In “The Professor as Open Book,” the New York Times writer Stephanie Rosenbloom recently took up the issue of whether social networking sites help strengthen teacher-student relationships, or merely serve to “celebritize” faculty. While personal self-disclosure in the face-to-face classroom has been the subject of many pedagogical studies within academia, self-disclosure in a brave new cyber-world is a new, complex phenomenon. To be fair, concerns over electronic faculty profiles are not unfounded, particularly since unflattering faculty reviews are regularly circulated on the Web site “RateMyProfessors.com.” Even when faculty are given the opportunity to defend themselves from poor student ratings, such as on MTVu’s hit reality-TV series “Professors Strike Back,” the merits of good teaching are often reduced to nothing more than whether or not the professor is entertaining in class. So much for enhanced global interconnectivity between teachers and students in the digital age.
