She highlights a few new wrinkles and some unknowns and offers practical strategies for maintaining good communications with your campus counsel as you and your institution navigate these promising new technologies and look ahead to Web 3.0. tag:odeo.com,2009-01-27,23967919 Tue, 27 Jan 2009 15:58:11 -0800 no Blogdigger Media search for web 2.0 podcasts, Web 2.0, Social Computing, Policy and Law, Information Policies, eliannual09, Policy and Law: Campus http://odeo.com/episodes/23937478-as-regras-da-web-2-0-ouvir-todos-%C3%83%C2%A9-n%C3%83%C2%A3o-se-ouvir seguir gente demais no twitter ou acompanhar live casts de coisas como a campus party me faz lembrar um filme de decadas atras, Scanners, onde um cara com poderes paranormais pirava num shopping porque ouvia os pensamentos de todo mundo ao mesmo tempo :) os telepatas que me perdoem, mas nao consigo pensar nada que preste se ficar sintonizando outros cérebros. e você? ouça uma reflexão de quem prefere reflexão a ecos, ecos, ecos. seguir gente demais no twitter ou acompanhar live casts de coisas como a campus party me faz lembrar um filme de decadas atras, Scanners, onde um cara com poderes paranormais pirava num shopping porque ouvia os pensamentos de todo mundo ao mesmo tempo :) os telepatas que me perdoem, mas nao consigo pensar nada que preste se ficar sintonizando outros cérebros. e você? ouça uma reflexão de quem prefere reflexão a ecos, ecos, ecos. seguir gente demais no twitter ou acompanhar live casts de coisas como a campus party me faz lembrar um filme de decadas atras, Scanners, onde um cara com poderes paranormais pirava num shopping porque ouvia os pensamentos de todo mundo ao mesmo tempo :) os telepatas que me perdoem, mas nao consigo pensar nada que preste se ficar sintonizando outros cérebros. e você? ouça uma reflexão de quem prefere reflexão a ecos, ecos, ecos. tag:odeo.com,2009-01-24,23937478 Sat, 24 Jan 2009 11:14:13 -0800 no Blogdigger Media search for web 2.0 áudio http://odeo.com/episodes/23932314-WOW2-Show-105-with-Angela-Maiers Jen Wagner, Peggy George, Cheri Toledo and Sharon Peters welcome Angela Maiers on the show tonight to discuss literacy and "Classroom Habitudes".   Chat Log:   read more Jen Wagner, Peggy George, Cheri Toledo and Sharon Peters welcome Angela Maiers on the show tonight to discuss literacy and "Classroom Habitudes".   Chat Log:   read more Jen Wagner, Peggy George, Cheri Toledo and Sharon Peters welcome Angela Maiers on the show tonight to discuss literacy and "Classroom Habitudes".   Chat Log:   read more tag:odeo.com,2009-01-21,23932314 Wed, 21 Jan 2009 13:01:43 -0800 no Blogdigger Media search for web 2.0 Education, literacy, Jen Wagner, Sharon Peters, Women of Web 2.0, Peggy George, Cheri Toledo, Angela Maiers, habitudes http://odeo.com/episodes/23912876-Don%C3%A2-t-make-ads-make-news-Be-the-Voice-podcast Interview with Bob Thacker, Senior VP of Marketing and Advertising for OfficeMax, about building a new voice with their “Life is beautiful.

A: The Internet doesn’t know geographic boundaries, so with few exceptions your message can reach across the globe. The one area that is geographically sensitive is social networks, which seem to gain more active followings in some countries than in others.

