8th International Digital Curation Conference. #idcc13 IDCC brings together those who create and manage data and information, those who use it and those who research and teach about curation processes.
Our view of ‘data’ is a broad one – video games and virtual worlds are of just as much interest as data from laboratory instruments or field observation. Whether the information originates in the arts, humanities, social or experimental sciences the issues faced are cross-disciplinary. Digital curators maintain, preserve, and add value to digital information throughout its life, reducing threats to its long-term value, mitigating the risk of digital obsolescence, and enhancing the potential for reuse for all purposes. If you are a curator, if you teach or train future curators, or if you depend on them for your work, IDCC is for you.

Ideas & products found at BETT by Oliver Quinlan. Intuition have teamed up with Stephen and Juliette Heppell to design this range of classroom furniture.
Designed to be flexible, every surface is a working space and a sitting space- allowing for stand up desks, and even tiered seating. The furniture was in use on Stephen’s stand and BETT and seemed sturdy enough to withstand the wear and year of the classroom. Some children were also using it to write on with whiteboard pens to keep their ideas flowing. Skoog music have created an electronic musical performance instrument. Originally designed for children with physical challenges, it features around five surfaces which can be assigned to notes or sound samples. Their website has some great videos of this instrument being played by children with physical disabilities in an orchestra as a full solo instrument. Encyclopedia Britannica are asking people at the show… Some of the responses: Big hair learning allow teachers to submit video lessons for students to watch. Future learning environments: professional, powerful, personal.
