After #smwcph I pitched an article to the Copenhagen Post – published here on 26 February. They made a few changes to minimise snark and tabloidise it a bit – interesting to be edited rather than to edit. My original copy is below. I’m very shy about pimping my stuff, but thanks to the CPH Post [...]
Lots of MOOCs going at the moment. A tale of two MOOCs compares Coursera’s EDC with FOE (since fallen over). EDC (from Edinburgh, I’m so proud) is going down well all round for its learning style, while FOE got a nod for useful content. Sheila MacNeill compares EDC with OLDS MOOC, with the former sounding like a [...]
I have a librarian’s tidy mind and a tendency to see a need for information management everywhere. In event amplification, in particular for large conferences, the organisers’ enthusiasm often runs away with them leading to a deflated post-event balloon and a lack of legacy. Looking at MOOCs, the spectrum ranges from boring interfaces with a relentless [...]
More updates: 21 Mar: #longform on WordPress.com, highlighting suitable themes, followed up with some longposts…13 Mar: Danish journalist Line Holm Nielsen won a prize for championing #longform, although paraphrasing one tweeter “woman publishes book online, what’s the big deal?” See also the long (obs) article on designing for longform…2 Feb: Oliver Burkeman on longform – “we [...]
My first MOOC has turned out to be not quite as expected – see #sna posts over on my CPD blog – but at least that means I’ve a smidgen of time for my second MOOC. Introduction to infographics and data visualisation (needs a #) is hosted by the Knight Center for Journalism in the [...]
Over a year ago I wrote Video video, a post about my uneasy relationship with video. I’ve been watching loads lately, mainly for the MOOCs I’ve registered for, and I’m coming to the conclusion that often ‘just’ one medium is not enough. Two examples of what I mean…for me, the video experience at events works better [...]
I’ve joined the MOOC (and blogging about it) bandwagon and have signed up for Lada Adamic’s social network analysis course on Coursera, which started on 24 September. I attended an online course on community engagement in May, but this is rather more serious. I’m blogging about the content on my CPD blog – this post looks [...]
After yesterday’s foray into #london2012 in Denmark I’m now exploring #oldk, the local hashtag. First up, trying out two promising new aggregation tools, which automatically pull together tweets, photos, check-ins… Epilogger lets you set up your event straight away. It’s clearly constrained by Twitter’s 1500 search limit, but all the same we’ve already got 1526 [...]
Yorkshire and the North West are joint 11th on the fantasy medal table this morning, and back in the real world Denmark is doing pretty well too at 16th (above Sweden)*. Time for a quick look at Danish equivalents of some of the media I follow. Politiken is the national Guardian-a-like, although the whole paper [...]