To subscribe to my weekly newsletter, just fill out the short form to the right. Q: How do you reach international audiences? Are the tools you showed just for US consumers? A: The Internet doesn’t know geographic boundaries, so with few exceptions your message can reach across the globe. The one area that is geographically sensitive is social networks, which seem to gain more active followings in some countries than in others. Google’s Orkut, for example, has been a nonstarter in the U.S. but has a huge following in Brazil. Cyworld is popular in Korea, while Hi5 has a big Latin American membership. In Japan, Mixi is the largest social network. The Swedes love Lunarstorm, and the Poles take to Grono. I’m not sure why that’s the case, but if you’re trying to reach people on social networks, you need to go where they’re already congregating. Q: Can you give some examples of return on investment? A: That depends on how you define “return.”  Often, businesses look at return in terms of visits to a designated landing page, such as a download or order form.  In that case, look at referring URLs. You can also track actual orders back to the URLs or e-mail links that referred people to that page. That’s a relatively easy way to translate links into sales. Use unique URLs and/or tracking codes to document where your customers are coming from. This podcast interview with Avinash Kaushik on Paul Dunay’s Buzz Marketing for Technology podcast series has some sound advice. In other cases, however, companies may look for an increase in favorable press coverage or blogger comments as an indicator of ROI. In that case, tracking an increase in press or blog citations compared to a base point can yield a pretty good idea of the effectiveness of a campaign. Note that these are not web analytics and that the collar value of these results can be difficult to quantify. Q: What (if any) silver bullet can you use, to encourage your client to create a blog for their company, when they are deathly afraid of negative feedback? A: A substantial body of evidence is emerging to support the effectiveness of social media marketing.  For example, here’s a list of links to archives of successful social media campaigns. A study of the Inc. 500 by the University of Massachusetts found that three quarters of the respondents now consider social media to be essential to their marketing efforts. Sites like eMarketer and Marketing Sherpa also have extensive case history and statistical evidence about the value of blogs and other tools. Recent McKinsey research reveals that companies that have bought into Web 2.0 marketing are planning to expand their commitment this year. In my view, negative feedback is an overrated problem.  Every company has some unhappy customers, and most people understand that that’s part of the landscape.  In most cases, critics can be converted to satisfied customers or even fans with a little hand-holding and special attention.  There is overwhelming evidence that simply responding to disgruntled customers with a message that shows you’re listening can put to bed the vast majority of complaints.  If a company does have a customer satisfaction problem, however, it is wise to step lightly into new media.  Be prepared for negativity and be ready to respond to each and every comment.  You’ll quickly find that criticism will diminish as you demonstrate responsiveness. Q: Does social media marketing apply more to medium and larger businesses than to small businesses? A: In my experience, small businesses are more active, creative and effective at leveraging social media marketing than big companies.  There are many reasons for this, including the compelling cost advantages, the speed and responsiveness of small organizations, their willingness to engage directly with individual customers and the accessibility of senior managers.  The University of Massachusetts research I mentioned above found that small businesses are adopting these tools much faster than large ones.  In my own presentations and seminars, I consistently find that small companies are more enthusiastic and responsive to the potential of social media than the big guys.  In fact, large companies tend to excel at finding reasons to AVOID talking to their customers!

You can also track actual orders back to the URLs or e-mail links that referred people to that page. That’s a relatively easy way to translate links into sales. Use unique URLs and/or tracking codes to document where your customers are coming from. This podcast interview with Avinash Kaushik on Paul Dunay’s Buzz Marketing for Technology podcast series has some sound advice. In other cases, however, companies may look for an increase in favorable press coverage or blogger comments as an indicator of ROI. In that case, tracking an increase in press or blog citations compared to a base point can yield a pretty good idea of the effectiveness of a campaign. Note that these are not web analytics and that the collar value of these results can be difficult to quantify. Q: What (if any) silver bullet can you use, to encourage your client to create a blog for their company, when they are deathly afraid of negative feedback? A: A substantial body of evidence is emerging to support the effectiveness of social media marketing.  For example, here’s a list of links to archives of successful social media campaigns. A study of the Inc. 500 by the University of Massachusetts found that three quarters of the respondents now consider social media to be essential to their marketing efforts. Sites like eMarketer and Marketing Sherpa also have extensive case history and statistical evidence about the value of blogs and other tools. Recent McKinsey research reveals that companies that have bought into Web 2.0 marketing are planning to expand their commitment this year. In my view, negative feedback is an overrated problem.  Every company has some unhappy customers, and most people understand that that’s part of the landscape.  In most cases, critics can be converted to satisfied customers or even fans with a little hand-holding and special attention.  There is overwhelming evidence that simply responding to disgruntled customers with a message that shows you’re listening can put to bed the vast majority of complaints.  If a company does have a customer satisfaction problem, however, it is wise to step lightly into new media.  Be prepared for negativity and be ready to respond to each and every comment.  You’ll quickly find that criticism will diminish as you demonstrate responsiveness. Q: Does social media marketing apply more to medium and larger businesses than to small businesses? A: In my experience, small businesses are more active, creative and effective at leveraging social media marketing than big companies.  There are many reasons for this, including the compelling cost advantages, the speed and responsiveness of small organizations, their willingness to engage directly with individual customers and the accessibility of senior managers.  The University of Massachusetts research I mentioned above found that small businesses are adopting these tools much faster than large ones.  In my own presentations and seminars, I consistently find that small companies are more enthusiastic and responsive to the potential of social media than the big guys.  In fact, large companies tend to excel at finding reasons to AVOID talking to their customers! tag:odeo.com,2009-01-08,23897386 Thu, 08 Jan 2009 04:44:30 -0800 no Blogdigger Media search for web 2.0 Blogging, social media, FAQ, socialnetworks, BusinessBlog http://odeo.com/episodes/23835930-Chad-Davis-speaks-about-Public-Media-in-a-Web-2-0-World Chad Davis is the Director of Content for KNME, the New Mexico PBS station.

