Advice request and invitation to expand impact
I've just soft-launched a free, public-service web platform, Explanipedia.com (and .org), that maps academic articles to topics to promote conceptual exploration. This helps learners enter scholarship through ideas, not just PDFs. Your work is already connected to preliminary key concepts that learners can explore and build upon through:
- Any Wikipedia topic/YouTube vid contextusalised by your article; super-shareable and impactful
- Critical analysis grounded directly in your article; a practical antidote to mis-, dis-, and mal-information
- Learning arcs tying your scholarship to new inquiry and article-production via: Dialectics , Semiotics , Simulacrics , and Narratics
- Strategic alignment & measurable benefit, reinforcing core HE priorities including: TNE, OER, SDG, GCE, IoC, DEI, WIL, KE, QA, CPD, IoE, L&T, and more...
Here's your author page: /articles/author/jay-e-brock/ and here's a specific article example:
👉 A Comparison of Five SARS-CoV-2 Molecular Assays With Clinical Correlations
Examples of your work contextualising and informing a specified topic (NB: you can specify any topic):
- Design and Implementation of Improved SARS-CoV-2 Diagnostic Assays To Mitigate the Impact of Genomic Mutations on Target Failure: the Xpert Xpress SARS-CoV-2 Experience mobile optimised
- Deep oncopanel sequencing reveals within block position-dependent quality degradation in FFPE processed samples mobile optimised
- A Model for Design and Implementation of a Laboratory Information-Management System Specific for Molecular Pathology Laboratory Operations mobile optimised
On a main article page (eg your article without any focal topic selected) the button on any Related Topic card opens a topic view contextualised by your article for sharing as standard web page or mobile story (to which a YouTube vid can optionally be added to guide learners).
Explanipedia's mission and goals are on the About page. Draft structures for future articles can be viewed for any topic, and authored leveraging the platform eg: Passive Solar Building Design, The Narrow Road To The Deep North (Novel) and America's Next Top Model Season 24 .
I’m now deliberating collaboration and investment routes and I would really appreciate your guidance on optimal trajectory. My hope is to connect with proactive academic influencers across all disciplines - arts and humanities, social sciences, STEM, education, and professional fields - who appreciate the potential of this platform and can help me reach broad academic networks. Once positioned, I will directly approach and engage scholars actively publishing across the full spectrum of university subjects and research domains.
Would you be open to a short conversation to share your perspective?
Sincere thanks for your time and care.
