Session Title: No Digital Facelifts: Thinking the Unthinkable About Open Educational Experiences
Presenters: Gardner Campbell, Baylor University
Jim Groom, Instructional Technology Specialist, University of Mary Washington
Time & Date: 2:30 P.M. - 3:15 P.M., Thursday, August 13, 2009
Location: Rm. C180
Session Description: This session explores an insanely ambitious idea: that undergraduates should be sysadmins of their own personal cyberinfrastructures built out of cloud apps integrated with simple-to-install scripts in a hosted web space and domains of their own. The design, uses, and maintenance of this cyberinfrastructure would be the topics of an interdisciplinary and across-the curriculum integrative experience aimed at writing, speaking, media, and information fluencies.

Nice conference on putting people at ease concerning advancing computing technology and its use. Ironic and quite irritating that after hearing all this talk of systems admins and computing, questions and answers can’t be heard during the Q&A, because for this video documentation there was only ONE microphone available rather than a SOUND SYSTEM. Dumb.

Dear Arif,
Could you please give me a link to a conference that provides a better online experience than this one? A conference that costs $300 or less, provided live streaming of every session, high quality downloads afterwards, a collaborative environments for remote participants to contribute in and presentations as challenging and as thought provoking as as the one above. Oh and that also has a built in sound system in every room.
I would be very interested in attending that one virtually. If you don’t know of one then would it not be better to show the organizers of this amazing conference some appreciation for just how fantastic everything was?
Dear Andre,
You’re absolutely right. It was a fantastic conference. I came on too strongly. It was simply frustrating not being able to hear some of the Q&A section, which was just as important as the first portion. Because they only had one mic with their system, it should have been passed around to each speaker before he/she spoke.
