FOTE2008: 3rd Session

Mile Metcalfe, Ravensbourne

Miles started by discussing the college’s move to Greenwich. The innovative ideas for ICT include:

• Flexible Learnings Spaces (you had to hear the visualisation)
• Serendipitous Commons
• Subsidise personal technology
• high end reources integrated with user owned workflows
• Software as a service (google),  opensource alternatives to ‘money grabbing’ proprietory systems

The curse of the Mobile - Mobile Phones did away with the need punctuality.

Technology

• The VLE is no longer the whole answer
• RSS, OpenID preserve the VLEpanopticon
• Bounded systems give way to more open collaboration

Some parting shots

• OpenID is far from perfect
• I don’t trust these extra-institutional software as a service

Miles did an excellent and entertaining presentation which is available at http://www.slideshare.net/mmetcalfe/ravensbourne-tomorrow-fote-2008-presentation/
