« Previous EntriesThe Monetization Question
Monday, April 13th, 2009Thanks to Cromarty, who neatly picked me up for avoiding the monetization issue in digital publishing in my previous post (thought I’d got away with that!).
I think the danger is to think that there will be one solution to the great question of how to make money out of selling digital creative content - just […]
Church as a Web 2.0 Model
Wednesday, October 1st, 2008In the beginning there was a thought….
…and the thought was thus:
“Church is a community, not a physical place: the Internet is a community, not a physical place”
Within my local church community the vicars have been fighting a battle to change the way we use language when referring to church - emphasising the difference between “church” […]
“LiveGuide: An Online Guided Tour” Goes Live
Thursday, September 4th, 2008
After many months of development, I am pleased to announce that my latest project - “LiveGuide” - is finally online.
LiveGuide is a new design of online tour, intended to more closely mimic the features of a real world guided tour of a location thank traditional virtual tours. In particular, LiveGuide focusses on the narrative and […]
NLab Social Networks Conference - The Opening
Monday, July 7th, 2008Well, it has taken a little longer than I anticipated to formulate my account of the recent NLab Social Networks conference, held at DMU on 19th June, following the IOCT Salon. However, I have finally made sense of all of my notes! So, without further ado, as they say….
The Opening Address
Professor David Asch opened the […]
IOCT Salon - 18th June 2008
Tuesday, June 24th, 2008
The recent IOCT Salon was a great opportunity for students from the Online MA in Creative Writing & New Media to show case their most recent work. It featured inspirational performances from Chris Meade and Christine Wilks, fascinating talks from Toni Le Busque, Claudia Cragg and Alison Norrington – and a bit of waffling […]
Moving On From Manvers Street
Monday, May 5th, 2008I have recently launched my digital documentary Moving On From Manvers Street as part of my ongoing studies in New Media writing at DMU. The trailer is very tongue in cheek, but that is characteristic of the tone of the whole piece.
The documentary focuses on using Web 2.0 principles to present the story of the […]
The Wikipedia Worry
Saturday, February 23rd, 2008I was really encouraged to read this blog post some weeks ago, calling for students to be permitted to use Wikipedia as a research source.
I am often faced with students, from GCSE to degree level, who come to me for support and sit aghast as I pull up a browser window and check Wikipedia for a good definition. […]
Blogging an Event
Friday, November 16th, 2007The experience of participating in an event, whilst drafting a blog post about it, was an interesting one. In many ways, I wish I had done it at some of the various events I have attended over the last year of studying New Media as well, but in other ways I found it a difficult […]
The Day After the Storm
Sunday, November 4th, 2007Sunday has been a far more informal and relaxed, with only four of us plus Sue in physical attendance. We started out testing the technology for our Skype call to Toni, which created some interesting feedback and sound effects as we all logged in to Skype and had a conference call whilst being in the […]
Skills Exchange
Sunday, November 4th, 2007The main skill everyone really wanted to have a grounding in (however basic) was the use of Flash. Christine really inspired this with her talk about her work and the demonstrations she gave. The skills exchange really focused on this, with us all coming up close for a chat through what flash can do and […]
