Designing for Learning in an Open World 

My suggestions are about virtual worlds and video. I'm not sure how sequences work around when technology is adapted by the public, by specialists, in eduaction. Virtual worlds may have been noticed in 2005 but I think there has been a blip, maybe just in the UK. The bandwidth required is too much for what actuially exists. So I think virtual worlds have drifted away. But they may come back.

Video is not obvious as a date but YouTube is on another diagram. I think there are now ways of using video for conversation but these are not widely used. Video conferencing can be recorded. There is a remix button on YouTube but not much use of it. Soundcloud has comments at specific times within a track but this is mostly used to discuss a mix. I don't see much about a lecture or similar.

So I hope there is more comment about the diagram during next week. this has started on Facebook but could be wider. 

3D Printing for Sculpture. Web Kirby proposes a gallery on a Twinity beach #mtw3

My friend Web Kirby has proposed a sculpture park on Twinity for 3D art objects. This could be a case study for #mtw3 next week. He may be right that a 3D model would be secure in Twinity even if sold for a specific location.

There are a few issues with this. I don't understand how this sort of art is promoted. The Phoenix show starts next month so there may be discussion then.

If you are on Twinity, search for "Beach For You" in Northampton. I asked for a beach in East Devon but for some reason the map data came up with Northampton. For a beach. and this is the service they no longer afford for the big cities.

3D printing for art, how can it replicate?

http://www.exeterphoenix.org.uk/art/?page=2

Still thinking about the 3D printing show at the Phoenix in Exeter next month. Will the art be in unlimited editions? How many works will have been modified by the artist? I think some will come straight from the machine. 

The name of the show is "Neoreplicants", this implies there is a way for the form to spread.

Previously we spoke on the Wild Show about limited editions of woodcut prints. A woodcut carving will be damaged by too much use but I can't see how there is any limit on 3D printing once the model is finalised.

I have found this link for a recent show in London, mostly a trade show with industrial applications.

I wonder if there is a policy yet, maybe it varies. More later, any link suggestions welcome.

Innovation, Kevin Lynch, Acrobat and PDF (temp version) #mtw3

Sorry this is brief, getting ready for the Wild show on Phonic FM. What I learn about radio will feed back to social media etc later.

But check out these links

from

This is based on just a quick glance but don't see much about Acrobat or PDF. Launch 11 has been very quiet. I still don't understand why you need Acrobat 11 to work with PDF in the cloud. It still seems very expensive. Is it the last desktop product for corporates that will just drift on? As memory serves Kevin Lynch introduced some wierd symbols to the Acrobat design on the grounds that everything had to follow design for mobile. At least they have now gone. I still like a pull down menu when there is space for it. If this is very out of date and needs no promotion at least there should be a version at a reduced price.  

A Theory of Public Relations that could help social media etc.

This is an update on previous posts hoping for an explicit theory of public relations that would help social media through more use of Creative Commons and posting of samples.

I think two years ago there was an Animated Exeter event at the cathedral when the work was clearly Creative Commons and also the official clip on YouTube was Creative Commons so the sound could be used with other images. On other occasions things are not so clear cut but something emerges.

On a recent post I quote from an interview with Jean Huang Lundgren, Head of video partnerships for Youtube, Greater China & South East Asia, 

Copyright is the content producer’s constant companion. How do you deal with the copyright environment in these emerging markets?

One incredible YouTube function I would like to publicize more, is our powerful Content ID feature, which helps protect copyright owners.  Once a content owner uploads its content to our system, it then creates an audio and video reference file which can identify video matches. Our system then scours all of YouTube’s video files to find if there are any matches, then it notifies the copyright owner through our Content Management System.  The content owner can then chose to take down the content, leave it up to drive promotions or monetize the content through advertising revenue share. All decisions are made by the content owners. Our system is very powerful, that a content owner can even set criteria on the content.  For example, if a film studio wants to take down content that is longer than 10 minutes but allow ads to be served on content less than 10 minutes, they can choose to do so.  

The invitation here is to allow 10 minutes or so as promotion, while the complete work is for sale.

A couple of other examples. Quite a lot of Nosferatu is on YouTube but this may encourage people to go to the Northcott Theatre for a bigger screen and a live piano player.

Also the BBC has posted on YouTube one song by Dionne Warwick from her recent CD as performed on Later. Probably she knows about this.

I am getting more interested in sound and radio as I have been supporting the Wild Show on Phonic FM. The live broadcast is covered by OFCOM and PRS but there is no "listen again" and posting to Soundcloud or YouTube or other places has various kinds of result.

As the web spreads I think text publishing may face similar issues and this is turning up around #mtw3 . Quite often there is some version of a text online as well as official publications that are quite expensive. Jean Huang Lundgren in her interview with  Asia Pacific Creative Landing Pad also mentions TouTube Education. This links to a list of universities and others posting video. I notice

that the numbers for views drops off quite quickly after the first twenty or so. So this may have an influence on potential students

 thinking about a  paid for course. I don't know of any studies on how this works but it may be part of the motivation.

