South West Music Awards #unexpected St Thomas
Another mix of photos, getting closer to St Thomas Station and the South West Music Awards tomorrow.
Still based on photos from the Unexpected phase of images / advertising.
Web timeline / Collaboration tweet from Towards Maturity
Couple of quick items
Towards Maturity tweeted yesterday that there is more collaboration in HE / FE than in most companies they survey. ow.ly/qH8Tz for full report ( my guess was that universities might be still doing more formal learning methods ) @towardsmaturity
Here is a graphic based on paste-up from the Web Science course PDF, Still week one.
South West Music Awards #13swma Graphics and collage
I have done another Photoshop number in the series from Exeter Art Everywhere and Theo Simpson. This sort of started with the City Centre ideas. You can walk around the city and find all sorts of graphics. they can be mixed up later or different images can be pasted. If you have the advertising budget.
Given that the resource for the South West Music Awards is limited, suggest more cut and paste over the next few days and weeks. It may get some links.
If this works at all there could be more around the Phonic FM benefits. A #tag , some YouTube links/playlist from previously, and a selection of localised graphics.
Probably more next week when I have collected some new content at the actual event.
Web Science, Futurelearn, the Design Science DJ again
This week is the start of the Web Science course on Futurelearn. I think the University of Southampton id fully engaged with this. (The branding seems to be mostly Wolff Olins, not sure what UEA thinks about it) . The Wild Show is mostly concerned with the South West Music Awards for the show on Thursday but we may come back to Design Science in later weeks.
Just to catch up, I found a video on YouTube about the rise of the Science DJ around the time I heard about Design Science. So I thought there could be a Design Science DJ and started to talk to JD about it on Phonic FM. So far we can't get past the idea that what a DJ is doing can be science. He thinks it is an art. Which is not the original point anyway. But at least we link to something on the radio. 106.8 Thursday 10-12.
Couple of references, Design Science relates to management and e-learning so could link them in practice.

So what is Web Science? Seems to include some sociology and study of organisation. Also interested in practical results. This is only week one so more later.
The course is based on a topic each week. There is a Google Group and I guess some discussion will be available somewhere even if you don't register for the course.
2. Networks
3. Crime , security
4. Democracy
5. Business, Big Data
6. Future
Meanwhile the Networked Learning Conference has had a Hotseat to consider the contribution to e-learning from business but I don't think it changed much in academic views. Check out forthcoming Routledge books from Neil Selwyn for an introduction to the approach.
Topics this week include technology determinism. Just to be contrary I think technology as such can be determining given enough time. There is delay and resistance given various social situations but technology spreads eventually. So VHS for ballet took a while.
I recently tweeted to Towards Maturity -
Their recent tweet is about research into how e-learning is used in organisations. My question is how this compares with universities. They have retweeted but no info so far .
Maybe there will be some talk around Web Science at Learning Technologies.
Cindy ( Folk Mix ) revived links #13swma
Ahead of next week here is another post about Cindy ( Folk Mix ) . I think we will get something for DJ Buttons that can be edited ok. I may have to ask the Storyteller to do quite a lot of linking narrative. Having listened again to last week's show I'm not sure Fred Previous has as much time available as I expected. We may not be able to make a gap in the South West Music awards so we can shoot some video for another project.
I may get a chance to talk to a folk group that could fit with this. Also maybe a slightly dodgy manager from Bristol. Assuming there is momentum to shift the awards to Bristol next year there must be a few people there next Friday. Fred agreed to play the part over the summer but he seems to be running out of time at the moment.
Script outline in previous blog post.
