Alastair Mitchell CEO Huddle.
The reality is there is amassive range of tools to use,old school like Sharepoint (:-))
& new like google.
Even though, free services theremay be hidden costs.
Collaboration:
Confusing
Complicated
Crowded
Costly
Collaboration is not just email,intranet,wikis or forums
Collaboration is every tool, plus people, we must not forget about people, you can provide a social tool, but you have to get people to use it.
In reality everyone likes technology outside the institution but hates institutional technology.
Should it be one thing.....
Web 2.0 is great if you are a user but difficult to administer & manage as an educational community.( Will we be individuals or members of a collaborative community)
We need to bring together enterprise & social eg sharepoint & google
Huddle is a set of workspaces
One for staff, one for students
Has a dashboard with work spaces, can be private college ones set up by college and will link into your personal ones.

Creativity & Media Production
Tom Abbott - Communication Office - University of Warwick
Steve Bowbrick on the BBC - says its going into its 2nd era, this could be said of education.
We are at a moment of explosive creativity, every week we can go to work & see something new, not all brilliant..... but some extraordinary.
we need to take the extra ordinary and make them ordinary, ie,part of normal life /business/ core
Its not about love of technology but organisational behaviour, to be able to adapt & change & respond
To get staff on board, it has to be ordinary, easy not complicated by technology or the language of the new. ( Online diary not blog)
Warwick do Podcasts & icasts, part of the norm ( as in our In a Nutshell project at College)Although used outside expertise to look slick, a bit like sky news reporting, sonow a switch.....
Now taken on by eLearning / IT Services leading projects ....... not the most slick , but of warwick by warwick, a need to support staff & students to be creative ( such as the proposal for e-solutions at EHWLC)
Need a creative environment. Google gives all its staff 20% of their time to innovate
At Warwick is the learning grid space, can video etc, student owned space supported by students
A flatpack video booth (like our EHWLC video diary box, but lighter) with an eeepc in it& web cam)
Warwick has its own blogging system can upload live video capture straight into their blog. Can record lessons, evidence live upload.
Students can come & learn how to use video it is ordinary to use it....becomes part of the core rather than peripheral

Building 21st Century Learning Environments
John Hickey - Apple
Where we need to go..........
Technology is anything that wasn't around when you were born.
Teachers are moving from information experts to coaches & guides to information and learning how to learn.
What engages this learner is v. different, they live in media rich environment, they are producers as well as consumers
In classes like being on a flight,have to turn off all their electronics
Student expectations, technology encourages collaboration & interaction, they are not taught like this.
The real world is advanced, academia, is not......
Technology can advance learning, engage learners and reach out to the community.
Academia invented this type of computing.....shift inn power in IT now
Consumerisation of IT
Before, walls were built around IT, only allow certain things in
If we don't offer enough quota for email,they just use google
Students bring this into campus & support each other
There is a race to catch up with consumer technologies, we don't have the resources to compete with this
Previously people got their first email account from a uni or college,not the case now
Devices are dictating IT, mobile phones etc
There is a move from context to core we need to reverse the support for these, what is our core, our delivery, our faculties & alumni, the context is email, software etc, IT spends most of its time keeping email going not supporting teaching & learning.
Can look at developing institutional learning applications / resources
Look at iTunes U for academic content
(An open on-line library)

Campus of the Future
Miles Metcalfe from Ravensbourne College talks about the campus of the future.
Ravensbourne have 1500 students and are a mainly A&D & Communication univ. They are moving to Greenwich next door to Millenium dome (o2 arena).New campus designed by FOA(?),opens in 2010.
None of us really know about the future, but has all buzzwords: community engaged, peer supported,inclusive etc etc.
How does IT support this?
User-owned technology.
software as a service, eg google, software loan
Instead of providing inadequate it service, provide good connectivity
IT dept:
Instead of a defender of a scarce resource and arbiter of fair use ,a model of control
Should never block access to Youtube or facebook
A coherent pedagogy, where learners become practitioners and negotiate public id & need to integrate their extra institutional practice into their institution bound learning.
A PLE, access their personal environment through institutional services
Mobile phones have blown away a time driven/ synchronised society
Think about things, a friendship used to be strong , it now could be some idiot on facebook
A VLE system, can be the portal to all you need to learn whether run through rss,institutional data, cloud etc. (the things we at College are thinking about, creating an institutional front end which provides an entry to the things we need.)
Openid is a users id, not institutional identity like shibboleth
Updating patches is a nightmare

Visions of the Future #2
Tim showed some HD over wireless coming down at 1098kps. How can we use this?
Loughborough Univ SU, filmed HD Rugby, (rest of this post lost because of wireless network...humph) they used the rugby footage as a marketing tool to attract sports students.
In China a university filming operations in HD, Timsaw it, it was a bit too realistic!
Some barriers
Money : share resources
Old Farts: don't let people stop innovation
Production resources, Loughborough students wanted a crane, are looking at engineering students to build one for them
Resources maybe there is a place for a students tv network
There is a JANET briefing on iptv on 9th NOV in Cambridge

Visions of the Future
Tim Marshall, CEO JANET(UK), aknowledges that we live ina world of fast change. We in education need to be ahead of the game as we are educating the workforce of tomorrow.
A few years ago in broadcasting, being able to spin a picture around was cutting edge, it cost £300an hour to create. Now all that can be done in PowerPoint.
Tim was in Beijing looking at quality control, all was filmed in HD, this challenges the way we cover things like sport, it can change which way we film, from the side or head on etc.
May not need a commentator formost things if picture is so good.
With HD you have to shoot a dramalike a feature films as it picks up rubbish sets.
(Interestingly audiences are getting used to viewing content from mobiles etc on Youtube)
Tim is talking about this now, his son now can produce something that is high quality.
Moving image on the internet is an anarchic exciting thing.
