UKOLN Blogs and Social Networks workshop - Virtually

Having attended my first virtual workshop in SL this pm I think it’s a great concept and one that you probably think won’t work until you try it out - but which does when you experience it. Only a grumpy old avatar would not be excited by this concept - ok the technology isn’t 100 percent reliable as yet but this has huge potential for distance learning compared to some of the other methods of video conferencing I’ve experienced or heard horror stories about….

UKOLN Blogs and Social Networks workshop

Pros -
1. Audio Feed for pm session worked ok but took a while to come up
2. Screen lovely and clear to view the slides
3. No need to travel to and from birmingham

Cons -
1. If you have a slow pc like mine it’s no good for doing anything else whilst you’re in SL (trying to access the video feed would probably have crashed my machine)
2. You can’t attend the breakout session
3. You can’t access the links through the viewer so need to look at slideshare version at the same time as listening to the audio and running SL.

Freeing Dark Data

Interesting article by Thomas Goetz concerning “open notebook” science….

What happens to all the research that doesn’t yield a dramatic outcome — or, worse, the opposite of what researchers had hoped? It ends up stuffed in some lab drawer. The result is a vast body of squandered knowledge that represents a waste of resources and a drag on scientific progress. This information — call it dark data — must be set free.
