Reservoir engineering is the field to evaluate field performance by performing reservoir modeling studies and explore opportunities to maximize the value of both exploration and production properties to enhance hydrocarbon production.
Gave a talk at StartCon about the future of Growth. I touch on viral marketing / referral marketing, fake news and social media, and marketplaces. Finally, the slides go through future technology platforms and how things might evolve there.
Each technological age has been marked by a shift in how the industrial platform enables companies to rethink their business processes and create wealth. In the talk I argue that we are limiting our view of what this next industrial/digital age can offer because of how we read, measure and through that perceive the world (how we cherry pick data). Companies are locked in metrics and quantitative measures, data that can fit into a spreadsheet. And by that they see the digital transformation merely as an efficiency tool to the fossil fuel age. But we need to stretch further…

What can Open Access offer me as a teacher?: A guide to Open Access and to ed...Stian Håklev
Presentation given with Clare Brett as part of Master of Teachers Tech Day at OISE, Oct 20 2010.
Abstract: Open Access (OA) and Open Educational Resources (OER's) are terms being increasingly used in educational circles. There are a lot of free, well-designed and interesting curriculum resources out there for the discerning teacher to find and use in their classroom. This workshop will provide a tour of some of the key locations for finding such resources for k-12 teachers, as well as introducing you to the ideas behind Open Access in general, and a discussion of interesting new directions for lifelong professional development, such as the Peer-to-Peer university. The workshop will consist of introducing you to the terms and resources of Open Access as well as small group discussions on strategies and issues about using these resources in your classroom. This will be an interactive session, where your questions are welcome and will guide the kinds of materials we discuss.
QA in e-Learning and Open Educational Resources (OER)Jon Rosewell
Introductory slides for a workshop on updating the e-learning quality assurance benchmarks of the E-xcellence NEXT project http://www.eadtu.nl/e-xcellencelabel
This presentation will focus on your next steps of evaluating a range of OER resources so that you can enhance the use of OER for your purposes.
Learn how you can efficiently evaluate these resources for:
quality
content
appropriateness
reputation
pedagogical methods
customization & refinement
Part of a series introducing Open and Open Educational Resources as a potentially high impact part of supporting the realisation of intended institutional graduate profiles, as described in Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University's Vision2020.

2. Phase 2 – Task 1: Identify and Discuss TW Collections Using LRE Teacher Community Forum Task 1 of Phase 2 begins: June 16, 2011 Work must be completed: July 6, 2011 Expected time to complete task: 2 hours (max) Description: Identifying, Describing and Discussing Collections and TW Criteria Task One can overlap with the start of Task Two (described in a separate guide available July 1, 2011). Platform: LRE Teachers Community Forum: http://lreforschools.eun.org/web/guest/community Initial Requirements: Registration for an openID on http://lreforschools.eun.org – (see login instructions starting on pg. 13) Powerpoint template - Patricia Munoz King 2 28/01/2009
3. Task One: Objectives and Process eQNet Teachers: Identify 2 collections potentially rich in TW resources Use LRE Community Forum Share their findings with each other Teachers discuss TW criteria development in the Forum Each eQNet partner will have recommended collections that lead to at least 300 resources per partner to be included in the LRE by October 15, 2011 EUN tasks: LRE team will review the collection to determine whether it is technically possible to include it in the LRE Some collections might be found ineligible because of copyright limitations or other issues Teachers will be asked to suggest a different collection if their collection is found to be ineligible Powerpoint template - Patricia Munoz King 3 28/01/2009
4. Task One: Instructions for Teachers Identify 2 collections (can be more) Collections are a group of resources from one provider They share the same url address Example http://illuminations.nctm.org/ This is the collection homepage http://illuminations.nctm.org/LessonDetail.aspx?id=L646 This is an individual resource from the Illuminations NCTM collection For this task provide just the collection homepage url and a description of the collection and its TW qualities Collections can be made up of different subjects or the same subject. They can be for only one age group or many. Use the LRE Community Forum to share the url, describe the collections and discuss your recommendations and experiences with other teachers http://lreforschools.eun.org/web/guest/community Powerpoint template - Patricia Munoz King 4 28/01/2009
5. Task One: Requirements (1) At least one of the collections should originate either from Europe or have support for European languages other than English The collection must have at least 20 + individual learning resources that meet travel well criteria. What to look for: The collections can be something you already know well because this is where you found resources for the previous tasks. Collections that have a Creative Commons license or a Terms of Use page (usually at the bottom) explicitly allowing teachers to use and share this material at no cost. Powerpoint template - Patricia Munoz King 5 28/01/2009
6. Task One: Requirements (2) What to avoid: Collections already in the LRE are not eligible It is ok if one or several individual resources are in the LRE because of previous eQNet work but not the whole collection You can see if the collection is in the LRE with search by provider name Collections that have a lot of advertising or that require payment to use the resources Look at the terms of use statement usually at the bottom of the page. Does a teacher need explicit permission to use the resource in a class? If yes, the collection is not eligible. Powerpoint template - Patricia Munoz King 6 28/01/2009
7. Task One: Requirements (3) Avoid Collections that are a mix of resources provided by another aggregator/federation How to tell if you are looking at an aggregator/federation: When you select a resource are you taken to a different site entirely? If yes, you are using an aggregator/federation. Does the site let you browse by collections of providers? If yes, you are using an aggregator/federation. If you are unsure, feel free to send your examples to elena.shulman@eun.org Example of aggregators/federation: http://www.merlot.org, http://free.ed.gov and http://nsdl.org It is ok to use an aggregator/federation to discover a collection but remember to provide the specific collection url and not the aggregator/federation pages. Powerpoint template - Patricia Munoz King 7 28/01/2009
8. Task One: Using LRE Community Forum Use the LRE Community Forum to post collections http://lreforschools.eun.org/web/guest/community You must be logged in with your openID Instructions for creating openID are at the end of this slideshow In the Community Forum in the LRE There are two ‘Categories’ Category called ‘Collections that Travel Well’ where the collections are to be listed and described by teachers http://lreforschools.eun.org/web/guest/community/-/message_boards/category/14253 Category called ‘Developing TW Criteria’ http://lreforschools.eun.org/web/guest/community/-/message_boards/category/12780 Powerpoint template - Patricia Munoz King 8 28/01/2009
9. Collections that Travel Well Forum Provide the title and url to the homepage of the collection Describe the collection How many resources do you think meet TW criteria? Subjects, age ranges, types of resources, and any other relevant information Which TW criteria are applicable to resources in this collection? If you are able to find the license or terms of use page, what kind of legal restrictions did you find? Powerpoint template - Patricia Munoz King 9 28/01/2009
10. Discussion: Developing TW Criteria Forum Use this category in the forum to: Describe the process and challenges you and fellow teachers encountered in developing TW criteria. Requirements: Each Teacher answers the questions about the challenges and process they undertook to develop TW criteria (3-4 sentences minimum) Each Teacher should reply to at least one other post from a fellow teacher (1-2 sentences) See following slides for examples Powerpoint template - Patricia Munoz King 10 28/01/2009
