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/kathryn-peebles/ and here's a specific article example:
Examples of your work contextualising and informing a specified topic (NB: you can specify any topic):
- Molnupiravir Use Among Patients with COVID-19 in Real-World Settings: A Systematic Literature Review mobile optimised
- Population-based estimates of COVID-19 period prevalence and cumulative monthly incidence in New York City: A comparison of estimates from three surveys, July–August 2020 mobile optimised
- Pfizer-BioNTech Coronavirus Disease 2019 Vaccine Effectiveness Against Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 Infection Among Long-term Care Facility Staff With and Without Prior Infection in New York City, January–June 2021 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: Relationships Among Probability Distributions, Estimates Of Historical World Population and Medicine .
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.
