Last three posts were actually intended for my third year Economics students. This is what happens when you're editing multiple blogs in a dashboard in a hurry. I'll leave them up but reminder to self to be more careful. Luckily I spotted error before the class in 30 minutes...

My work-ish blog has been neglected for some time. Time I brought it back to life (as Evanescence might say). Until a few minutes ago when I embedded a SlideShare presentation on OER into it. Not that I haven't been busy doing stuff but have been concentrating on Twitter (for sheer convenience) as well as updating other blogs.

Now I'm a member of staff here at NTU but I'm also a student doing post-graduate work.I'd been meaning to try and get to grips with RefWorks for some time and a few days ago I finally did. I had to adapt my way of working but once I did it proved to be very effective. There's a really useful add-on too which allows you to import book from Amazon into your RefWorks database, which did't quite work

Don't need to say any more really but if you ever get the chance to visit the Imperial War Museum there is a special gallery dedicated to the holocaust. Grim but worthy.

Just seen an email sent earlier today from HR about updated staff policies. Amongst the other stuff I found this statement:Staff should avoid activity that might adversely affect the reputation of the University or bring the University into disrepute.Would this include Blogger and Twitter postings? YouTube videos? What I might say down the pub? Comments on the websites of the BBC, Guardian, Times

I haven't updated this blog for some time as I tend to concentrate on the blog for my third year module; The Internet, Computers & Society. Furthermore I'm currently firing off the odd work related posting on Twitter is even quicker and easier than logging into here, especially from my phone.And of course everything tech or work related took second place to my parents in 2009...

Something that has delayed my plans for new revision materials, including multimedia "stuff" (see last post), is the lack of space I have at both home and work. York House was a bit of a dump but at least it was a more spacious dump than Chaucer - which is nice but lacks both identified office space and just spare (quiet) corners (or complete rooms) in which to sometimes work, especially

I've been off work lately because my mother recently passed away so I'm very grateful for a combination of Blogger, NOW (Nottingham Online Workspace) and YouTube. More to the point my third year Economics students are/will be for as I play catch up with my planned revision materials/sessions for their impending exam.A mix of text, images, audio and video can be fairly quickly generated (I hope/

Ahh yes YouTube has gone wide screen by deafult(16:9 I think) and it means that new video postings onto some of the older template designs look a little odd/broken. Maybe I'll get around to working out the workaround...

Cheap and cheerful video capture of the option talk that I gave yesterday to the second year Economics students. They were sitting through a series of presentations to help them choose their optional modules for next year. I was a bit under the weather and forgot a couple of tricks/props I was intending to use but it seemed to go okay anyway...I've also posted this on the actual module blog but

Short rough and ready screen capture that does the job of telling colleagues how I recently tried using video to give students faster and more effective feedback when used in conjunction with traditional feedback for some third year coursework. All rather low tech but seems to have been effective - formal feedback in due course. I trialled this on my third year Economics module, The Internet,

Really wish I'd gotten around to buying a netbook of some description when I had to haul my rather old and very heavy laptop up to yesterday's event. Had a MacBook too and loads of other gear. The MacBook was fine but I was very envious of those travellers I saw with netbooks, very small and very light, and ideal for travelling.Once I'd got to Glasgow and was traveling into the city centre I

Well quite high.Flew to Glasgow (and back) yesterday for an event organised by the SWAP Subject Centre and the Institute for Research and Innovation in the Social Services IRISS.Travelling there and back by train wasn't viable (I checked) so had to fly. Flight itself was perfectly pleasant (each way) but those early check-in times and airline security procedures are a pain in the arse. As is the

Well another bunch of colleagues has just left York House. One colleague was telling me that they had been based in the building for 34 years. Many different offices over that time but 34 years in one building. A long time...Having said that I came here as a student in 1985 and although I haven't been here the whole time since then I have been here most of the time. Where does the time go?If you

Do we need protection from the Data Protection act?Or from how universities interpret the implementation of it?The Times Higher Education (15 May 2008) reports the case of an academic (an Economist) who got into trouble for confirming the details of a student's timetable to the student's mother. This seems a bit harsh especially as the general pattern of attendance for first year students (who

Today was the funeral of a long standing colleague called David Bayliss.Dave was one of those colleagues who was always really helpful, often funny and good to spend time with.There was a UCU branch meeting earlier this week (Wednesday) where a minute's silence was held for him.I trust that UNISON did something similar if they were meeting and that the university publication (Grapevine) will

Today I attended a pretty long but most definitely useful session run by a couple of guys from the University of Leicester.They were from the Beyond Distance Research Alliance perhaps best known for its Media Zoo and Gilly Salmon.Learnt a few useful things and they also affirmed some of my own best practice/e-learning experimentation.

