  1. Building and Connecting Emerge Jim Hensman – Coventry UniversityGeorge Roberts – Oxford Brookes University Next Generation Technologies in Practice Conference – March 2009

  2. Outline for Today • Describe work of the Connection Benefits Realisation Project • Carry out a set of activities to help draw out potential connections and future possibilities for Emerge projects

  3. Connection Benefits Realisation Project http://cublogs.coventry.ac.uk/innovation/connection-project/ • Motivating Question: How can Emerge projects and their members link together to sustain the work they have been doing and maintain the Emerge Community? • Based on Planet (Pattern Language Network for Web 2.0 Learning) Project Methodology • Planet aims to elicit and represent Web 2.0 practice so it can be linked together and shared by a community of learning practitioners • Connection aims to represent the practice of Emerge so it can be linked together and shared by Emerge and wider learning communities • Uses Planet as an exemplar to try out how these links could be implemented in practice

  4. Grouping Projects • Create keyword tags for projects • Use a simple ontology • Map the projects and analyse clusters

  5. Creating a Simple Ontology

  6. Emerge Project Themes

  7. Selected Emerge Themes -1

  8. Selected Emerge Themes - 2

  9. Activity 1 – Linking and Extending Solutions • Repositories: Streamline, PERSoNA, UKAN-SKILLS • Audio/Podcasting/Multimedia: ASEL, MACFoB, Sounds Good • Virtual Worlds (Games): ARGOSI, OpenHabitat, M3, MOOSE, PREVIEW • Semantic Web: AWESOME, Gold Dust, HeLMET, (CIP) • Social Networks: APT STAIRS, AWESOME, (CIP), eTutor, (Flourish), HeLMET, M3, Planet, Reflect 2.0, PERSoNA, SkillClouds

  10. Institutional Innovation Project Themes

  11. Merged Emerge and Institutional Innovation Project Themes

  12. Activity 2 – Addressing Key Problems • Providing collaborative learning opportunities and building learning communities against a background of reduced opportunity • Embedding technologies in institutional practice • (Providing feedback, Mobile technologies, Low Carbon, Other)

  13. Linking Project Systems • Investigation of linking Planet/Connection to other systems • Project Information databases: PIMs, Simal, PROD etc. • Visualisation and mapping: VUE, Touchgraph, Freemind • Other: Cloudworks (OU), myExperiment, Compendium LD, Google Web Services etc. • Methodology • Create API/Web Service interface • Look at composite models (e.g.,E-framework Service Usage Models) • Applicable to other projects implementing services • E.g., CIP, eTutor, Gold Dust, HeLMET, SkillClouds, ticTOCs • Possibly to many others as information resource etc.

  14. The Future • Emerge as a facilitator of connections and Community of Communities • Connection will continue help to Emerge projects • Challenge – engaging with wider communities • e.g., NESTA Connect