Learning is the process of figuring out how the world works. Neurons in the minds of learners forge pathways and form patterns that convert the booming, buzzing cacophony bombarding our senses into the simple vista we call reality. Learning develops new capacities, skills, values, understanding, and preferences. Organisms only stop learning when they die. Learning is not one activity. Itâ??s a dogâ??s breakfast of acquiring skills, information, knowledge, savoir faire, and more. Its dimensions are emotional, cognitive, physical, sensory, and social. The common denominator is that learning enables the learner to function better in his or her environment. The measure of learning is performance at oneâ??s calling and fulfillment in life. Most organisational learning is built on nineteenth-century principles, and these days thatâ??s a formula for disaster.

But training departments rely on offering workshops and courses, and CLOs fixate on “learning management systems.” These event-driven things are necessary, but they are a small part of improving organizational learning and performance. Rather than investing in new content and control systems, learning leaders will get a higher return from nurturing the natural pathways to learning that already exist in their organizations. I treat myself to a new car: BMW 128i. Discussed ROI of Learning at CLO Symposium in San Diego Led learning track on Future of Talent retreat in Tiburon.

Participated in international panel on engineering excellence at a castle outside of Aachen Learning for the 21st Century appears in Learning Technologies. Learning is the process of figuring out how the world works. Neurons in the minds of learners forge pathways and form patterns that convert the booming, buzzing cacophony bombarding our senses into the simple vista we call reality. Learning develops new capacities, skills, values, understanding, and preferences. Organisms only stop learning when they die. Learning is not one activity. Itâ??s a dogâ??s breakfast of acquiring skills, information, knowledge, savoir faire, and more. Its dimensions are emotional, cognitive, physical, sensory, and social. The common denominator is that learning enables the learner to function better in his or her environment. The measure of learning is performance at oneâ??s calling and fulfillment in life. Most organisational learning is built on nineteenth-century principles, and these days thatâ??s a formula for disaster.

Earlier this week, the OU quietly opened up it’s new social site - Platform - with a mailing going out today to inform students and alumni about it’s availability… …and at first sight, it’s looking really good: As a distance learning institution, our students potentially miss out on the sense of community that you get as a student in a traditional university, although we work hard at engaging students in online forums at a course level and the students assocation (OUSA) try to support general interest groups again with online forums. At a regional and local level, course tutorials offer students a chance to meet face to face, (although there is an increasing number of wholly online courses) and our students also take it on themselves to create their own local groups, Facebook groups, and so on. So I’m guessing that one of the functions of the Platform site is to help develop the wider community feeling that membership of a university provides, alongside the course cohort communities. But more than that - the site is open to anyone, whether or not they are a current student or part of the OU alumni. And there’s no hard sell… So what’s on Platform? The front page is a general news page, that also currently includes a couple of “interactive” features, specifically a poll and a Youtube video from one of the OU View channels on Youtube (The Open University, OU Life or OU Learn). (I assume that the polls, and maybe the video, will change on a regular basis?) There’s also what looks like a “learning fact of the day” panel that provides a link to an actual “course sales” page in a reasonably un-intrusive way. Just in passing, it’s worth comparing this panel with the OU “Learning Fact of the Day” widget, which actually links through to an OpenLearn course from which the fact was pulled, rather than driving the viewer to a page on the course selling catalogue. Something that is not obviously on the site is a schedule of OU/BBC programmes, or even an OU/BBC iPlayer channel? Maybe that’s because the placement of this site in comparison to the open2.net site is not fully clear yet? Certainly I could see Platform cannibalising open2’s traffic if Platform started publicising OU/BBC programmes? But Open2 is looking rather tired… (That said, things are happening on that site. For example, the site is starting to include extra video features around our broadcast TV programmes, as the Barristers wraparound site shows (if you can manage to navigate round it to actually find the content, that is ;-) and commenting around the programme pages is slowly starting to take off (see for example the comments around the James May’s Big Ideas: Man-Machine programme). But back to the Platform site… The News tab links to a set of news stories I guess created by OU staff (at the moment?). And I’m guessing there’ll be a mix of text stories as well as audio packages. (Though I do take issue with calling linked to audio a “podcast”, I do have to