<title>Discussion</title>
<description><![CDATA[
	Senior figures in the science and policy community have summoned &#39;culture&#39; to support action on climate change. Some view the arts and humanities as a kind of communications finishing school for the outputs of the climate change research and policy community - a cultural lubricant that might fix public and political apathy or opposition. To which some have replied &#39;be careful what you wish for&#39;. The workshop will explore some of the questions, dilemmas and direct challenges that can be posed by artistic work on climate change.]]></description>

<title>Mediating Change workshop - How social media is transforming the communication of, and engagement with, climate change</title>
<description><![CDATA[
	This Mediating Change workshop explores how social and other online media platforms such as Twitter, Facebook and blogging have altered the landscape of communication and engagement around climate change science and policy in recent years.

	The workshop will feature:

	
		Tamsin Edwards, Earth System Modeller (Bristol, School of Geographical Sciences); @flimsin,&nbsp;http://blogs.plos.org/models/
	
		Mark Brandon, Polar Oceanographer (OU science); @icey_mark,&nbsp;http://mallemaroking.org/
	
		Richard Holliman, OU Champion for Public Engagement with Research (Research, Scholarship and Quality Unit); http://www.open.ac.uk/blogs/per/
	
		Warren Pearce, Research Fellow (University of Nottingham) on Making Science Public programme, focusing on the relationship between scepticism and science, with a particular emphasis on the online debates around climate change; @warrenpearce 
	
		Barry Woods, Member of the public blogging and tweeting on the policies, politics, economics and science of climate change (man made &amp; natural); @barryjwoods blog at www.unsettledclimate.org


	They joined media and environment researcher Joe Smith (OU geography, @citizenjoesmith) and director of the Making Science Public programme Brigitte Nerlich (University of Nottingham, @bnehrlich) who will bring their experience to bear on a question that is of relevance to all researchers engaged in complex or contentious issues: How are these now well established media platforms influencing public debates, and how can researchers best make use of them? &nbsp; The workshop will be chaired by Melissa Butcher (OU geography), former radio producer who is currently leading two projects,&nbsp;Hackney as Home&nbsp;(https://twitter.com/hackneyashome) and&nbsp;Creating the &#39;New&#39; Asian Woman.&nbsp;

<title>MOOCs Part 1</title>
<description><![CDATA[
	&nbsp;

	10:00&ndash;&nbsp;Presenter:&nbsp;Martin Weller&nbsp;(IET)&nbsp;&nbsp;MOOCs - the future of education or old wine in new bottles? This talk will look at the history of MOOCs, and explore their potential, the issues that surround them and draw on the experience of opening up part of IET&#39;s MA as a MOOC.

	10:30&ndash;&nbsp;Presenters:&nbsp;Simon Cross&nbsp;and&nbsp;Yishay Mor&nbsp;(IET&nbsp;)&nbsp;OLDS MOOC: design, evaluation and badges. The Open Learning Design Studio MOOC &#39;Learning Design for a 21st Century Curriculum&#39; was&nbsp;funded by&nbsp;JISC&nbsp;as part of a benefits realisation programme and is intended to build on the success of the&nbsp;Open University Learning Design Initiative (OULDI)&nbsp;and other JISC funded curriculum design and delivery projects.&nbsp;The structure of the MOOC reflects a proposed process for a design inquiry project. In such a process, designers identify a (learning/curriculum) design challenge, explore it to gain an understanding of its context and driving forces, generate possible solutions, implement a solution and reflect on the process as a whole and its outputs. In this talk we will give a quick overview of the MOOC design and presentation, and focus on initial outcomes from our evaluation and the badging&nbsp;strategy&nbsp;we implemented.&nbsp;]]></description>

	&nbsp;

	11:15&ndash;&nbsp;Presenters:&nbsp;Tita Beaven, Anna&nbsp;Comas-Quinn, Mirjam Hauck, Tim Lewis&nbsp;and&nbsp;Bea de los Arcos&nbsp;The Open Translation MOOC. This talk describes the design and first presentation of an open online course in Open Translation offered to nearly 300 participants in the autumn of 2012. The course explored the potential of open translation tools for enabling communities to transcend the linguistic barriers that might limit access to and reusability of Open Educational Resources. Data from pre- and post-course surveys is used to understand the motivation and expectations of participants and their evaluation of this experience.

