Today I’m dipping into the Eduserv Foundation symposium 2008 “Inside Out: What do current Web trends tell us about the future of ICT provision for learners and researchers?” via the live streaming. If you’re reading this today, join in, it’s free!
Look out for other conference blog posts tagged efsym2008
The first session of the day is/was by Larry Sanders from New Media Consortium who publish the Horizon Reports. I blogged about the 2008 Report on CLT@LSE earlier this year so if you are new to the reports take a look there or at the Horizon Project wiki.
I missed some of Larry’s talk so what’s been most interesting is how well the live webcast is working – almost feels like you are there! It’s very easy to get distracted in the office though, you need discipline for online attendance to work. There is also a live chat for the online viewers on the streaming page, which during the end-of-talk Q&As is being shown in the conference venue. So the live participants get to see our views and a questioner just referred to some comments in his question to Larry.
Larry’s used of virtual bulleted lists in SecondLife as his presentation tool was questioned both virtually and by a member of the live audience. I have to agree that it didn’t add anything and actually made reading them difficult. Technology for technology’s sake?
