Communities and Technology Conference
Karen Baker and presented our paper, Modes of Social Science Engagement, at the Communities and Technology Conference (C&T2007 – June 28-30).
We also attended the attached workshop on Geof Bowker’s concept of ‘Memory Practices’.
Finally, and most surprisingly, I was asked to be a (fill-in) panelist for the ‘Enabling Communities in Cyberinfrastructure’ keynote. In a hastily prepared, but stellar, presentation I talked about sustainability, stability and maintenance work.
Open Educational Resources Initiative Meeting
Visited lovely Half-Moon Bay for a workshop informing the Hewlett foundation on their future funding strategy for the Open Educational Resources Program (see Hewlett OER – Atkins, Seely Brown, Hammond Report).
The question was how to develop what they call an Open Participatory Learning Infrastructure. Geof Bowker and I then wrote a report on this workshop.