	11:45&nbsp;-&nbsp;Presenter:&nbsp;&nbsp;Mike Sharples&nbsp;(IET) FutureLearn, the story so far. I shall give an overview of the development of the Futurelearn proposition from the perspective of Lead Academic. The talk will cover the need for a new MOOC platform, its design principles and pedagogy. Futurelearn is actively building on more than 40 years of OU expertise in design and delivery of supported open learning. This is not simply re-purposing existing OU methods and content. The challenge is to create an engaging platform that enables innovative methods of learning from a diverse set of courses, while supporting large-scale participation. The talk will describe how the Futurelearn team is addressing this challenge through a process of iterative pedagogy-informed design and testing.]]></description>

<title>Inquiry to Innovation - Ronaldo Mota</title>
<description><![CDATA[
	11-40 Ronaldo Mota Independent Learning: An educational strategy to prepare students for Innovation in Brazil

	This paper attempts to present remarks about the Brazilian educational landscape with emphasis on the formation of professionals able to face the challenges associated with a world where innovation is a central priority for a sustainable social and economical development. A knowledge management scheme is presented and the traditional straight line connecting science, technology and innovation is proposed to be replaced by a circle, where innovation is simultaneously the end and the beginning of the creative process. The building of the school in Athens in IV century B.C., the book resulting from the invention of the printing press in XV century and the digital technologies nowadays are presented as the three elements symbolically representing the great educational revolutions and specific discussions are presented concerning the last one concerning their roles in our contemporary society. The independent learning methodology is presented here as an appropriate strategy to prepare students and to contribute to the formation of professionals able to face the challenges associated with a new Brazilian scene where innovation and entrepreneurship are central priorities.

<title>Emotional dimensions of prejudice - CCIG and SPRG event</title>
<description><![CDATA[
	For most of the history of prejudice research, negativity has been treated as its emotional and cognitive signature, a conception that continues to dominate work on the topic.&nbsp; By this definition, prejudice occurs when we dislike or derogate members of other groups. Recent research, however, has highlighted the need for a more nuanced and &lsquo;inclusive&rsquo; (Eagly 2004) perspective on the role of intergroup emotions and beliefs in sustaining discrimination. On the one hand, several independent lines of research have shown that unequal intergroup relations are often marked by attitudinal complexity, with positive responses such as affection and admiration mingling with negative responses such as contempt and resentment.&nbsp; Simple antipathy is the exception rather than the rule. On the other hand, there is mounting evidence that nurturing bonds of affection between the advantaged and the disadvantaged sometimes entrenches rather than disrupts wider patterns of discrimination. Notably, prejudice reduction interventions may have ironic effects on the political attitudes of the historically disadvantaged, decreasing their perceptions of injustice and willingness to engage in collective action to transform social inequalities. These developments raise a number of important questions. Has the time come to challenge the assumption that negative evaluations are inevitably the cognitive and affective hallmarks of discrimination?&nbsp; Is the orthodox concept of prejudice in danger of side-tracking, if not obstructing, progress towards social justice in a fuller sense?&nbsp; What are the prospects for reconciling a prejudice reduction model of change, designed to get people to like one another more, with a collective action model of change, designed to ignite struggles to achieve intergroup equality?

<title>Welcome address and Keynote Presentation</title>
<description><![CDATA[I study synthetic worlds: online environments where thousands or even millions of users share a persistent, fabricated geographic space at the same time. These places, billed and sold as games, actually seem to be offering something more than mere entertainment. They act as a fantastical alternative to ordinary life, and as such they pose a significant challenge to business-as-usual in ordinary society: markets, public policy, politics, law, romance. 

In the area of economics, for example, one pressing issue involves the extent to which people are paying real money to buy items for their game characters, thus blurring the distinction between the game economy and the real one. And this is not the only way in which synthetic worlds threaten the lines we have drawn between fantasy and reality.

As a parent and a gamer, I am both excited and concerned about these developments. The objective of my work is to increase our understanding of this technology.]]></description>

<title>Art Talk - Myra Hutton, textile artist, talk and demo</title>
<description><![CDATA[This event will be held in CMR01

Inspired by our natural surroundings and the elements, Myraâ€™s beautiful work consists of densely textured layers exploring colour and texture through a fusion of hand dyed fabrics, hand made felt with embellishments of thread, wire, beads and feathers. Using wool and silk fibres in a painterly way, creating blocks of vibrant colour before felting, blending and shading as she goes, Myra builds up the layers with textured
embellishment using the sewing machine as a drawing tool to bring the picture alive. Myra exhibits at several galleries and
goes into schools as a visiting artist and runs workshops from her studio in her gallery in Ampthill.

<title>Art Talk</title>
<description><![CDATA[This event was held in CMR15

Annabelle is an artist based in Milton Keynes at Westbury Farm
studios. She is represented by the Rebecca Hossack gallery in London and has sold many of her paintings to public and private collections. In October 2007 Annabelle had a solo show at the Three White Walls Gallery space in Birmingham titled Ã¢â‚¬ËœArticulated LandscapeÃ¢â‚¬â„¢. The work shown was a social/geographical investigation of the psychodynamics of space in relation to people in place. It is a survey of how we use space and function within a modern age. The work reveals people in a blank white space, articulated by the urban patterns. More recently Annabelle has been reintroducing colour and landscape back into her work. Annabelle will be giving a slide show and talk of her work from the time she left Staffordshire University in 1992 to present day.

The first ever virtual longitudinal study carried out by the CIBER research team at University College London claims that, although young people demonstrate an apparent ease and familiarity with computers, they rely heavily on search engines, view rather than read and do not possess the critical and analytical skills to assess the information that they find on the web.
	