I attended a presentation on the new new (impending) VLE at NTU yesterday.An issue I raised (as I have done elsewhere) is whether any policy descision has yet been made about staff who currently use external sites to provide those things that the current VLE (the VLP) doens't. For instance I have a couple of blogs (this being one of them but the more active one is one I use to support a third

Wishing you all a Happy New Year.The New Year is here and the new term beckons. I remember when 2008 was a date in science fiction novels... Santa was kind to me but something I'm really looking forward to is reading a couple of novels I treated myself to via Amazon just before Christmas.A Very Peculiar Practice and A Very Peculiar Practice: The New Frontier, both by Andrew Davies.

If you've read the posts about the videos below (students holding up signs etc to convey impressions of how education isn't working for them) then is educational engagement via Second Life a partial answer? Well, maybe, but only partial. But here is a short positive video on just this issue. Go Go Joe!

First impressions of the MacBook I recently acquired via a project are very positive.Little but important things impress. It starts up in under 15 seconds and shuts down in about 6 seconds. All the Windows machines I use take ages to do either. Batter life is very good compared to the Windows XP and Vista laptops I’ve used. Lightweight and looks good but will I have to use a special cleaner to

Great song. Good video.Currently on YouTube and may periodically disappear. But here it is...One of those simple but very effective ideas copied many times since. I like the Seether variation (see other posting) where People With signs tell us what they are really thinking. Great video for discussions for sociologists, anthropologists, psychologists, educators and the like… I also like the song.

This is a great video.It uses some simple techniques to effectively convey its message in a far more effective way than some dense written text or even another (yet another) PowerPoint show. Definitely worth watching. I've seen the technique on a few other videos over the years but Bob Dylan (video for Subterranean Homesick Blues) and Seether (video for Fine Again) are the best examples.Credited

Well I'm pleased to say that I've passed my PGCHE.Post Graduate Certificate in Higher Education.Great course if rather heavily assessed (given how busy we are). But that's a universal student gripe I'm sure. Even if I hadn't passed I would have gotten a lot from this course. I've changed some of my practices as a result of things I've picked up on the course and in other instances it affirmed

This morning I went and bought a replacement Power Supply Unit (Actually MagSafe Power Adapter) and so was able to power up the new MacBook.First thing it did was predictable. It wanted me to sign up with all kinds of details in relation to the warranty, Apple's marketing needs and anything else that suits them.

Couldn't wait to fire it up and begin to compare it against my own Vista laptop and some XP machines.Looks gorgeous, even the packaging is desirable but the comparisons will have to wait as the first thing that happened was that the supplied MagSafe Power Adapter blew up on me. So it looks

Following my success in the Economics Network Annual Learning and Teaching Awards 2007 I will be publishing a guide to just how I embedded the videos into my blog account.Whilst the more technically inclined amongst you may be thinking it is easy I bear in mind that not everyone is technically minded. It is also important to think about the WHAT and WHY and not just the HOW.

I'm currently on annual leave but will start updating this blog in the near future.Although on leave (and enjoying it) I'm also logging in now and again, thinking about outstanding PGCHE assignments, and reflecting upon what changes I still have time to make for next year's teaching...But thought I would post something so people don't think I've forgotten about the blog.Merely having a break!

Today is the first of the month and some people have the tradition that if the first thing you say on the first day of any month is "White Rabbits" then you will receive a gift. Something like that!I think I manage it about one a year as like most people I usually manage "Oh God what time is it?" or something similar. I kind of managed it today so as a present to myself and to anyone reading this

Joint Social Work in Education conference (JSWEC) 2007.I was there at the invitation of the Social Work and Policy Subject Centre, with whom I have an e-learning consultancy role. One of my jobs at the conference was to record video interviews with some of the keynote speakers and authors of key texts who were present at the conference. I was also working as an event photographer capturing lots

Some time ago I mentioned some research that suggested that wireless access increased Internet penetration. Since I've lost the wireless capabilities on my aging laptop I've definitely found it more difficult to keep up blog postings.I either have to break away from something at work or have to use a particlar computer in a specifc room in my house. When the laptop was fully functional it was

Okay I've finally broken the recent postings duck.Like many of my colleagues I'm currently working through piles of marking.Final year exam scripts are top of the list as they have to be marked, second marked, and then posted out to the external examiners to a very tight deadline.Oh joy!

Today I attended the funeral of one of my brothers.Like other funerals I’ve attended it puts everything else in a certain perspective.It especially puts work in perspective. That is the relevance of this posting.

