[9:17] Rikki Ninetails: Okay, fixed. [9:17] :: : Media Moonsoo: welcome Kate! [9:18] :: : Katie Sismondi: HI [9:18] :: : Katie Sismondi: Is this the overflow area for the conference? [9:18] :: : Shelby Oceanlane: yes [9:18] :: : Katie Sismondi: great thanks [9:19] Jamer Jarman: iml=Instructional Materials Laboratory??? [9:19] Laing Aeon: institute for multimedia literacy [9:20] Thursday Xu: Do any of you plan to talk about sustainability of multimedia? [9:20] Laing Aeon: That's a bit issue, for sure [9:20] Corwin Carillon: http://iml.usc.edu/ [9:20] Laing Aeon: Both in terms of programs and in terms of courses, projects and so on [9:21] Laing Aeon: For us, an array of new tools, many free, is really helping us. [9:21] Laing Aeon: Sophie was developed by the Institue for the Future of the Book [9:21] Laing Aeon: It's currently being rewritten as a Java app, to be released in May [9:22] Laing Aeon: It allows the "easy" melding of text, images, sound and video in media-rich "books" [9:25] just Urriah: where are the slides [9:25] Spiral Theas: Up above on the cube. [9:26] Ninmah Ash: THe slides are showing on a floating box above the speaker [9:26] Thursday Xu: just above the speakers [9:26] Sashah Amat: they rez very slowly for me [9:26] just Urriah: The names are covering everything [9:27] Sashah Amat: could please have the slides on longer? [9:27] just Urriah: I am looking for that option [9:27] Laing Aeon: we're sorry - this is the last one. [9:27] Laing Aeon: we'll post them afterwards! [9:27] June Lightstone: is this showing on the overhead in this stadium? [9:27] Sashah Amat: thank you! [9:27] just Urriah: great [9:27] Ninmah Ash: the slides should be linked from the program page on the web [9:28] Chimera Cosmos: thanks! [9:28] just Urriah: I see the sound icon but no box to click on. [9:29] Ayla Quinnell: are these slides on the same presentation sent during the first presentation? [9:29] Laing Aeon: no - [9:29] Laing Aeon: we didn't anticipate this problem! [9:29] Laing Aeon: I'll add them a while after the presentation this morning. [9:29] Ayla Quinnell: thanks! [9:29] Laing Aeon: sure [9:30] :: : Muttidok Muircastle: Hi, I'm looking for the USC presentation [9:30] Laing Aeon: it's here! [9:30] June Lightstone: the slide show link on the web is not what she i s talking about [9:30] Laing Aeon: welcome [9:30] Jackie Rexen: Are there a link to all of these sites somewhere? [9:30] Laing Aeon: no - the slideshow link is about the overarching programs, Multimedia in the Core and Multimedia Across the College [9:30] :: : CJ Carnot: click the video play button at the bottom of the screen [9:30] :: : Stella Costello: HI Muttidok! If you press play on your video button, it is on the screen in front of yo [9:30] Laing Aeon: But we'll add the specific course images offered by Danielle soon [9:31] Corwin Carillon: thanks Laing [9:31] :: : Muttidok Muircastle: Thanks! [9:31] Hawker Supermarine: the sound seems to have bypassed my headset - anyone know why that happens? In other words, I am no longer controlling the audio from my local computer. Volume can only be controlled via the SL slider. Weird [9:31] Jackie Rexen: I mean surls to all of these builds [9:31] Laing Aeon: building an archive of student media-rich projects [9:31] Ninmah Ash: we will request SLURLs, as well as these slides, and post them on the web program if that works for the speakers [9:32] Corwin Carillon: type in IML in the map .. 4 or so sims [9:32] Chimera Cosmos: are they open Corwin? [9:32] Hawker Supermarine: i just hope my mike isn't live too [9:32] Corwin Carillon: or maybe 2 [9:32] Corwin Carillon: certainly were a while back [9:32] Jackie Rexen: I visited SL IML yesterday - a pretty amazing site -will you be adding these areas? [9:33] Laing Aeon: We focus on visual argumentation in the lab, as well as appropriate research protocols [9:33] Chimera Cosmos: Question: are these faculty considering adding a Second Life component to their courses? They all seem to be new in SL. [9:33] Laing Aeon: These three faculty members are all new to