new fee waiver policy
by Charles Ess 20 Jan '09

20 Jan '09

Dear AoIR-ists, Those of you who attended the Annual General Membership (AGM) meeting during Internet Research (IR) 9.0 last October in Copenhagen (thanks again, Lisbeth, Brian, & Co!) will remember that our stalwart Treasurer, Monica Murero, reported that AoIR had achieved a strong and stable financial state - leading us to the very important question: how do we make the best use of our available funds so as to best benefit AoIR members? I'm very pleased to announce that one of our first responses to this central concern is a new fee waiver policy. Briefly, we will fund up to three IR conference fee waivers for those who have much to contribute to an annual Internet Research conference, but whose financial situation will otherwise prevent their attending. As you can see by the policy guidelines (complete version below), these fee waivers are designed to directly expand the diversity of viewpoints, cultures, etc. represented at our IR conferences. (Long-time members of AoIR, in particular, will recognize here an effort to address a concern driving the organization since its inauguration, i.e., how to foster and collect Internet-focused research and scholarship across a genuinely global range of perspectives and cultures - in part, by encouraging participation and representation from those countries and cultures whose scholars and researchers face the most severe financial limitations?) This information will also be posted on the AoIR and IR 10.0 websites soonest. In closing, and at the risk of highlighting a U.S.-centric perspective, I cannot help but observe the happy accident that we are able to announce this policy on the day that we in the U.S. are celebrating the inauguration of a new President. What many of us in the U.S. anticipate to be a new spirit of inclusion, openness, and striving for greater equality here and abroad is clearly resonant with AoIR's modest but significant step towards greater inclusion and diversity in the form of this fee waiver. On that happy thought - happy inauguration day! - c. President, Association of Internet Researchers <www.aoir.org> Co-Editor, International Journal of Internet Research Ethics http://ijire.uwm.edu Co-chair, CATaC conferences <www.catacconference.org> Exemplary persons seek harmony, not sameness. -- Analects 13.23 ==> Fee Waiver Policy In order to increase the diversity of participation in the AoIR annual Internet Research (IR) conferences, the Association of Internet Researchers will make available up to three conference fee waivers per year. The number of fee waivers will depend first of all upon the ability of the conference budget to sustain such waivers (a judgment to be made by the AoIR Executive Committee upon the advice of the AoIR Treasurer and the local organizing committee) as well as upon the quality of the applications for fee waivers. Applications for fee waivers are invited from student or faculty authors whose paper or panel proposals have already been accepted via the AoIR IR conference reviewing process. All applications should be directed to the Vice-President of AoIR, and must be received by June 30 of the conference year. Late applications cannot be considered. Applications should be no longer than 2 pages, and must include the following information: 1) A brief description of how the author's presentation or contribution to the AoIR IR conference will uniquely articulate and/or represent a distinctive perspective (e.g., of persons and/or cultures) otherwise unlikely to be represented at the annual AoIR Internet Research conference. 2) An explanation of the author's distinctive circumstances that would warrant a fee waiver. These may include, but are by no means limited to: exceptionally limited financial resources (e.g., as a graduate student or scholar in a non-OECD country, as a disabled person on a limited income, etc.); exceptional limits on institutional support otherwise normally available (e.g., travel funds, grant funds, etc.); other exceptional circumstances that render the usual AoIR IR conference fees an insurmountable obstacle to attending the IR conference in order to present one's own work. Applicants may also include a letter of support from someone familiar with her / his circumstances, special needs, etc. Such a letter is optional, however, not a requirement. Applications will be reviewed by the AoIR Executive Committee. Fee waivers will be awarded on the basis of the Executive Committee's collective judgment as to which presentations will make the most distinctive contribution to the AoIR IR conference. In order to respect and protect the privacy of the applicants, all Executive Committee discussions and deliberations of fee waiver applications will be held in strict confidence. The AoIR Executive Committee regretfully acknowledges that there will be more fully meritorious applications than we will be able to award and support. Nonetheless we hope that awarded fee waivers will not only assist deserving scholars and researchers, but also thereby enrich the AoIR IR conferences in important new ways. Approved by the AoIR Executive Committee, 20 November 2008

Submission deadline for IR 10.0 extended, plus author info
by Susanna Paasonen 20 Jan '09

