Prof Young provides a detailed explanation of one such scheme in this podcast from the Climate2030 seminar series.

A recent episode of a science show on the ABC concludes with Prof Young and David Paton talking about the state of the end of the line - the coorong. The entire episode is worth a download and look from the show’s vodcast site (episode 12, 2008). There is a special enhanced online viewing version of the murray darling episode here. Watch the episode, listen to podcasts like this, this and this ripper from the late Peter Cullen.

Most importantly start your own conversations, if you don’t know how - join this one by leaving comments on this blog post.

So, dear readers - where would you go:

1. To advertise open positions. (top three websites)
2. To discuss the opportunities (top three blogs/communities)

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
As soon as there are links to actual positions, I will post them here, and update you all with my findings.

Thanks

• news on nanotechnology transistors, nanoassembly machines and single photons
• Jean Claude Bradley (again), LISE08 talk on Second Life in the Chemistry Classroom (which inspired my playful discovery of some wonderful 3D molecular models from second life to a range of other sources).
• NPR Science Friday broadcast on Nanoscale Radio
• Several intro jingles from Australian podcasts interesting to the higher education sector

Roughly ten minutes of snippets from podcasts I have heard recently that might be relevant to Higher Education. My aim is to stimulate discussion around the impact of the read/write web on research and teaching & learning.

And that’s fine because I decide to ‘give away’ most of my rights to my digital content in the hope that someone will find it useful and re-use it to tell their story. No need to ask, just be polite and give me attribution (which Richard did by linking to my ‘mikeblogs‘ flickr account). That’s what:

cc:by or ‘Creative Commons - Attribution’ means.

• Sure, Richard could have made me look stupid - but I do a pretty good job of that myself.
• Sure, he could make money off that post - good luck to him, he did the hard work.
• Either way I gain more than I lose by having my work re-mixed into a new context. Had I licensed my work in a more restrictive way (say cc:by-nc-sa which means reuse must be non commercial and licensed in exactly the same way) it is unlikely that anyone would have found it, let alone re-used it.

I’m guessing here, but I suspect that Richard used the advanced search in flickr and decided only to look for images about ‘readwriteweb’ that he is free to use for commercial work, with modifications. Images licensed with more restrictions would simply not be displayed in the search results.

This is why only work that is freely licensed with continue to be relevant in future culture (but that is a rant too long for the short amount of time I have before sleep time).

Some other places you will find derivatives of my image:

We then played the audio from Graham Wegner - a pre-recorded talk from the point of view of a senior teacher & technology leader.

After shuffling cars at the morning break, Alison Kershaw posed a range
of questions from the Digital Bridge Unit, Information Economy
Directorate.

Karl Goetz shared his perspectives gained as a volunteer in a range of both online and real world technical endeavours.

Next Peter Simmonds from the Department of Education and Children’s
Services delivered a visually rich presentation with his usual flair.

First speakers were Daniel Bryant and Riana Chakravarti - two very
bright and young students who are Wikipedia admins amongst other things.

UPDATE: RSS Feed for podcasts of the day.

This post represents my view of proceedings which I attended as both a speaker (in my role as parent) and audio dude (attempting to podcast each talk before the day’s business closes). The plan is for output from the day to be collected and posted HERE and HERE either over the weekend or early next week.

Prior to the event, speaker Graham Wegner announced he could not attend the morning session and made the audio of his presentation available HERE. I listened to that audio several times before giving my presentation and found it most inspiring and informative.

The day began with Joan taking firm control of the collective and setting a tone of respectful engagement and deep listening for the morning. No, we would not be live streaming, blogging, tweeting or inviting a back-channel for the first half of the day. At first I was disappointed but that changed as we got underway.

• First speakers were Daniel Bryant and Riana Chakravarti - two very bright and young students who are Wikipedia admins amongst other things.

• We then played the audio from Graham Wegner and I responded with my talk given from the perspective of a parent of two teenage children.
• Al Upton gave the final presentation as an innovative teacher with a passion for authentic learning.

The rest of the day was spent setting goals and synthesizing the wide array of ideas offered - the output of which was scribed by a combination of electronic whiteboard and the uber-dextrous Tom Cotton.

Now I need to tidy up the remaining audio bits and put them somewhere I can share them with y’all. Just quietly - I’m stuffed.

THIS Podcast which led to a meeting with Professor Tanya Monro - Chair of Photonics and as of yesterday Federation Fellow!

UPDATE: The Photonics team was on ABC Catalyst, 4:30 video HERE.

Some of you would know that I decided to leave a very cosy career in ICT and to pursue technical opportunities in the fields of BioTech, NanoTech and Materials Science. Who would have guessed that my own home town hosts a world leading research team who work across all three of those disciplines? Who knew that local players in the Water, Mining, Defence and other industries could influence cutting edge research to their advantage? - Tanya did!

Congratulations Tanya and thanks for allowing me to stick my nose into your lab and infect your team with my crazy ideas on new media and innovation.
