Hi all, I looking for around 4/5 people to participate in a roundtable discussion on the future of the course management system (CMS, LMS, VLE). I'd envisage a discussion which covered topics such as: - impact of current CMS design on pedagogy - comparison of benefits of CMS and widely available social networking, creation and publication tools, - advantages/disadvantages of open source alternatives to Blackboard etc - personal learning environments - learning management platforms - individualised learning portals. Please reply privately if you are interested.

I am proposing a panel for IR.11 titled "You Tube and entertainment industry". This panel will explore the relations between entertainment (music industry, film industry and so on) and some uses of YT by its users such as spoofs, music videos and its broader implications for economy, media and online life in general. If interested in joining this panel, please email me (adriamaral@yahoo.com) a 250-500 word abstract, and a brief biography, by February 18. Dra.

Hi all, here is another last minute opportunity to join forces in proposing an interesting panel for IR.11: I am coordinating a panel titled "Fantasy and the Net" that will look into how fantasy (as an imaginative impulse as well as a transmedial genre of popular culture) is being reframed and reinterpreted in online games and other forms of participation in the Internet. The collaborative forms of fantasy fandom, organizational practices of online fantasy game guilds, as well as the creative potentials of online media for producing and sharing fantasy art are only some of the possible topics this panel can address. Hopefully we can contribute towards building some kind of overview of what "online fantasy" actually means today. If you are interested, please send me (frans.mayra@uta.fi) a brief abstract (250-500 words is fine) and your short bio/cv, by the Friday 18th February internal deadline. Looking forward to discussing fantasy in Gothenburg; - frans - -- | Frans Mäyrä, PhD * Professor of Digital Culture & Game Studies | Department of Information Studies & Interactive Media /// | Games Research Lab * University of Tampere * Finland ///// | www.uta.fi/laitokset/infim/ * http://gamelab.uta.fi ////// | frans.mayra@uta.fi *gsm +358503367650 *fax +358335517503 /// | www.unet.fi/fransblog **** www.uta.fi/~frans.mayra /////////
Hi all, Considering the recent extension of conference deadline, also the internal deadline for the Fantasy and the Net panel abstracts moves forward, to new internal deadline: Thursday, 25th February. Hopefully this will help a bit all those of you who consider participating in the session. Cheers; - Frans On 15.2.2010 15:23, Frans Mäyrä wrote:
