Building Collaborative Capacities in Learners: The M/Cyclopedia Project, Revisited. Abstract: In this paper we trace the evolution of a project using a wiki-based learning environment in a tertiary education setting. The project has the pedagogical goal of building learners’ capacities to work effectively in the networked, collaborative, creative environments of the knowledge economy.
The paper explores the four key characteristics of a ‘produsage’ environment and identifies four strategic capacities that need to be developed in learners to be effective ‘produsers’ (user/producers). A case study is presented of our experiences with the subject New Media Technologies, run at Queensland University of Technology. Exchange and collaborate about this talk M. Abstract: With few exceptions, currently published research on the educational use of wikis does not include how the learning activities should be “shaped, planned or enforced” in a wiki. U. A. R. D.

Parip/Practice as Research in Performance. International Conference | 29 June - 03 July 2005 Selvin: Al | UK/USA PARIP 2005 single-session workshop abstract Making Knowledge Art: Learning from the Improvisatory Dynamics of Live Participatory Hypermedia Construction For the past three years, we have been attempting to apply an aesthetic lens to a digital media practice more usually associated with other research discourses, such as group support systems and computer-supported cooperative work. This three-hour workshop will explore the improvisatory dynamics of practitioner actions in the construction and modification of hypermedia knowledge representations in live settings with groups.
A goal of the workshop will be to help us answer the following research questions: in what sense(s) can the practice of this type of digital media in the settings we are analyzing be characterized as "performance," and the work of the practitioner be usefully analyzed in aesthetic and ethical terms?

REDMOND, Wash, Oct. 20, 2006 – Just ask any business traveler on a red-eye flight after a few days of meetings at corporate headquarters: There’s got to be a better way for businesses to bring employees together face-to-face. Microsoft researchers felt sure they could come up with one – an audio/video device that’s mobile, simple to operate and costs much less than expensive video conferencing systems. Now, Microsoft aims to deliver on all three of these original design goals with Microsoft Office RoundTable, a device scheduled to debut by mid-year 2007. It combines the features of a speakerphone with those found in videoconferencing into a device that Microsoft expects will retail for less than US$3,000.