I was interested to see a number of news reports today about the issue around “cyber bullying” and the posting of video clips by pupils onto sites like YouTube. For example see this BBC clipThis problem comes as no surprise to me and in fact I raised this as an issue at a public meeting several years ago. In fact it was back in the winter of 2004, when I gave a talk entitled: Never Mind Big

There's been a break in posting partly because I'm simply knackered at the moment and have dropped a gear for the so called Easter break and my laptop still has no wireless card at the moment. Think I mentioned that the old one broke recently so I bought a new one last week from Tesco in Barrow in Furness (while visiting relatives) but that worked in Barrow but not since I've got back here.

I'm going to share a useful trick with colleagues.Many of you will have seen these instant polling systems where people in a room use little "remotes" to select answers or vote and the results come up on a big screen.These systems are great and indeed NTU is about to purchase one. But what if you haven’t got access to such a system? Well something I’ve done for a few years is to use SurveyMonkey

(The title of this post and first paragraph also appear on the Internet, Computers & Society module blog but I didn't think the second paragraph was relevant to the students.)There used to be an advert for Tunes (I think) where a man with a heavy cold cannot make himself heard to the person at the railway ticket counter.

Some new research suggests a strong link between the use of wireless networking and patterns of internet usage. If you have wireless you use the web a lot more.The fact that the wireless card on my laptop got broken a few days ago, and the lack of blog postings since then, may offer further proof to this idea.I'm currently typing this entry in the dark, in a cold conservatory, on my desktop

Today I learnt that Sally Hunt has won the election for top job at UCU (the trade union of university lecturers) which is bitterly disappointing.If half the reports I have read about the tactical ill-preparedness of her former union (thus herself and colleagues) in the recent national pay dispute are true then we are all screwed. Perhaps I could encourage colleagues from history, military studies

I've just been off for two days and in that time received about 200 emails. Many were junk, some were actual spam, and others were just of no interest but from legitimate sources, and finally there was the not inconsiderable number of mails that required some kind of reply or action on my part. It just never lets up...

And this week my principal clash on Wednesday afternoon is between Trevor’s PGCHE session (on something I can probably manage but I simply like Trevor’s sessions) and the Economics Course Committee, which will be worthy but - well I won’t say dull – but course committees are often heavy on materials and light on interaction, especially if you are not part of the core teaching team.

On a more positive note (after the last posting) I would add that today I went to a meeting of the NTU eLearning Consultative Group. Essentially this is the group who are tasked with selecting a new Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) for the Nottingham Trent University.Now I’ll resist putting in any details since some things are sensitive and so confidential (+ Doh!

Yesterday I took part in an e-learning focus group as part of a national project.One of the issues that arose was the lack of personal web spaces for staff at NTU. I say personal but I really mean professional – more "here is my research" than "here is my dog". This has been a long running sore with many academics at NTU since it was implemented.Anyway I pointed out that like many teaching and

A few days ago we had a PGCHE meeting that focussed on “Widening Participation”.Some quite firm views were exchanged in relation to various aspects of this topic.Mmmmmm. Must come back to this one. I was going to write about it now but I’m too tired. I’ve just done hours and hours of marking and so I’m fairly brain dead. So just doing a few odd jobs, checking out this week’s timetable etc ( my

Whilst it is rather pleasant in my conservatory at the moment it would be even nicer if I wasn’t about to embark on another pile of marking.

I saw a great article in The Guardian on Saturday about the current strife in Second Life as people (in the guise of their avatars) protested against the new SL HQ of the French far right. Protests escalated as avatars began fighting with stun guns, exploding pigs, and even a holographic Thomas the Tank Engine.Who couldn’t be excited by this?

Welcome to Nothingham? A virtual Nottingham in the E-Midlands?If I were a city looking to improve my international brand I would also advocate using Second Life or something similar? Yes. Applying the same 3-6 months – you should have done it already and 12-18 months rules as for universities –see previous posting.But we are rapidly reaching the point where simply doing something, however feebly

Just been looking through my Google Alerts including one I have for Second Life.This led me to an article about the growing number of colleges who have a presence in the Second Life metaverse. People sometimes ask me about the potential of Second Life and I think it has one but as with all things in life you don’t get something for nothing. I’m sure that if you put effort and resources into

Lots of fuss over Web 2.0 and what it really means but most people are agreed that it means something big. People are also speculating about Web 3.0. While listening to a recent CNET BuzzOutLoud podcast one of the guests mantioned that he'd even registered the domain name "Web 3.0.com" though quite what he registered I'm not sure but it couln'dt have been what I've just typed. But I'm going off

Several weeks ago we had a session on the issue of different learning styles.I've been thinking about this on and off since then but while writing up my assignment today (when I kept seeing the term in literature search results) I determined that I would finally make a quick comment on the blog.The issue of individual learning styles and how educators should perhaps cope with them is a valid