SL [9:34] Laing Aeon: But they've all found the experience of preparing to present in SL pretty intriguing [9:34] Laing Aeon: If I can speak for them! [9:35] Chimera Cosmos: great! Thanks Laing [9:35] Laing Aeon: A hurdle in both of these programs is helping faculty members gain comfort using and assessing media [9:35] Chimera Cosmos: yes--that's my interest too [9:36] Laing Aeon: Student investment in the projects is surprizingly high [9:37] Corwin Carillon: do you have students produce the rubrics? [9:37] Laing Aeon: hey, good idea [9:37] Laing Aeon: that would work really well. [9:37] CDB Barkley: as hosts ;-) [9:38] Laing Aeon: I will say that another challenge we face is convincing the admin that we're doing "real" work, and not simply making pretty projects so the official rubric shows that we've thought these things through... [9:38] Corwin Carillon: have used this before and after a task ,,,. also got them to rewirite my rubric after seeing their peers work (and then the next time ge them to do it from the get go) [9:38] Laing Aeon: we'll try that... [9:38] Chimera Cosmos: yes-you have to educate the admins along with the faculty-not so easy! [9:38] Laing Aeon: exactly [9:39] CDB Barkley: /no grades for admins ;-) [9:39] Laing Aeon: we should change that too, huh? [9:39] Corwin Carillon: hehe [9:39] June Lightstone: the phrases on our campus are "watering down" and "not scholarly" [9:40] Seahorne Jewell: design, argumentation, digital, research, network [9:40] Seahorne Jewell: those are the 5 foundational literacies [9:41] Jamer Jarman: surfzilla, I would say the the tool makes it different - different competencies engaged in the students [9:41] Seahorne Jewell: for the ANTH class, documentary isjust one thing they learn [9:41] Corwin Carillon: ty! [9:41] Lyr Lobo grins [9:42] Seahorne Jewell: yes [9:42] Seahorne Jewell: exactly [9:42] Lyr Lobo: right click the chair and select sit from the pie menu [9:42] Corwin Carillon: right/cmd click and choose sit here [9:42] Chimera Cosmos: the eternal "how do I sit?" question haha [9:42] Lyr Lobo: welcome *smiles* [9:42] Chimera Cosmos: we have all been there [9:42] Lyr Lobo grins [9:43] CDB Barkley knows hw to sit like a good dog [9:43] Chimera Cosmos: woof [9:43] Seahorne Jewell: yes, students engage with the material differently [9:43] Lyr Lobo: yes [9:43] Corwin Carillon: knows how to sit like a raccon [9:43] Corwin Carillon: racoon even [9:43] Laing Aeon: Alan, we're running a bit behind - is that okay? [9:43] Chimera Cosmos can choose HOW to sit--that's progress! lol [9:43] Rikki Ninetails pets CDB. "Good boy, good boy." [9:44] Seahorne Jewell: faculty have found students more invested in the course material [9:44] Laing Aeon: Lynn's class is part of the Multimedia Across the College [9:44] Laing Aeon: it does not have the full 2-unit attached lab [9:45] Seahorne Jewell: one exercise we use in Nancy's class is students watch a film for the course [9:45] Sarracenia Lupindo: what kind of data is there to support the "more invested" comment? [9:45] Seahorne Jewell: and typicallythey would just write a film analysis paper [9:45] Laing Aeon: course questionnaires [9:45] Seahorne Jewell: but we have them do editing exercises withthe footage of the video [9:45] Sarracenia Lupindo: excellent. thanks. [9:45] Laing Aeon: as well as anecdotal reports from faculty report that greater investment [9:45] Seahorne Jewell: and this really helps students understand the position of the filmmaker as author [9:46] Corwin Carillon: every student needs these competencies as a 21c literacy [9:46] Seahorne Jewell: yes [9:46] Laing Aeon: "A Global Imperative" report is our bible! [9:47] Corwin Carillon: the position of the filmaker I mean .. media/film directorship literacy [9:47] Laing Aeon: http://www.nmc.org/publications/global-imperative [9:47] Seahorne Jewell: absoutely [9:48] Thursday Xu: i wish we could bring sketchup builds into SL! [9:49] Lyr Lobo: yes [9:49] Corwin Carillon: you can do this with some oss virtual worlds ... we will get there [9:49] Laing Aeon: to