Session Title: The Design of Openness
Presenters: Jim Groom, Instructional Technology Specialist, University of Mary Washington
Shannon Hauser, Student, University of Mary Washington
Time & Date: 2:30 P.M. - 3:15 P.M., Wednesday, August 12, 2009
Location: Rm. C180
Session Description: This presentation will frame how to use open source applications to design a cheap, open and syndicated educational publishing platform. Using UMW Blogs (http://umwblogs.org) as an example, we will explore how the logic of Content Management Systems might be re-imagined along the lines of a syndication bus that helps shape the flow of information rather than locking in content to any one system or logic. The focus will be on providing a loosely-coupled infrastructure that can both deliver content easily as well as provide individual spaces for people to frame their own work and control their online presence beyond the walls of the university.
