Hi all, Prompted by Paul Levinson's take on Occupy Wall Street: I would love to hear more about direct engagement with/at the campaigns on the ground from Paul and others? I heard some FANTASTIC presentations at the AoIR IR12 conference that definitely spoke indirectly to the nascent OWS actions (particularly a great session chaired by Cara Wallis) but I didn't get any chances to hear from researchers working directly with OWS activists or as activist-researchers involved in OWS now? Paul: your blog below is definitely thought-provoking but I'd really welcome hearing how/if your experiences with the movements there in NYC or elsewhere have directly shaped your theories here or are you drawing inspiration from a read of the discourses constructing OWS in popular and digital media? Maybe just an asterisk on your methodological approach here? Best and looking forward to seeing more of AoIR scholarship and action in the OWS mix.

The work should be tangibly evocative, thought provoking and content rich. Artworks can employ interactivity through digital installations, technology-enriched fashion and textiles, and interactive products and services. Art Explorations welcomes work from a wide range of practitioners in areas such as interaction design, art, or research, including submissions from students and independent practitioners. Submissions should meet the following criteria: · Relevant : The work must have a tangible aspect, in the form of an installation, object or art piece. · Technological : It must involve computational technology in some aspect of its form or function. · Aesthetic: It must have an aesthetic element in form of craftsmanship and communicate its message effectively through form, function and emotion. · Creative: It must be inventive, in its concept, technical architectural or physical form. Submissions will be selected according to the following criteria: · Concept: Conceptual quality of the work. Is the work new, appropriate, compelling? Does it provoke or intensify critical reflection? Does the work invent new technical or physical approaches to TEI? · Execution (craft): Is the work well realized? Is it built and executed to a high standard? Will it be suitable to exhibit at the TEI 2012 conference? · Aesthetics: Aesthetic quality of the work. Is the material aesthetically provocative and evocative? Does the work invoke, insight or delight the senses? Does it intensify, enchant, amuse or draw on subtle, visceral qualities of experience? · Provocative: Does the work challenge the status quo of art and design theory and practice. Submissions will be selected from a panel of expert jurors. Art Explorations can include but are not limited to: • Art installations involving tactile, sonic, kinetic, and visually rich exposition • Inventions in robotics, sensing, toys, games and entertainment • Materially or textile enriched performative or experiential interactivity • Architectural prototypes experiences and installations Submission Instructions Submissions must NOT be anonymous.

Invitation to participate in a survey from Daria Heinemann
by Daria S Heinemann 15 Oct '11

15 Oct '11

Dear colleagues, I am conducting a study about instructor opinions of student cheating behavior in higher education. I have developed an online survey that involves looking at your perceptions, as an instructor, regarding the nature and frequency of cheating behaviors as well as the reasons you think students engage in these behaviors in both online and face-to-face classrooms. It is my hope that this study will enhance our understanding of student misbehavior issues and help course designers tailor course content to reduce the opportunities for cheating. In order to participate, you must have experience teaching in a higher education institution (have taught at least one course in the past and posted final grades), and must have taught at least one course at such an institution since August 2010. First time instructors are excluded from this study. If you fit the criteria, I would like to ask for your participation by taking the survey that you will find at this link [ (Link to the Survey ]. This study is entirely voluntary, so you may withdraw at any time. Your responses will be kept confidential. There is no compensation for your participation. Typical time commitment is about 15-20 minutes (there are 32 questions to answer). If you have colleagues who may be interested in taking this survey, please share this link with them. If you have any questions, please contact me at ec9145(a)wayne.edu or via phone at 517-381-2242. I appreciate your help and thank you in advance for your time and your participation, Daria S. Heinemann (Link to the Survey or to cut and paste: https://qtrial.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_9R04eAQfIDCUu0I)

Maryland Cyber Challenge & Conference 21-22 Oct 2011
by Richard Forno 15 Oct '11

15 Oct '11

For anyone in the DC/VA/MD area next weekend who's interested, I'm co-chairing the Maryland Cyber Challenge and Conference (MDC3) on 21-22 October 2011 in Baltimore, MD. The Cyber Challenge pits high school, college, and professional teams in a series of practical cyber wargames. After two qualifyer rounds last month, we're down to 8 teams in each division that will compete in-person for the finals. First and second place student teams receive scholarship prizes provided by the NSA ($5K/$2K), and members of the winning professional teams receive cash prizes $2K/$1K). The two-day Conference covers a wide array of topics of interest to professional & general audiences alike with special sessions designed to encourage students to pursue education & careers in the scientific and technical fields....among them, quite obviously, cybersecurity. For those curious, feel free to check out www.mdc3.org for details and the program agenda. (Yes, this is why I kept ducking out of #ir12 for morning conference calls this week) -- rick --- Richard F. Forno, Ph.D. Graduate Program Director, Cybersecurity University of Maryland Baltimore County http://www.umbc.edu/cyber Co-Chair, Maryland Cyber Challenge & Conference (MDC3)

Thank you
by Tom Boellstorff 15 Oct '11

I'd like to say a quick "thank you" to all of the organizers and participants at AoIR. It was my first time attending and I had a wonderful time. I'm sending this from Princeton where I'm still at the workshop that necessitated me missing the last day of the conference; I'll look forward to hearing about everything that happened my day. I had so much fun doing my keynote and learned a lot from the great feedback I received. Thank you all - such an amazing group! All the best, Tom Boellstorff

How to record online video interviews (audio and video)?
by Janet Salmons, Ph.D. 14 Oct '11

14 Oct '11

Karin, Thanks for the shout out for Online Interviews in Real Time ;-) You mentioned Adobe Connect as one of your options. Connect has recording capability built in. It allows you to view the recording in Connect or to save the recording in other formats. >From my view, the fewer kinds of software etc.you use, the fewer opportunities for something to go wrong-- so using Connect presents less risk than Skype with another service for recording. You'll have less to worry about when you want to focus on the interview itself. If you have a conference call service you can enter it into your "audio profile" in Connect and use the phone for audio, or you can use VOIP. Connect also allows you (or the research participants) to share other documents, images or digital artifacts. If you are not using those tools you can just use the camera pods in the size you like. All of that said, you can find a number of free Skype recording tools, such as Vodburner. I'd be happy to communicate with you off-list if you have more questions: jsalmons<at>vision2lead.com.