Here in the UK it is 2007 plus 10 minutes.I've just logged off from Second Life (cue jokes about having no first life) where I had a brief New Year fly around. I was only in there a few minutes - honest.The first time I've spent New Year in a virtual environment. Unlike my teenage years when it was spent in a rather jolly state, or later surrounded by drugged up goths, or the odd year surrounded

Well it's 15.33 local time and as that happens to be GMT it's a relevant one if we're counting down to the end of the year. Trying to get back into work mode and get on with my PGCHE assignment.I haven't been able to access my work email via the VLP (NTU's VLE) for the last couple of days. Yesterday I got in via a different route but today that too is down. So it's a good job I copied over

Yesterday various national news bulletins carried the story of someone who was sent to work in Barrow in Furness (my home town) and who got into trouble when the local paper cottoned on to his blog postings, including one where he describes the town as a shithole. I must chase this up at some point as a nice example of how blogging can get you into trouble and, for me, it has the added interest

We sometimes have problems with student attendance.Nothing new there but I was having a rant about it the other day to a colleague and here are some points from that rant (by the way I know there are sometimes good reasons why students do not attend things and I vigorously defend individuals when such circumstances arise):Poor attendance is often, though not always, symptomatic of poor engagement

How much do you think it costs to show a clip of the Simpsons?For less than five seconds and only in the background of a shot?This would be at the educational rate and so cheaper than normal.$1? $10? £25? A fantastic $100?Well, in at lest one documented instance, as noted by Lessig (2005, p96) Fox wanted to charge $10,000 for the use of a clip under five seconds in length, in the background of a

Okay here is a clip from YouTube featuring The Simpsons.Not the best quality video capture but it will suffice for our purposes.It shows an example of how one can easily link to clips on sites like YouTube (when I view the clip on YouTube they give me the HTML code I need to copy and paste into my blog page to get the video player and clip) and I’ve chosen The Simpsons because Fox (which owns the

Of course many people will be familiar with the concept of linking in images and videos from other sites(places like YouTube make it really easy) but it will be interesting to see how many of those links begin to break as they look more closely at the copyrighted stuff that is linked in.So it is easy to make a MySpace site with loads of content because you just pull it in from YouTube and

While looking at items on Forbes.com I cam across a link to some videos by Hitachi and I'm posting one in here. Partly to see what the embedded player will look like and partly because it is quite a nice little video about a small town getting high speed new access. It's a promo vid so long on nice shots and short on technical details but that info is eslewhere on the Hitachi site from which this

Although I've made it clear that I would never pretend to blog daily I've had lots of things I wanted to blog about lately but I've been so busy reading about blogging (and other Web 2.0 definers) as research for an article I'm writing that I've not had time to actually blog.Okay the odd moment here and there. Usually late at night, which is not always the wisest time to blog of course... But

Over the summer I thought that I would probably just mix in blog postings aimed at my students with this general blog but I think I'll now set up a separate blog(s). I think that it will make it easier for them to filter out the information. They can of course read this blog as well if it suits them as these are all public and linked.I later thought that I might launch them at the start of the

This afternoon I took part in a Skype Conference with various colleagues (in a nice but loose sense) and it was really quite useful. I was not the only person participating from home as our respective universities did not permit the use of Skype.Some useful exchanges of ideas and simply good to have a chat using the software and get used to its limitations. In the larger group of around 8 people

We always encounter some mature students who are not that ICT literate - easy to understand why this might be. But I am surprised every now and again by the lack of ICT knowledge amongst the stereotypical 18 or 19 year old coming into university.Just what are they teaching them in school these days? Some of the the ICT issues are what I would consider generic ICT literacy skills rather than

I'm uploading this photo in a post as it's the lazy way for me to put a photo with the profile at the top of the screen. This post will slowly disappear down the screen (and eventually off it) but the photo should still load. I don't like my most of my photos but I can cope with them.

This video clip provides a short summary of some of the issues raised during the session, gives a final demonstration of what can now be done by combining two free services (Blogger and Flixn) and tries to reassure attendees that once they have the follow up materials to the session all will finally be clear.This is good demonstration of the kind of thing I mean in the PowerPoint handout about

This clip is just under four minutes long and I use it to raise the issue of intellectual property rights; you may be happy to give away material using a service like Flixn, MySpace, or YouTube but will your institution?Other issues that need addressing are the suitability of the format. The video clips are very easy to produce but does introducing a visual element possibly detract from the

This is a short clip in which I briefly outline the key benefits of using Audacity; these being that is reliable, simple(ish) to use, and is free. All of which will appeal to hard pressed university lecturers and their institutions.Of course the video quality is not really good enough to show the required details (no where near) but this clip will serve as a useful aide memoir for me during the
