F.U.N. Fare - UnWorkshop on Computer Mediated Communications Tools for Distributed Social Learning Networks

-00-00

As his graduation gesture, Vance Stevens would like to invite all interested Webcast Academicians, Webheads, Worldbridgers, and anyone at all to drop in whenever and for how long is convenient on a 2.5 hour unWorkshop being held Saturday Sept 1, (06:00 to 08:30 GMT) physically in Alexandria, Egypt.  Jose Rodriguez has kindly offered to provide a backup stream.

From the information given at http://www.vancestevens.com/papers/index.html#next

The two convergent communities of practice Webheads in Action and Worldbridges are constantly exploring new computer-mediated communications (CMC) tools for percolating knowledge through their overlapping distributed learning networks, many of which take on many properties of social networking. Members of those communities will be invited to join us online, and the (un)workshop will take place informally, without fixed agenda, in response to the direction suggested by the online participants and those present in Alexandria. Among the spaces we can explore (more to be added as they occur to me) are:

  • The Webheads in Action and Worldbridges Drupal portals
    Find us in the chat room here: http://webcastacademy.net/chat (because we'll be streaming)
  • Skype, with a demonstration of webcasting through Worldbridges Webcast Academy
    Find Vance on Skype ID vancestev; stream at http://www.webcastacademy.net/listen
  • Tours of Edunation and Boracay in Second Life
    Offer friendship to Webhead Link and request teleport