Also I find with many conferences that the content is available shortly after the date of the actual event. The value of attending for in

 person questions and discussion is not reduced by this. It probably encourages new people to join in. Again, I don't know of any 

studies of numbers.

Links welcome to any existing writing on this. If I knew a better basis in PR theory it would help me borrowing stuff for blogs etc.

Video from Work Foundation, social video in Exeter #mtw3 #EX1to4

http://www.lums.lancs.ac.uk/media/view/mba-alumni-networking-london-march-2012/

This page about the MBA Alumni Network includes a well edited video. All the production standards are good as well, including the lighting. So subject to budget the Work Foundation is an ok location for video that includes presentations and casual conversation.

By the way, "subject to budget" is a frequent phrase for Jo Gedrych whenever I have tried to clarify the possibility of a video recording.  He is "directorJo" on YouTube and also JG Productions in Dunbar. A lot of the video on YouTube is also Exeter Television. I have tried to argue that production values may not matter so much for local reporting. Social video gradually puts more emphasis on speed of access and ease of commenting.

But probably the first few examples of social video from Exeter in the recent post are too difficult to cope with

However there are some genuine questions here. You can record video on a phone or tablet. But how to be steady if you have to tap the screen? How to get video file sizes small enough for a reasonable phone bill? And if playing back for radio how to stop these devides switching to another track? Continues on the Wild Show Phonic FM Thursday mornings. Some famous gaps made up of pure silence but the good bits will be edited for YouTube.

Chris has arranged some access to the South West Music Awards next week. Don't worry, there will be proper cameras as well and some bands have their own arrangements. But we will try out some casual shots. When we have a method the same approach might work at a conference.

Eastern Experiential Learning #Ethics #mtw3

http://mtw3.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/kolb-recycled-and-in-draft.html

This post was in June on the #mtw3 blog following a suggestion from John Burgoyne. There is a version of the paper that can be found online.

I hope there will be more about this, not sure how to scope it. I think it relates to Deming ideas and why quality systems seem to work better in Asia than in USA /UK. Comment welcome.

There will be a conference in November about 

Buddhist Values in Business and its Potential for Europe

I will try to find out more about this during next week. I think the section in John Burgoyne's second video about traffic jams in China should sequence to discussion about Europe also.

Link on virtual worlds and action learning #mtw3

Ahead of next week I am checking out previous posts from the official #mtw3 blog. On this blog I will be including much material that is not really part of the main event. Linda Shelton will probably stick to the essential outline.

On this post from earlier in the year there is a photo of Sally Potter on a visit to Second Life. Most of the avatars I know are usually in Twinity. I notice Web Kirby has started to comment on Facebook. 

I think #mtw3 is mostly headed for LinkedIn. But Second Life has some activity and may turn up again.

Some cohesion - Wild Show and #mtw3

Different things I am involved with sometimes seem quite separated, now and again they fit.

We have spoken about design science on the Wild Show and tried to relate it to music. We played some extracts from a podcast about barbarians, creative industries and copyright industries. Now I get an email link to a newsletter.

Asian Creative Transformations  interview with  Jean Huang Lundgren, Head of video partnerships for Youtube, Greater China & South East Asia,

The Korean wave really hit a lot of places around the world. China is obviously still lagging behind. Do you have any comment on that?

I don’t think that China is so much “lagging”, but that is hasn’t really had to worry so much about the international scene.  Domestically, the Chinese market is so big that is has a very upwardly mobile, eager and hungry audience for content.  It’s a bit similar to Japan, which also has been very focused on the domestic market. Only in the last few years has there emerged a sense of “we need to break out of our boundaries.” From a personal perspective, I have lived and worked in China for several and have seen the production quality change substantially. Actually, about six or seven years ago, there was an extremely popular video from China, the Backdorm Boys doing lip sync to songs by the Backstreet Boys and other pop stars. There are other numerous breakout examples on our platform

========================

Next week #mtw3 looks at academic publishing.

Guardian reports on BBC but not much on the Guardian, print plans for example

Just checked online and the story seems to have moved a bit but here are the main links for the print content I bought this morning-

Main thing I notice is that there is nothing in print about the Guardian itself and the numerous stories last week about possible cancellation of print. Apparently wholly untrue but then they might say something.

I still think the Guardian Unlimited Talk saga is worth further study. So far it has hardly been reported, certainly not in print. A very successful cover up. Who made the decision to close it? When did Alan Rusbridger know? etc etc

Newsweek and the Daily Beast have made a clear decision to go online. I think people in the UK including former Guardian readers should have a look fairly often. They have some stories about the UK press such as speculation as to how Murdoch papers got transcripts of Diana phone conversations.

This story may be mostly speculation but I still think it odd that no UK papers have mentioned it as far as I know. They don't report much about themselves.
