Mashup of two video clips (the JISC cartoon about the E-Framework and a talk given by Graham at the ALT-C 2006 conference) which allows users to see the argument for approaches to development of e-learning services from two different viewpoints - that of institutional management as epitomized by JISC and the learners viewpoint as explained by Graham Attwell

Here we go with another release from the Pontydysgu studios.

This one is a bit of an oddity its a mash up - based on an idea by Brian Kelly. Brian has invited participants in the Institutional Web Management Workshop 2007 to submit lightweight examples of innovative uses of Web technologies which may be of interest to IWMW 2007 participants.

This could include, the Innovation Competition web site says:

  • 'Mashups' which integrate content from multiple sources
  • Informative, educational or entertaining use of multimedia (e.g. podcasts, YouTube videos, etc.)
  • Informative, educational or entertaining use of 3-D virtual environments such as Second Life.
  • Seamless access to content using technologies such as OpenID.

We went for the video mash up and my colleague Einion Dafydd mashed together my speech on PLEs at AltC last year together with the Jisc video on services oriented architecture.

I'm not quite sure what we have achieved - or even what we hoped to achieve. But it was a lot of fun. Anyway here are the reviews (all two of them!).

Brian Kelly says: "Not all of the entries to the IWMW 2007 Innovation Competition consist of mashups of text and images from various sources. Graham Attwell, a member of the JISC Emerge project team, has created a mashup of two video clips (the JISC cartoon about the E-Framework and a talk given by Graham at the ALT-C 2006 conference) which allows users to see the argument for approaches to development of e-learning services from two different viewpoints - that of institutional management as epitomized by JISC and the learners viewpoint as explained by Graham Attwell. This, I feel, provides an interesting example of scholarly debate which makes use of YouTube."

And Steven Downes comments "Nice video contraposing an official-sounding description of the e-Framework, a set of protocols intended to standardize educational web services, and commentary from a talk by Graham Attwell. I especially like the way he was able to dig up the subtext from what would otherwise seem to be an innocuous technical video."

You've read the reviews - now enjoy the video.