admit;-) Two more things to note about that audio link: firstly, it’s a link rather than an embedded player plus a link - clicking the link opened a player in a new window on my browser. That’s a shame… it would have been much neater if there was an embedded player there. Secondly, here’s where it’s pointing to: http://podcast.open.ac.uk/feeds/platform/20081124T124715_is_reality_tv_ruining_music.mp3. The OU podcast site (which is: a) still not out of testing/really launched yet, and b) not the OU iTunesU site. (I’m not sure how much the content from those sites will overlap). And from a little tweet I heard a week or two ago, the podcast site actually uses Amazon S3 for storage and delivery… A few other things to notice about the News pages - ratings, tagging and comments are all available… (I’m not sure what the moderation policy is, w.g. whether or not Platform staffers are actively moderating (= not scaleable/sustainable in the long run, if the site takes off?) or using a lazy approach (report this post). Same with the tags - e.g. if people use inappropriate or offensive tags, can these be moderated, deleted? The Blogs area links to a set of blogs on different topics. At the moment this looks like they’ve commissioned people to write posts for the Platform blogs (Open2 uses a similar sort of approach for their topic blogs), so it’ll be interesting to see how that plays out. Certainly I don’t fully engage with writing posts to the Open2 Science and Technology blog, for a variety of reasons (I don’t like the blog engine they use; posts need to go through an editorial policy that strips out movies and maps in case of rights issues, but lets typos through that I can’t go in and change once the post is published, the traffic is lousy compared to the views I can get posting here on OIUseful.info etc etc). Each blog appears to have it’s own RSS feed, which is good (I haven’t checked which feed type they went for… it would be nice to think it was Atom). The call to action around the feed - “Get Updates” - is well chosen, I think, and it’s nice that feed autodiscovery is enabled. I have to admit that the feed URL looks a bit odd, though… http://www.open.ac.uk/platform/blogs/alumni/%2A/%2A/feed. Hmm… (%2A renders as * if you hover over the URL in the browser status window) The Campus area looks to be an attempt to bring something of the OU campus alive, with voices and tales from people who work there. (I’m guessing this part of the are will feed from the OUlife Youtube channel and maybe the research channel, when it launches?). If anywhere, this is the page on the Platform site that looks most like the place that is linking out to other OU web properties on the “main” OU website. In which guess, I guess it’s really an info point? And many respects, the thing that is closest to a traditional university homepage (although, err, Where is the Open University Homepage??). The Join In area is where forums can be found (also linked to as “Forums” from the front page, I think? The Timeout area is where the games are… ;-) The OU actually has quite a long history of releasing games (e.g. here’s a round-up I did a couple of years ago: OU Online Games and Interactives), but the explosion in casual game formats and libraries means that they must be far easier (=quicker and cheaper) to make now, as well as being more acceptable, maybe? Finally, it’s worth mentioning that the commenting and “joining in” features require you to login. There are two huge things happening here. Firstly, to login to the site, you don’t need to be a member of the OU (that is, you don’t need to be staff, student, or alumni). Secondly, you can - if you want - login in OpenID: The OU has actually been running an experimental OU OpenID server for sometime, which allows anyone with OU credentials to use those credentials as an OpenID, but as far as I know, this is one of the first production service running on the open.ac.uk domain that lets users in with an OpenID, although take note here - the OpenID doesn’t let you in to any OU authenticated areas: it’s just for Platform. (I’m not sure if Cloudworks or Cohere do OpenID yet?) Although there’s little customisation you can do as a virtue of registering - the benefits arise from being able to comment, and join in the forums - the site design certainly has the look and feel of a site that might, one day, let you drag and drop panels around, and rearrange the page furniture webtop fashion. (Or maybe we need to clarify the widget strategy first?!) As yet, there’s no link to the platform site from the Open University homepage, so it’ll be interesting to see how the relationship between the OU homepage and the platform homepage evolves over the coming weeks and months (and also how the relationship between Platform and open2 are managed?). Seeing how the relationship between Platform and the new generation of departmental websites will evolve over time will also be an interesting one. For example, my own Communication and Systems Department homepage is experimenting with “voices from the department” with a range of blog and audio content, and the team responsible are also looking for ways to make the site a destination site around communication related technologies (hence the “Gadgets” area): Hmm - maybe I should offer to do a “speedmash” or “half hour hack” area for them?;-) And finally, for a review of some “older” OU 2.0 services, Brian