Festival passions, recorded and hidden in your cell phones

July 29th, 2012 by Graham Attwell

This is a Bing generated translation from an entry on the SMIAF festival page on Facebook by Lorenzo Bugli.

But it is not bad and gives an idea of what Dirk and I are doing next weekend. I really like the idea of “passions, recorded and hidden in your cell phones”. Details to follow in next 48 hours :)

“WEB RADIO: SMIAF presentation during the days of the festival (3-4-5 August), Graham Attwell (Wales) and Dirk Stieglitz (Germany), employees of the University of Bremen, will take care of the post-broadcasting, at European level, of the bands and groups of the Festival through 2012 SMIAF web radio: an attempt of digitalize San Marino and its services.

From Friday, August 19, 3 hours by visiting www.smiaf.org, you can watch live concerts of the evening, then continue during Saturday 4 and Sunday 5 (from 17 onwards) with a respectable schedule: interviews with the artists, staff and visitors of the 5th Edition, chats, posts of guests and participants in workshops, the whole interspersed by good music programme directly from the Workstation 6 (Bruno Reffi).

The invitation is also to come forward, tell her why not, share their music and their passions, recorded and hidden in your cell phones, iPhones and other devices. In programming, a special moment will be dedicated to the theme “a digital agenda for San Marino (http://www.isolasanmarino.com/2012/07/1244/) to begin to collect and share cutting-edge ideas to make our Republic about the digitalization of services and possibilities offered by” digital society “. Graham and Dirk, now European fans of SMIAF, founded in 1999 the Pontydysgu Ltd., which deals with new technologies, education and sharing of knowledge. Present in San Marino at the festival for the second year in a row, along with the organisers, European friends and young staff will create the SMIAF WEB RADIO!.”

In (probably rather better) Italian:

“Durante i giorni del festival (3-4-5 agosto), Graham Attwell (Galles) e Dirk Stieglitz (Germania), collaboratori dell’Università di Brema, si occuperanno del post-broadcasting, a livello EUROPEO, delle band e dei gruppi del Festival 2012 tramite la SMIAF web radio: un tentativo di digitalizzare San Marino e i suoi servizi. Da venerdì 3 Agosto ore 19, visitando il sito www.smiaf.org, si potranno seguire in diretta i concerti della serata, per poi proseguire durante sabato 4 e domenica 5 (dalle 17 in poi) con un palinsesto di tutto rispetto: interviste agli artisti, allo staff e ai visitatori della V edizione, chiacchierate di passaggio, interventi di ospiti e partecipanti ai workshop, il tutto intervallato dalla buona musica in programma, direttamente dalla postazione 6 (Campo Bruno Reffi). L’invito è anche quello di farsi avanti, dire la propria e perché no, condividere la propria musica e le proprie passioni, registrate e nascoste nei vostri cellulari, iphone e altri dispositivi. All’interno della programmazione, un momento particolare verrà dedicato al tema “Un’agenda digitale per San Marino” (http://www.isolasanmarino.com/2012/07/1244/) per iniziare a raccogliere e condividere idee per rendere all’avanguardia la nostra Repubblica circa la digitalizzazione dei servizi e le possibilità offerte dalla “digital society”. Graham e Dirk, ormai fans europei dello SMIAF, hanno fondato nel 1999 la Pontydysgu Ltd, che si occupa di nuove tecnologie, pedagogia e condivisione dei saperi. Presenti a San Marino al festival per il secondo anno consecutivo, insieme agli organizzatori, amici europei e giovani dello staff, daranno vita alla SMIAF WEB RADIO!”

    MOOCs and beyond

    A special issue of the online journal eLearning Papers has been released entitled MOOCs and beyond. Editors Yishay Mor and Tapio Koshkinen say the issue brings together in-depth research and examples from the field to generate debate within this emerging research area.

    They continue: “Many of us seem to believe that MOOCs are finally delivering some of the technology-enabled change in education that we have been waiting nearly two decades for.

    This issue aims to shed light on the way MOOCs affect education institutions and learners. Which teaching and learning strategies can be used to improve the MOOC learning experience? How do MOOCs fit into today’s pedagogical landscape; and could they provide a viable model for developing countries?

    We must also look closely at their potential impact on education structures. With the expansion of xMOOC platforms connected to different university networks—like Coursera, Udacity, edX, or the newly launched European Futurelearn—a central question is: what is their role in the education system and especially in higher education?”


    The cost of austerity and privatisation

    There is growing concern over the consequences of the English (Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have different policies) government’s cutbacks and privatisation of  careers guidance for young people. The International Centre for Guidance Studies reports on a discussion paper called ‘Cost to the Economy of Government Policy on Career Guidance: A Business Case for Funding and Strengthening Career Guidance in Schools‘ from Lizzie Taylor who is an Careers England Affiliate Member. “The report claims that the economic consequence of current government policy on career education is an escalating annual cost to young people in reduced and lost earnings, reaching £676m p.a. in 2018 before dropping back slightly to £665 m p.a.2022. The total cost in reduced and lost earnings to young people in the period 2013 to 2022 is estimated as £3.2bn.”


    Open Education 2030

    The Institute for Prospective Technological Studies (IPTS) –part of the Joint Research Center of the European commission –  is calling upon experts and practitioners to come up with visionary papers and imaginative scenarios on how Open Education in 2030 in Europe might look with a major focus on Open Educational Resources and Practices, in different education sectors.

    The foresight scenarios submitted can be normative or descriptive, idealistic or provocative, critical or imaginary, reflective or polemic, imaginative or concrete, comprehensive or selective, general or specific. They should be both inspiring and scientifically sound.

    Submissions are free to choose any angle, subject, approach, but they say the future vision and/or scenario should address the key question of how Open Education in 2030 in Europe might look, and include the role of OER.

    More details from the EU Europa website.


    PLE Conference Update

    I wasn’t overoptimistic about the Personal Learning Environments Conference this year. Discussions about PLEs have been subsumed in the hype over MOOCs. And most conferences are struggling with the ongoing recession. But I am delighted that we have received 59 submissions including a number of great proposals for interactive workshops.

    The PLE Conference takes place on 10 and 12 July in Berlin.
