Webconferences
From WikiEducator
This is a page for people to list and promote web conferencing in Wikieducator. A web conference is a meeting online, usually through voice applications (Think telephone conference, but through the Internet). We encourage anyone to propose speakers and discussion topics. Even more we encourage people to go ahead and organise a webconference and promote it here. Hopefully we will sustain a continuous webconference on just about anything going on in Wikieducator, from specific page developments, subject areas, and key speakers on just about any topic of interest.
So we can build a record and provide access for people who come late or miss the actual webconference, we ask that you make the effort to record your meeting and post a link to the recording here. We recommend uploading audio files to http://archive.org

The practice of case-loading midwives within the obstetric hospital provides a focus, exposing the contested nature of maternity care and illustrating the way that midwives negotiate this contested terrain. Midwifery practice is described as “making space for childbirth”.

- Infants and bedsharing
Dr Sally Baddock, University of Otago, Dunedin will be talking about her international renowned research into bedsharing. Sally says "We videoed infants and their parents while they bedshared, or slept in a cot overnight in their own homes. We also monitored infant physiology and matched this with the video data to gain a picture of the potential risks and benefits encountered during bedsharing compared to cot sleeping. The results of this study will be presented."

Reflecting on the Wiley Wiki model
June 24, 2008: It seemed timely that a few of us who have tried the Wiley Wiki model for running online courses came together and talked about our experiences. In this recording, (Other formats) Teemu Leinonen, Bronwyn Hegarty and Leigh Blackall talk about their various thoughts on the method of running online courses with a MediaWiki (pioneered by Dave Wiley) with insight and ideas sprouting along the way. See the following links for the examples we talk about. Sorry that Dave Wiley himself could not be there, but we hope the recording will put him in the picture, as well as offer George Siemens and Stephen Downes some food for thought as they embark on their mega course using something like the model.
George Siemens - Curatorial Teaching
George Siemens gave a 15 minute talk on his concept of curatorial teaching. It is a very thought provoking idea and generated quite a lot of good discussion afterwards. (Originally recorded for the Facilitating online communities course, published on the course blog)

Sheryl Nussbaum-Beach - The Art of Building Virtual Communities

Nancy White - looking over our shoulders
This week's guest lecture was a biggy. We were very lucky to have the famous Nancy White talk with us from the lovely Seattle USA on Tuesday 12noon NZST.
Nancy suggested that we watch this animation about Peer Assist before we met. (After you click play, the movie will have to load a little before it starts playing. If you are on dial up, right click and save the movie file to your computer).
It was a very inspiring and engaging talk and Nancy got it in at under 15minutes! That's the best so far :) Here are the recordings:

- MP3 audio of discussion after the talk - 6.3meg / 35min
- Elluminate recording - 1hr, 35min (no password needed, includes discussion about course)

Konrad Glogowski - Classrooms as Third Places
Konrad Glogowski (that's him on the right) joined us for the 2nd in a series of 10 minute lectures relating to the facilitation of online learning communities. In this recording Konrad talks about developing a sense of community and individual presence before attempting formal learning. Konrad talks to his middle school teaching experiences but his research and insight is very applicable across many efforts to develop an online learning community.
