The keynote speech by Terry Anderson, Athabasca University was quite good: Teaching and learning in a networked world. He made it available on slideshare.com, so here it is. Main concept: the taxonomy of the many, with transition from group to network to collective - see also communities of inquiry.
Interesting the Avanoo idea of asking info to the user as a return for users inquiries.
Among other examples of networking sites he mentioned
- citeulike (A free online service to organise references to academic papers of interest and share them with others),
- technorati (Real-time search for user-generated media (including weblogs) by tag or keyword),
- slashdot (Source for technology related news with a heavy slant towards Linux and Open Source issues),
- meeting wizard (Online meeting and event invitation hosted software program).
- Facebook (a social utility that connects people with friends and others who work, study and live around them).
The rest of the day I was busy with my talks:
- Searching information in a collection of video-lectures,
- C3PO: a domain-aware course planning and publishing tool, presented by Joe Sant
- Case study: evaluation of a tool for searching inside a collection of multimodal e-lectures.
So I missed the talk by Li-Ling Chen on IWB and the one by Sandy Schuck and Matthew Kearney on the same topic.
Joe pointed me to the S5 system: a set of CSS for running a PPT-like presentation out of XHTML - cool. Thanks Joe!
