As we approach the conference season...
August 22, 2008
A few weeks ago I posted a request for ideas about 'surviving conferences' and asked for tips about getting the most out of conferences as a delegate (there is already a plethora of conference organiser material). The response was excellent and I received lots of great ideas. I am looking at a printed version (in a small booklet form) but ...

Incentives for research participants
July 28, 2008
Just wondering whether people would routinely offer an incentive to people who have participated in their data collection in some way, and if so, what sort of incentive you could consider appropriate. Recently, I have received two very handsome incentives - one cash, one a material object - but in each case I didn't know I would receive anything beforehand. On one project ...

This week, a bunch of us from the Emerge project were invited to contribute to the OSS Watch expert workshop on profiling communities. I was asked to present, and as part of my talk looked at the current state of Open Source social networking platforms and tools. I'm hoping to follow up with an evaluation matrix of the ...

This years ALT-C Edublogger meetup will be taking place after the Emerge reception & dinner, in it's usual slot on Tuesday night.

Telling (digital) Stories
July 15, 2008
One of my favorite sessions at the last Emerge online conference, Exploring User 2.0 was the hands-on closing session on Digital Storytelling. John Sandars invited us to upload a single image "that represents your feelings about engaging with web 2.0 technologies" prior to the session, and we talked through 12 submitted pictures. The session was very lively, thought provoking and ...