20 Jan '09

Dear all, We are working hard on setting up the new OCS conference system for the forthcoming IR 10.0 Internet:Critical conference in Milwaukee but will not be able to launch it until January 26 (which will be the earliest date to submit a proposal). Due to this, the CFP deadline will be extended until February 16 (which again means that notifications of acceptance will arrive end of March). I do realize that this long a wait with the submissions can be frustrating but we want to be sure that everything really works before the launch. We do appreciate your patience. Please note that in order to submit a proposal, one will need to create an account with the OCS conference system since old logins and passwords will not be carried over. Guidelines on how to do this will be available once the system is up and running (and linked through the conference web site, http://ir10.aoir.org/) Meanwhile, I'm attaching below the guidelines for submitting papers, panels, and roundtables to help with the preparations. In case you have any further questions or queries concerning these, or conference submissions in general, please do not hesitate to contact me. with best regards, Susanna Author guidelines: * PAPERS (individual or multi-author) - submit abstract of 600-800 words The abstract should indicate your methodological and theoretical framework * FULL PAPERS (OPTIONAL): For submitters requiring peer review of full papers, manuscripts of up to 8,000 words will be accepted for review. These will be reviewed and judged separately from abstract submissions Please be sure that all identifying information is removed from the paper as well as its metadata Papers need to be in either ".doc" or ".pdf" format only (NOT ".docx") * PANEL PROPOSALS - submit a 600-800 word description of the panel theme, plus 250-500 word abstract for each paper or presentation Please be sure to remove names of individual panel presenters in the body of the proposal, to ensure blind peer review * ROUNDTABLE PROPOSALS - submit a statement indicating the nature of the roundtable discussion and interaction Please be sure to remove names of individual roundtable participants in the body of the proposal, to ensure blind peer review Papers, presentations and panels will be selected from the submitted proposals on the basis of multiple blind peer review, coordinated and overseen by the Program Chair. Each individual is invited to submit a proposal for 1 paper or 1 presentation. A person may also propose a panel session, which may include a second paper that they are presenting. An individual may also submit a roundtable proposal. You may be listed as co-author on additional papers as long as you are not presenting them. Full papers should not exceed 8,000 words in length. If your word-processor is capable of doing a word count please use it to print this at the end of the text, together with the date of the manuscript. Notes should be kept to a minimum and placed at the end of the article before the references; footnotes should be avoided. Illustrations: Tables, figures and plates should not be inserted within the pages of the manuscript but should be submitted on separate pages attached to the article. References: please use the reference/format system most appropriate for your discipline (APA, MLA, Harvard, Chicago, etc.) Susanna Paasonen Helsinki Collegium for Advanced Studies Program Chair / IR 10.0

MUVEs in Teaching and Learning - Online discussion event begins 25th Jan
by Helen Keegan 20 Jan '09

20 Jan '09

*apologies for cross-posting* The EXTEND project team, funded by JISC-EMERGE Benefits and Realisation, are hosting a series of online asynchronous discussions based around Learning Technologies. With contributions, videos and podcasts from JISC-EMERGE-funded projects HABITAT and MOOSE, the event will run from Sunday 25 Jan - Sunday 8 Feb 2009 and will focus on Multi-User Virtual Environments in Teaching and Learning. Some topics and questions include: · Can learning activities designed for 3D MUVEs be transferable to different contexts, disciplines or levels of education? · What does the term 'collaboration' mean relative to MUVEs? · Does the social nature of 3D MUVEs alter the tutor-student-tutor relationship? · What do MUVEs provide in terms of socialising/informal-learning that other platforms do not? · How relevant is 'play' and 'creativity' outside of the arts? Will non arts subjects ever accept MUVEs as a playful space within their teaching? · Are skills from more established technologies transferable into emerging technologies like 3D MUVEs? The event will be hosted on the HELP (Higher Education Learning Professionals) network, which you can join by visiting http://tiny.cc/IunFI - this will take you to a login page where you can create an account in 2 easy steps and enter the discussion. Please do join us for a lively and thought-provoking event!

