For the AOIR conference this year I submitted a proposal in the "creative or aesthetic presentation" category. The presentation is called "A Brief History of the Video Blog" and the project covers the video blog community, as represented by the Yahoo video blog group, within the context of my own experience as a video blogger. I am not a creative professional, and have never submitted research in this form before. It is mainly just my effort to combine my passion for video blogging with my work as a professor of information science in technology, whose research covers human-computer interaction, especially as it relates to web-based learning technologies. (Largely traditional quantitative research). Part of the project called for the creation of a video blog (not surprising :), and, for anyone interested, I have posted my first video and I plan to continue posting weekly until the conference. The videos will be posted here: http://richardshow.org/show/category/vloghistory Also, stuff about the project, including a link to the proposal, is located here http://richardshow.org/show/vloghistory (can also get there with vloghistory.org) ... best regards ...