Kelly did a write up some time ago: The Open Universityâ??s Portfolio Of Web 2.0 Services. You can find links to most of them here: /use - From us, to you, and back again. PS in case you’re wondering, I think I’m correct in saying that the OU Platform site is built on Drupal… PPS Brilliant job folks - it’ll be interesting to see how people engage with it…        Earlier this week, the OU quietly opened up it’s new social site - Platform - with a mailing going out today to inform students and alumni about it’s availability… …and at first sight, it’s looking really good: As a distance learning institution, our students potentially miss out on the sense of community that you get as a student in a traditional university, although we work hard at engaging students in online forums at a course level and the students assocation (OUSA) try to support general interest groups again with online forums. At a regional and local level, course tutorials offer students a chance to meet face to face, (although there is an increasing number of wholly online courses) and our students also take it on themselves to create their own local groups, Facebook groups, and so on. So I’m guessing that one of the functions of the Platform site is to help develop the wider community feeling that membership of a university provides, alongside the course cohort communities. But more than that - the site is open to anyone, whether or not they are a current student or part of the OU alumni. And there’s no hard sell… So what’s on Platform? The front page is a general news page, that also currently includes a couple of “interactive” features, specifically a poll and a Youtube video from one of the OU View channels on Youtube (The Open University, OU Life or OU Learn). (I assume that the polls, and maybe the video, will change on a regular basis?) There’s also what looks like a “learning fact of the day” panel that provides a link to an actual “course sales” page in a reasonably un-intrusive way. Just in passing, it’s worth comparing this panel with the OU “Learning Fact of the Day” widget, which actually links through to an OpenLearn course from which the fact was pulled, rather than driving the viewer to a page on the course selling catalogue. Something that is not obviously on the site is a schedule of OU/BBC programmes, or even an OU/BBC iPlayer channel? Maybe that’s because the placement of this site in comparison to the open2.net site is not fully clear yet? Certainly I could see Platform cannibalising open2’s traffic if Platform started publicising OU/BBC programmes? But Open2 is looking rather tired… (That said, things are happening on that site. For example, the site is starting to include extra video features around our broadcast TV programmes, as the Barristers wraparound site shows (if you can manage to navigate round it to actually find the content, that is ;-) and commenting around the programme pages is slowly starting to take off (see for example the comments around the James May’s Big Ideas: Man-Machine programme). But back to the Platform site… The News tab links to a set of news stories I guess created by OU staff (at the moment?). And I’m guessing there’ll be a mix of text stories as well as audio packages. (Though I do take issue with calling linked to audio a “podcast”, I do have to admit;-) Two more things to note about that audio link: firstly, it’s a link rather than an embedded player plus a link - clicking the link opened a player in a new window on my browser. That’s a shame… it would have been much neater if there was an embedded player there. Secondly, here’s where it’s pointing to: http://podcast.open.ac.uk/feeds/platform/20081124T124715_is_reality_tv_ruining_music.mp3. The OU podcast site (which is: a) still not out of testing/really launched yet, and b) not the OU iTunesU site. (I’m not sure how much the content from those sites will overlap). And from a little tweet I heard a week or two ago, the podcast site actually uses Amazon S3 for storage and delivery… A few other things to notice about the News pages - ratings, tagging and comments are all available… (I’m not sure what the moderation policy is, w.g. whether or not Platform staffers are actively moderating (= not scaleable/sustainable in the long run, if the site takes off?) or using a lazy approach (report this post). Same with the tags - e.g. if people use inappropriate or offensive tags, can these be moderated, deleted? The Blogs area links to a set of blogs on different topics. At the moment this looks like they’ve commissioned people to write posts for the Platform blogs (Open2 uses a similar sort of approach for their topic blogs), so it’ll be interesting to see how that plays out. Certainly I don’t fully engage with writing posts to the Open2 Science and Technology blog, for a variety of reasons (I don’t like the blog engine they use; posts need to go through an editorial policy that strips out movies and maps in case of rights issues, but lets typos through that I can’t go in and change once the post is published, the traffic is lousy compared to the views I can get posting here on OIUseful.info etc etc). Each blog appears to have it’s own RSS feed, which is good (I haven’t checked which feed type they went for… it would be nice to think it was Atom). The call to action around the feed - “Get Updates” - is well chosen, I think, and it’s nice that feed autodiscovery is enabled.
