Multiplying the impact of online instruction - "The Obviousness of Open Policy"Jane Park
This is the talk I gave to SUNY instructional designers at http://slnsolsummit2012.edublogs.org. It is a remix of Cable Green's talk, "The Obviousness of Open Policy" at http://www.slideshare.net/cgreen/sloan-the-obviousness-of-open-policy.
(Abstract) At the core of the new ACRL Framework for Information Literacy is the educational theory of threshold concepts, according to which every discipline contains "troublesome" concepts that stand as barriers to learning. Accordingly, by identifying these barriers and directing our teaching towards them, educators can foster deeper understanding and appreciation of complex subjects. In light of the new ACRL Framework's adoption of threshold concepts, this presentation from a former member of the Framework Task Force will offer a critical assessment of the applicability of threshold concepts to information literacy.
This presentation will argue that the six "frames" of information literacy are underdetermined, they fail to distinguish concepts from skills, they are too relative to individual student experiences to provide general guidance, and they reduce information literacy to a single discipline. This last point is especially important insofar as the new Framework removes our ability to think of information literacy as a general, interdisciplinary set of critical thinking skills.
Ultimately, through its insistence on threshold concepts as first principles, the new ACRL Framework moves away from its promise of holism and instead becomes inward-looking and exclusionary. Thankfully, the Framework is malleable enough that with a few modifications to threshold concept theory, an increased sensitivity to student learning differences, and close attention to the cross-disciplinary relevance of information literacy, there is something to salvage. Rather than accept the ACRL Framework uncritically, we owe it to ourselves and our students to ask tough questions.

Bridging the Divide - A Social Media Workshop Ian Clark
This was for a workshop on social media at the 2014 National Acquisitions Group conference in York (3rd-4th September). The presentation is comprised of a short section on using social media and the internet in general, followed by some group work on particular social media tools.
The slides containing lists of interesting examples of social media use in libraries were used to prompt groups to look at the content posted on each of the accounts focusing particularly on style and content. The intention was then to prompt ideas as to how people can use social media within their own workplaces.

Lego Beowulf and the Web of Hands and Hearts, for the Danish national museum ...Michael Edson
This talk was delivered at the awards ceremony for the 2012 Bikuben Foundation Danish Museum Prize in Copenhagen, Denmark.
Ideas about what museums are, who they serve, and the role they play in society are changing with dramatic speed, driven largely by social media and the participatory culture of global networks.
Denmark supports world-class museums, with remarkable collections, expert staff, and beautiful architecture. But how can museum leaders balance the traditional concepts of organizational mission and outcomes with the disruptive possibilities being demonstrated by those who love and use museums in new ways?

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.

48. “The problem we’ve got is the kind of
formal learning, certainly anything council
funded has sort of gone…we’re limited to
what we can do based on the skills set of
the group of volunteers at the time.”
49. “…many of the adults could go to other
libraries…it’s more about convenience…in
the sense that if you’re 15 and you need
to do your homework on a Saturday
afternoon then it might be a bit of a
problem getting to another library.”
50. “…the library would probably have to
close if that was the scenario [if the local
authority were to pull out]. I don’t think in
our area you are going to get a situation
where…things become completely
community run. I just don’t think we have
the same level of interest and involvement
from the right sorts of people.”
