Hi Wayne, I did start to do my usual. i.e. act as the advertising manager for remote OE events and do some cross pollinating between the silos. So I checked out http://www.openeducationweek.org/category/localevents/ which is pretty disheartening.
Then I noticed the twitter feed, which seems to be good (modern) way to aggregate local events. openeducationwk We've still got a problem in that many people are promoting their event without offering a link to their events site. I take it this meena from OCWC is running this account. I did a search on twitter on the hashtag and their are lots. Perhaps you might ask her to do a search on twitter and pick out the eyes (the) events in all the postings while promoting this one. You know my interest is in the development of the (inter-institutional) infrastructure, which never gets progressed because no one looks at little one off events like this and considers how, with a little collaboration, we could bring the various attendees (and viewers) together' or at least their content, and real time stuff (like webinars). I'm just going through the events I can see and looking for who is streaming. Seems the Dutch are the one and onlys. So you'll understand how frustrating it is for me, as i talk to the individual NREN media guys, who talk to their National institutions, many of which have their own collegerama. http://opencourseware.eu/OpenEducationEvent2012 Whereas what the OERu does want is one interactive global TV channel for each topic/subject/series of events. That's why your Dunedin planning meeting was so exciting for me. OK, like all these openeducationweek events, it was an ad hoc and appeared in one little time and space. But we need some way to bring them to one time and space (URL) so that we can get the new infrastructure between institutional/national networks in place, and save the duplication in talk/content and geek stuff. Slowly, slowly. Perhaps next time during an openeducationweek we can include the network managers in the talk before it starts, so we can get a spec in place. All the best, si P.S. I'll point yu at this one, so you've got some idea of how "the map" looks to these guys (from a Euro perspective). http://www.geant.net/Network/RandE/Pages/home.aspx All these "end users". Each in their little domains. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "WikiEducator" group.
