fOSSa2011: Five Things About Online Community and NetworksNancy Wright White
My talk at fOSSa2011 in Lyon France sharing some ideas about communities, networks and technology stewardship in the context of Open Source Software communities. Photos of the sketchnotes I did of other presentations can be found here: http://fossa.inria.fr/nancywhite-s-sketch-notes-scanned-part-one/
As the hype cycle around MOOCs drops, the question of what narratives will survive and thrive around MOOCs opens up. This keynote panel presentation for #MRI13 suggests there are two solitudes in the post-MOOC-hype discussion - one an empty picture of undeliverable promises for higher ed, and the other a loose affiliation of complicated and sometimes conflicting interests. The lot of us on the latter side need to learn to talk to each other, to the public, and to decision-makers.

Networked Scholars &...Authentic Influence?Bonnie Stewart
What does academic influence mean in an age of information abundance? This keynote delivered at the University of Edinburgh's #elearninged conference explores the idea of authenticity in the context of networked scholarship, and outlines ongoing research into why scholars use networks and how they read each others' reputations and credibility within them.
Slides from the talk I presented March 17th at the IOC Online Conference http://www.internationalonlineconference.org/2010/program - I made a few post-talk adjustments to include some of the interactions and screen shots of the work of Dan Porter who provided live, electronic graphic recording of the talk.
Keynote for the 2014 AACUSS Conference - Social Media, Campus Culture, and Higher Ed.
In the midst of the changing culture of contemporary higher ed, social media can be one of the areas where frontline staff are left feeling least equipped. This presentation explores social media as both a symptom of society and a factor in shaping it, and explores how social networks operate as a communications medium.
Live slides from a conversation with Alec Couros' EC&I831 class about the risks of social media participation for educators & scholars, as well as the very real connections and caring that can emerge in the process.
Disconnecting with Social Networking SiteBen Light
Connection and connectivity have become significant areas of emphasis in our definitions of SNS and in our understandings of how these technologies are used. Based on qualitative interviews with a variety of people who engage with a diverse range of SNS I will put forward an alternate reading that emphasises disconnection as integral to our lived experiences of SNS activity. From my analysis, I have developed a theory of disconnective practice. Disconnective practice refers to the potential modes of human and non-human disengagement with the connective attempts made possible with SNS. These modes of disengagement sit in relationship to our experiences of a particular site, between and amongst different sites and with regard to these sites and our physical worlds. Disconnective practice highlights SNS as operationally contradictory whereby connection and disconnection coexist and can be mutually necessary.

Making Your Organization Accessible to People With Disabilities4Good.org
One out of five people live with some type of a disability. If the environment or information is not sufficiently designed, people with disabilities are not able to participate in the life of an organization.
In this presentation we are going to look at the needs of people with disabilities (sight, hearing, extremities), how can we make a difference in their lives, and how this effort benefits everyone.
The following topics will be covered:
Physical accessibility
Accessibility of information
Extending services to all
Legislation and the right things to do
How do people with disabilities access services and information?

Director Lee Rainie describes how libraries can be actors in building and participating in social networks through their use of social media such as Facebook, Twitter, and blogging and through delivering their time-tested — and trusted — services to their patrons.

Insights into understanding the ways that youth can use social networking and web based resources to help them make sense of their own disability and how they communicate to people around them.
A lot of the real work in the area of virtual communities has not
been done by researchers or companies but by people acting as activists in their own
community. A number of Community Networks has been established over the last years
(some of them have been around for a long time, see Schuler, 1996). The basic perspective is
to use cyberspace and its possibilities to increase societal involvement and citizen activities in
our communities. The approach is very practical in that it often consists of attempts to create
and build electronic communities where the technology is brought to people in a simple way.
Often also without any or at least very limited costs to the individual citizen. To involve the
individual citizen in the continuous development of our existing but also of new communities
are the purpose. These Community Networks has not been recognized in the cyberspace
‖hype‖ in these last years, even if they been around for a long time and have maybe the best
knowledge, so far, on what makes virtual communities possible and what hinders them. One
reason behind this might be that these Networks has not been fast in the acceptance of new
technology and are maybe not as ‖hot‖ as some of thenew virtual communities based on the
newest technology possible.
Virtual Communities for Professional Development and Growth
How do we promote the knowledge, skills and sense of urgency for 21st Century teaching and learning among all teachers in our schools? As the physical and virtual worlds converge to become the 'real world' of teaching and learning, virtual exchanges, online mentoring and other Web-based environments will play increasingly important roles in educational reform. The presenter will share "lessons learned" from her seven years of experience in designing and leading virtual communities of practice.
Understanding Networked Scholars: Experiences and practices in online social ...George Veletsianos
Slides from an invited talk given to the The 4th International Conference on E-learning and Distance Education located in Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia: Online journals, online forums, and social media such as Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube are an integral part of open and digital scholarship, which is often seen as a major breakthrough in radically rethinking the ways in which knowledge is created and shared. In this presentation I situate networked practices in open/digital scholarship and explain what scholars and professors do online, and, why they do the things that the do. I conclude by describing 3 themes pervasive in scholarly networks: identify networks, networks of conflict, and networks of disclosure.
Is learning happening (and how) in virtual communities of practice?Louise Worsley
Innovation is occurring through open learning because the requirements of learning are changing, the number and types of solutions available through computer-mediated communication are growing rapidly, and these in turn are leading to a new learning paradigm. These changes impact upon our children’s education, adult learning, and the way we as groups, professional communities and organisations acquire and share knowledge.
This is a synthesis of the Chapter 9 of Curtis Bonk's book "The World is Open". The title is Alternative Reality learning and deals with the burgeoning popularity of the Second Life.

20. While the Internet can provide the information people with a mobility impairment may need and Social networks and blogs can help them connect with people The three-dimensional environment of a Virtual World such as Second Life can do much more to enrich their lives and enhance their self esteem and mental well-being. Mobility in a Virtual World
21. Virtual Worlds such as Second Life provide the opportunity and capability to ACTUALLY DO THINGS. Walk the streets of New York and Paris Visit an Egyptian tomb Fly over a city Scuba dive in the ocean Learn to paint a picture Not exactly the same, but close enough, they have the feeling of being there. Mobility in a Virtual World
22. Virtual Worlds provide the opportunity for: Meeting and talking to people May be only form of adult conversation Socialization Life long friendships Control over their environment Learning new skills Feeling less isolated Mobility in a Virtual World
23. Mobility in a Virtual World Why was this project important? The potential to bring an entirely new world to people with mobility impairments.
