I introduced my campus to this concept. Traditionally our scholarship has been
$E3peer reviewed$E4. But recently this has led to shamefully poor quality
publications (in other words, the traditional system of peer review is
dysfunctional ). I do more and more things outside this framework. Evaluations
are public acceptance, good reviews from traditional reviewing journals,
newspapers, cyber review sources, such as MERLOT, and comments from web site
users. Yes I have to demonstrate the acceptance of my work. Some of you who
are familiar with my
Foreign-Language Software & Web Central

will know that there are organizations which evaluate educational web sites for
language learning:

MERLOT - World Languages

I would personally appreciate hearing about others.
To give you an example of how things can work, I had a very good review in 2004
for
Societe Francois Villon
http://www.utm.edu/staff/globeg/villon.shtml
This site is also a "signet de la Bibliotheque Nationale de France" and is now
cited by most book-length studies on Villon. I also have some five-star MERLOT
sites. When it comes time for yearly eveluation, I simply give an update of my
web work and receive my points. I keep up with page view stats, etc.
Yes, I do have paper publicacions, but more frequently electronic.