	The report also shows that research-behaviour traits that are commonly associated with younger users impatience in search and navigation, and zero tolerance for any delay in satisfying their information needs are now becoming the norm for all age-groups, from younger pupils and undergraduates through to professors. Commissioned by the British Library and JISC (Joint Information Systems Committee), the study calls for libraries to respond urgently to the changing needs of researchers and other users.]]></description>

<title>DIY game-based multimedia in your library - is it for you?</title>
<description><![CDATA[This session is aimed at anyone who is creating multimedia in-house in a library environment, and is based on experience from the Multi-Lib programme in Windsor and Maidenhead public libraries, which looks at creating multimedia for library service development.  These are created using commonly available kit - software like Flash, open source web languages such as PHP/MySQL and PERL and simple hardware including digital cameras.  Multi-Lib outputs include the use of computer games to market computers to children and parents  (winner of the 2004 CILIP PPRG multimedia award), the use of cartoon trailers to promote reading schemes, the UKÃ­s first talking childrenÃ­s comments form for libraries, and games that incorporate user-generated content.  Andrew will  demonstrate Multi-Lib content, and explain some of the creative and technological processes behind them.  

The session is an informal look at what is involved in making multimedia, and aims to share experience and tactics, with quick wins and pitfalls to avoid.  It also discusses simple resource models for complex development and how to consider return on investment.

With the presenters' consent, we video record our Library seminars (including any questions during the seminar) and make them available on the internet. The seminar audience confirm their agreement to this by entering the location and attending the seminar.]]></description>

<title>Art Talk - Points of Departure: A Retrospective Look â€" an illustrated talk</title>
<description><![CDATA[Sonia Lawson RA will be staking out the influences upon her work since the late sixties, beginning with the belief that conscience and accountability had to be taken on board, looking at those influences that have occupied her from early social comment to later bright autobiographics; and recently to her use of paint for its own sake, applying abstract principles and gaining some freedom from strictures of specific story telling yet scoring figurative elements into the surface. And in our time, her firm belief in that painting and drawing remain worthwhile activities.

<title>Joint TLRG &amp; CALRG Seminar - Perspectives on The Learning Landscape: Research Methods to Complement the Institutional Point of View</title>
<description><![CDATA[The Learning Landscape Project (LLP) is a research project chaired by Pro-Vice-Chancellor Melveena McKendrick with a broad remit to describe teaching and learning practices and processes in the University of Cambridge and its Colleges. During Easter term in 2007 the LLP made use of a range of methods aimed at providing a picture of student use of ICTs in their daily lives. These methods included a student survey on technology use (1923 respondents), the Experience Sampling Method, the Very Advanced Technology Method, the Cold Turkey Method, and the Movers &amp; Shapers Method (52 participants in total).

This seminar discusses these methodologies in detail, reports on early  findings and emerging themes, and presents a plan for future work.

<title>The Open Learn Conference - Researching open content in education</title>
<description><![CDATA[The mornings session of the conference took place in G01/02 Nightingale house, Accenture.

The keynote session of the OpenLearn2007 conference was given by John Seely Brown.

The ways in which people can learn are changing with new opportunities to learn at a distance, to learn as part of global community and to learn using new technologies. Open and free educational resources are an important component in this expanded world of learning and major initiatives are now underway to provide such resources. 

This conference recognises the research challenge alongside the business challenge of providing, using and sustaining free and open resources and invites contributions and participation from those who are interested in how to research open content and what the findings are from those working in this challenging area.

There will be no charge for attendance with priority for registration given to those responding to the call for papers. Selected papers will be developed for publication in a special issue of the Journal of Interactive Media in Education.

Illustrated through a range of past and current projects, Michael Stanley, Director of Milton Keynes Gallery, discusses the importance of place, context and audience when creating a programme of contemporary art.]]></description>

<title>Art Walk 2007 - Gasping Goldie performance</title>
<description><![CDATA[About the Gasping Goldie performance:


We are all drowning all the timeâ€¦in life. One personâ€™s comfort zone is anotherâ€™s anxiety. We may be innocent in purpose but how often do we really understand one another? Gasping Goldie is, on one level, about human ignorance, our inability to understand truly a situation before we react. But on another level it is the story of a creative struggle, a soul gasping to survive unnoticed. There is more than one way to drown.

About the artist, Jessica Rost:

The main focus of my work has been sculpture and installation. I'm best known for my large scale car sculptures although I work in many different materials. The work has always had a tendency towards the theatrical or perhaps comical even though I deliver quite serious messages about corruption, consumerism or man's relationship to the environment.
This has led me more recently to express my ideas through story telling in the form of film making, animation, interference art, performance pieces and carnival costumes or a combination of these. The physical need I have to actually make things is still very important to me and this I continue to do but the products become props or costumes to another end: part of a performance, captured on film etc. ... At the moment I am especially interested in the world of live art and video performances, this allows me to punctuate my work emotionally and even spiritually through a connection to a live audience. As an artist, active in Milton Keynes since 1995, I think I have contributed a great deal locally as: car sculptor, symposium co-ordinator and community artist.]]></description>
