Draft procedure for social video production #oldsmooc #phonicfm

Phonic5

Below is part of a procedure for an imagined production sequence for social video.

Week two of #oldsmooc is about context. I am interested in casual learning or whatever you want to call learning as most people find it. Or put another way how learning and non-learning occurs in organisations. we have been invited to work on scenarios, personas, foce field diagrams. Some fiction involved. So I have suggested looking at quality systems and have added this short bit of procedure.

( much of #oldsmooc is public, try YouTube or Cloudworks

 http://cloudworks.ac.uk/cloud/view/7039 )

Procedure
 
There is a recording design meeting before the event. Agenda to include the range of cameras to be used, access to the sound desk, copyright arrangements agreed with the performers.
 
After the event there is an edit design meeting. Agenda to include assessment of existing recording, copyright discussion with performers, and budget for distribution. Distribution decisions will influence the form and resource for editing.
 
Note- Creative Commons may be applied to recordings during the event but not always to the final product. There could be payment for content used. This will be part of both design meetings. 


I will try out some of this around the next Phonic FM  benefit. My assumption is that it is ok with the performers to video and load to YouTube. Also to play sound on Phonic. Usually works ok except when I forget to tell them or send the right link.

YouTube approach for an academic conference could be much the same as for music. Just in case you thought this was off topic.


After HMV could the Guardian go bust? What value subscriptions?

I am still surprised how little reporting there is on customer concerns about HMV gift vouchers.

I think most companies linked to print are suspect. Music is just a few years ahead in web terms.

The cost of the print Guardian keeps going up and the value / number of pages for the Media section for example is going down.

Nothing today on HMV as such or whether record company brands were or were not involved in HMV or might be again or whatever.

Just a tease that suggests a story tomorrow on universities facing a similar situation.

"We own the Weekend" may be code for stopping print versions Monday to Friday.

I don't think they intend to explain in print what they really plan for the web. The print audience is just a cash cow till it falls apart.

I probably will risk £1.40 tomorrow for some gossip on universities.

But like book tokens, a newspaper subscription is now a risk too far.

Zone of Proximal Adjustment - King's Cross to ExCel / BETT to IPEX #oldsmooc

(download)

I previously thought that the Zone of Proximal Development in terms of time would be next year between the second Cross Media event and the preparation for IPEX. But things may be moving more quickly. Some sort of adjustment from print media to the web is happening though the shape is not that clear. Now both Xerox and HP have decided not to attend IPEX there is a weaker offer on digital print. I personally think the HMV decision not to pay out on record gift vouchers raises a question about book tokens and book selling in the high street. So thinking about ideas around IPEX could start now.

http://will789gb.posterous.com/trying-out-cross-media-as-an-event-in-slow-mo

At the end of the month there is the Learning Technology Show and BETT, now expanded to include HE and adult learning. ( There may be an overland rail route between them ) BETT is on a similar scale to IPEX and at the same location. Probably not with the proportion of tablets suggested by the Xmas wish list. But a reasonable clue on future expectations for communication supply.

The location for the zone is between King's Cross and Excel. The map is lost from the previous post. I have found the route towards the Olympic site but I don't know how this has changed recently to head south.

Meanwhile I am still thinking about Week Two of the OLDS MOOC. I have made a start on a scenario and a force field. Also added my own suggestions on Soft Systems Methodology, Action Learning and Deming. I also want to look at an Ecology of Resources so have found a section on scaffolding and adjustment

My first issue is with a previous step

1.6 Identify Potential More Able Partners (MAPs)

This shows a problem in thinking about learning in practice as if it was the same as learning on a course. There are no "More Able Partners". Nobody knows, as they say on Qi . Maybe the people who attended the first Cross Media event have a better idea than most.

I will come back to this later in Feb. 

Sparkle plug, probably 20th Feb on Exeter Campus

I have done a video promoting Sparkle. I think there will be a screening at the Exeter Campus Cinema on Feb 20th . I also plan to play more tracks on the Wild Show, Phonic FM 10 -12 on a Thursday.

Probably YouTube will find other connections in other places. So Rougemont Global Broadcasting may reach some people outside Exeter.

