We're also planning on developing the powerpoint slides into something more comprehensive which could be put on a website for ready access by interested people.
We were also discussing the possibilities of "next step" activities - workshoppy rather than seminar format, hands-on in some of the facilities we mentioned. (See "more" below...) Obviously this all depends on the levels of interest and availability - please give it some thought and let us know what (if anything) you think you may be interested in. Some of the facilities (like the radio lab) have limited capacity, so those would need to be rsvp'd (and preference given to serious potential academic users, rather than budding rap artists or pirate radio stations...)
* imagine you're a group of social work students, tasked with putting together a thirty second audio insert for the radio on how to access a child support grant.
- use the internet to find the information;
- use Decision Explorer or NUDIST to structure the information into a a logical sequence / structure, grouping your ideas into a coherent format;
- plan your 30 second audio insert;
- in the radio lab, record, edit and polish it;
- present it to the rest of the "class".
Other "groups" could use video, still images, animation, music, etc...