YouTube: The Reference Tool
by McKiernan, Gerard [LIB] 20 Jan '09

20 Jan '09

Colleagues/ Seems Obvious To Me ... /Gerry New York Times / January 18, 2009 / Ping At First, Funny Videos. Now, a Reference Tool / By MIGUEL HELFT FACED with writing a school report on an Australian animal, Tyler Kennedy began where many students begin these days: by searching the Internet. But Tyler didn't use Google or Yahoo. He searched for information about the platypus on YouTube. "I found some videos that gave me pretty good information about how it mates, how it survives, what it eats," Tyler said. Similarly, when Tyler gets stuck on one of his favorite games on the Wii, he searches YouTube for tips on how to move forward. [snip] While he favors YouTube for searches, he said he also turns to Google from time to time. Tyler's way of experiencing the Web - primarily through video - may not be mainstream, at least not yet. But his use of YouTube as his favorite search engine underscores a shift that is much broader than the quirky habits of children. The explosion of all types of video content on YouTube and other sites is quickly transforming online video from a medium strictly for entertainment and news into one that is also a reference tool. As a result, video search, on YouTube and across other sites, is rapidly morphing into a new entry point into the Web, one that could rival mainstream search for many types of queries.

CfP: Digital Cities 6: Concepts, Methods and Systems of Urban Informatics
by Marcus Foth 20 Jan '09

20 Jan '09

Digital Cities 6: Concepts, Methods and Systems of Urban Informatics Workshop at the 4th International Conference on Communities and Technologies Penn State, USA, 24 June 2009 April 16th, 2009 Workshop position papers due May 18th, 2009 Author notifications sent June 24th, 2009 Workshop 1 Theme http://cct2009.ist.psu.edu/workshops.cfm 2 Topics Relevant workshop topics include but are not limited to the following: • Civic and community engagement strategies to support urban planning • Public sphere, participation and online deliberation systems • Urban e-government, e-governance, e-participation, e-democracy approaches • u-City: Ubiquitous computing, pervasive technology, wireless internet and mobile applications • Locative media, navigation and space • Urban informatics design and development methods and epistemologies • Multi-format user-generated content (narratives, photos, videos, multimedia) • Neogeography and 3D virtual environments for urban design and planning • Simulations to reproduce and analyse complex social phenomena and city systems • Social networking, collective intelligence and crowd sourcing in the urban context • Environmental, economic and social sustainability • Citizen science • Access, trust, privacy, safety and surveillance • Implications for residential architecture and the design of cities and public spaces • Ethical considerations scrutinizing the assumptions behind urban informatics 3 Organisation and Submission Details This is a full day workshop. We will start off with a keynote address by an eminent speaker. Rather than formal conference-style paper presentations, we will follow the successful peer interview format and ask each participant to interview another contributing author. Pairs will be assigned in advance to prepare questions and engage with the paper. After lunch, there will be a range of group activities and a closing plenary discussion at the end. The workshop can accommodate a maximum number of between 25 to 30 participants including presenters in order to provide an environment that is conducive to debate and interaction. We are interested in three types of contributions: Concepts: Essay style papers discussing theoretical and conceptual ideas and innovation within a cross-disciplinary framework. Methods: Papers reporting on novel approaches in the area of urban informatics, e.g. network action research, shared visual ethnography, urban probes, cross-disciplinary methods, etc. Systems: Reports of systems and case studies that ground findings in practice and experience. Prospective participants are asked to submit a position paper (2-4 pages total, in English, ACM SIGCHI 2-column format, same as for the C&T full papers) related to one of the workshop topics. Each submission should also include a short biography stating the author’s background and motivation for attending the workshop. Workshop position papers are due on April 16th, 2009 and will be reviewed and selected by the organisers with the support from an international program committee. Accepted authors will be notified by May 18th, 2009 – to leave enough time to qualify for the early bird conference registration. The acceptance of a workshop position paper implies that at least one of the authors will register for both the workshop and the Communities & Technologies 2009 conference. The workshop takes place on June 24th, 2009. After the workshop, selected contributors are invited to submit a full paper by October 1st, 2009. Full papers will undergo double blind peer review before being published. Arrangements for an edited book or a special issue of a relevant international journal are currently underway. 4 Bibliography Each Digital Cities workshop has produced an edited volume containing selected workshop papers and other invited contributions as follows: Digital Cities 5 -- Foth, M.