Nelson George on the music. ( I don't think the plot is not worth seeing, just that the music is the main area for attention at the moment)

HMV vouchers, notes for Wild Show next week

This Thursday on the Wild Show, Phonic FM I spoke with JD about the apparent closure of HMV and the decision not to respect gift vouchers. Our guests were Carl Munson and Roxy from Seale Hayne who unexpectedly also raised the HMV gift vouchers topic when I mentioned that Run Devil Run by Paul McCartney was probably in stock. I have put the two clips on YouTube-

So the concern on this issue is widely shared.

As reported in the Guardian-

A senior Tory backbench MP has accused HMV bosses of committing theft by continuing to sell vouchers when they must have been aware "there was little prospect of those vouchers or gift cards ever being redeemed".
Sir Tony Baldry, a practising barrister specialising in commercial law, said "directors and management must have known that the company was at very real risk of failure" whilst they continued selling vouchers "all through Christmas and up until the day they went into administration".
 

http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2013/jan/16/hmv-accused-of-theft-over-gift-vouchers

However as far as I know the Express and Echo has not so far included the vouchers issue in their reporting.

http://www.thisisexeter.co.uk/Jobs-risk-HMV-enters-administration/story-17872591-detail/story.html

I think the situation should be a concern for all those interested in the future of Exeter retail. The Express and Echo quotes the City Centre Manager-

Exeter's city centre manager John Harvey said he hoped HMV could be saved.
"Administration doesn't necessarily mean closure and there's a great deal of difference between the HMV scenario and some recent casualties, notably Jessops," he said.
"I understand the Exeter store performs reasonably well, it's in a good location in a very successful centre, so I'm reasonably optimistic.
"But it's another sign of just why we can't be complacent and that the challenges we are facing remain very real. Any store closure is disappointing."

On the Today Program this morning Evan Davis supplied some BBC balance and asked the question why retail customers should have any more rights than other creditors. The suggestion seemed to be that consumers have a duty to assess the commercial risk in retail supply.

Currently there is little information on whether the record companies have been paid or will be. According to the Guardian there was a deal at the beginning of 2012 to keep HMV trading in return for shares. The companies named in the article include Universal, Sony Music and Warner Brothers though it is stated that details were unclear. If these companies had shares were they able to influence directors? Were they aware of the financial situation? Did they know the policy on gift vouchers?

According to Cue Entertainment there are possible ways in which HMV shops could continue to trade.

Warner Home Video UK SVP and MD John Stanley said, “Everyone at Warner Bros. is working closely with HMV – and Blockbuster – to help them through this tough period and wish them success in finding support to keep their important brands trading. GAME is the ideal blueprint for a reshaped entertainment business that is evolving to fit today’s requirements in both physical and digital. We, therefore, hope to see Blockbuster and HMV in a similar position soon.”

So would Warner Home Video be at all concerned about the reputation of Warner Brothers Music?

If consumers are supposed to assess the credit risk in retail some disturbing conclusions follow. Print could go the same way as music. Should you buy a book token from Waterstones? Once HMV and Waterstones were part od the same company. The way in which finance is restructured could be a clue. Should you subscribe to a print publication? Is it possible that the Times or Guardian could cease publication in print? Should this decision stand there is an alarming scenario which will not be helpful to Exeter or any other retail centre.

I have had an email from Public Relations at Deloitte which answers some questions and raises others.

“Following our appointment, we are working closely with management and staff to stabilise the business in order to continue trading whilst actively seeking a purchaser for the business and assets. We appreciate the cooperation and support from the staff, customers, suppliers and landlords at what is clearly a difficult time.”

So nothing about gift vouchers here but if they really want to continue trading then goodwill could be an asset. Rapidly vanishing I would guess.

Certain HMV Group plc subsidiaries including HMV Guernsey Ltd, HMV Hong Kong Ltd, HMV Ireland Ltd, HMV Singapore Ltd and 7Digital Group remain outside of an insolvency process.
In this press release references to Deloitte are references to Deloitte LLP, which is among the country's leading professional services firms.
Deloitte LLP is the United Kingdom member firm of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited (“DTTL”), a UK private company limited by guarantee, whose member firms are legally separate and independent entities. Please see www.deloitte.co.uk/about for a detailed description of the legal structure of DTTL and its member firms.