some extent, Lynn talks about the significance of making an "archeological argument" [9:49] Thursday Xu: :) [9:49] Laing Aeon: the relationship between design choices and research [9:50] Chimera Cosmos: yes--like in Tab Scott's work on urban design [9:50] Chimera Cosmos: with students [9:50] Thursday Xu: Are these builds available to the public? [9:50] Corwin Carillon: design choices and research ... design choices and power (from yesterday) ... student choices <-> student agency [9:51] Chimera Cosmos: yes--or any courses--very important [9:51] Corwin Carillon: maybe in virtual worlds we should talk about student agency rather than engagement [9:51] Laing Aeon: agency versus engagement - yes, that's a great point [9:51] Thursday Xu: good points CC [9:52] Ayla Quinnell: do any of the students complain about sharing their work with the public? [9:52] Jackie Rexen: Love the idea of durability of their work - having an audience is a great motivator! [9:52] Laing Aeon: I can't speak for Lynn's students, but that's something that we address overtly [9:52] Laing Aeon: students can choose to make their work public or not, and they can set time limits for that exposure [9:52] Jamer Jarman: laing, how do you address it? [9:53] Jackie Rexen: I think we need to understand the digital natives who are growing up with a desire/need to show who they are [9:53] Laing Aeon: We're aware of FERPA, and we're aware that students should have control over their exposure online. [9:53] Laing Aeon: We discuss these issues, and any presentation of work online is preceded by a signed agreement [9:53] Chimera Cosmos looks around for the other CC... [9:53] Jamer Jarman: thanks [9:53] Sarracenia Lupindo: Are the 5-8 steps described anywhere on line? I would love to see how you break this out. [9:55] :: : Stella Costello: PDF of slides is up at http://www.nmc.org/files/integrating-multimedia.pdf [9:55] Thursday Xu: great way to get a more pesronal perspective [9:56] Larry Pixel claps wildly !!! [9:56] Lyr Lobo claps [9:56] Kin2002 Amaterasu: Thanks a lot [9:56] Caspar Lefevre: /clap [9:56] Caspar Lefevre: clap [9:56] Lyr Lobo: thank you... excellent! [9:56] Corwin Carillon: /claps [9:56] Thursday Xu: thanks for sharing! [9:56] Caspar Lefevre: applause [9:57] Jackie Rexen: Can't you just use qualitative feedback? [9:58] Laing Aeon: The project grades are not published online [9:58] Laing Aeon: Instead, projects are discussed in class [9:58] Laing Aeon: exactly [9:59] Jackie Rexen: I tend to just show exemplary work (in regular classroom) - why do you show less quality work? [9:59] Chimera Cosmos: yes, students really appreciate calibration [9:59] Spiral Theas: Question: I'd be interested to hear more about the USC students' response to the MM workshops distributed across the curriculum and how you expect them to evolve. [10:00] Spiral Theas: Thinc book has a press too. [10:01] Corwin Carillon: and Intellibook and you can hyprelink each page [10:02] Larry Pixel claps wildly !!! [10:02] Larry Pixel claps wildly !!! [10:02] Corwin Carillon: fantastic presentation all of you!! WHOOT! [10:02] Caspar Lefevre: applause [10:02] Chimera Cosmos: yay yay! [10:02] Thursday Xu: woohoo - thanks [10:02] Spiral Theas: Wonderful! [10:02] Caspar Lefevre: hakushu [10:02] Corwin Howlett: Just a note during the break. Due to the # of avatars here, if you log off during break you may not be able to come back at this location. If you log off and find this location full, you can find the slurl for the overflow location in the email you received this morning. [10:03] Spiral Theas: : I'd be interested to hear more about the USC students' response to the MM workshops distributed across the curriculum and how you expect them to evolve. [10:03] Larry Pixel claps wildly !!! [10:03] Corwin Howlett: Might be easiest to leave your avatar here while you get your coffee. [10:03] Corwin Carillon: /claps [10:04] Laing Aeon: thanks [10:04] Jackie Rexen: I LOVE the work you are doing at IML - worth the price of admission to this conference! [10:04] Laing Aeon: thanks so much!