We may need Evan Davis to explain what this means. Consumers have a new duty to work this out.

Probably more next week on the Wild Show, Thursday 10 -12. Any comment welcome. Facebook group search for Wild Show.

 

Introducing Deming, Soft Systems, Action Learning as MOOC storytelling context #oldsmooc

Week two on the OLDS MOOC is about story telling or something. Context? Learning happens in a social situation. Eventually we will get to disruption in education organisation.

Anyway, this weekend there is an option to suggest other methods. Copied from Google Group which I think is only for people on the course-

I am looking at Scenarios and Personas and a sort of Force Field, without arrows or plus or minus at the moment. I will also have a look at the other suggested approach. But this seems like the place to write about Deming, Soft Systems Methodology, and also Action Learning again. Not at length obviously but I will put some links in. Also try to involve some other groups from LinkedIn.

My dream is about social video production. Change depends on some shared vision and culture, but also hard skills possibly enhanced by instructional design and also different management attitudes enhanced by structure and process. So I may be using the word "learning" in a more casual sense than in education theory. Somethning happens, maybe we don't know what it is.

There is already a cloud on Plan - Do - Check / Study - Act , which Deming called the Shewart Cycle. It can relate to Dewey and American pragmatism.
http://cloudworks.ac.uk/cloud/view/2455

The Force Field diagram reminds me of a systems model. Checkland is more upfront about learning with each book, see linked reference.

I did not come across much in week one about
Reposted to blog - will789gb on Posterous and LinkedIn groups for #mosocoop (Deming group at CQI) and #mtw3 (online conference continues Management Theory at Work) and International Foundation for Action Learning.

word groups , Prezi and mindmap to follow

As mentioned previously the OLDS MOOC is taking up time. I don't find a Prezi very easy to follow, impressive though. On a mind map I am just lost. But I may get the hang of it later.

So here are some words for the next week or so to make connections with other posts and groups-

OLDS MOOC - learning log week one

Copied from Cloudworks. My portfolio is at

http://cloudworks.ac.uk/cloudscape/view/2639

I think this has been a classic week. Not sure why. Partly just emerging from holiday drift but mostly I think there has been a shift in the positioning of web resources. Surveys show that most kids wanted a tablet as a present. Whether they got one I don't know. There were reassuring announcements on book sales. But now HMV is in trouble.
Cloudworks is falling over due to massiveness, but the OU must be confident to want to try out the limits.
I do find the different platforms hard to follow. Different clouds for different purposes. Twitter and YouTube easier to use. A lot to get used to - Bibsonomy still not absorbed.
I don't think my questions on theory have got through yet. Maybe later. I would welcome a lot more on what design science is. I come across the same words in management but I'm not sure the theory is the same. (My colleague Linda Shelton is updating the cloud on Design Science though she is not on the course)
Also the set and project approach is very like Action Learning. Though I don't find this in the theory references. There is a LinkedIn group for the International Foundation for Action Learning, current question "What is absolutely essential for an effective set?"
It was good to hear in the video that forming groups for projects is expected to take a while. I am continuing the video production even with a very small group. I may get some interest from Facebook. It seems ok to involve a local support or whatever. Since so many bits and pieces of social media are in use this seems likely to happen anyway.
I am also going to explore Google+ . I use gmail and some other bits but so far have not replied. I suspect Google has just raided my email list but I could be wrong, there may be more to this. The video of the hangout works very well.
I am going to follow the digital literacy and virtual worlds projects but not sure how much I can contribute.
This MOOC is not what I expected. In new jargon I now think I had heard about an x-MOOC, transmission of existing knowledge. I had no idea a project or p-MOOC could be designed as massive. Still not sure how it will work out.


Posts on this Posterous blog may be a bit erratic over the next few weeks. The OLDS MOOC is truly massive and there is a lot to check out. They are using social media a lot so you don't have to sign on for the course. YouTube for example has most of the intros , some future weeks already there.

Next post a few words in groups.
