The 36th edition of the conference list covers selected events that primarily focus on the use of technology in educational settings and on teaching, learning, and educational administration. Only listings until May 2017 are complete as dates, locations, or Internet addresses (URLs) were not available for a number of events held from June 2017 onward. In order to protect the privacy of individuals, only URLs are used in the listing as this enables readers of the list to obtain event information without submitting their e-mail addresses to anyone. A significant challenge during the assembly of this list is incomplete or conflicting information on websites and the lack of a link between conference websites from one year to the next.

Learning2gether 342 in Hangout on Air Vance Stevens and Jeff Lebow - What is going on with HoA, and what to do about it?

Webheadsinaction.org - Mon, 2016-10-03 14:08

Sunday, August 28, 2016 - 1400 UTC / GMT

We had scheduled this as a last Hangout on Air, since HoA was due for the scrap heap. However, we were unable to make the HoA work due to unreadable audio. Jeff and Vance connected on Skype and got clear audio, so it was something wrong with HoA.

Jeff had posted a plan C at http://webheadsinaction.org/live and was able to stream there on YouTube/live (the replacement for HoA after Sept 12, 2016) with voice provided in Skype. Those who came to http://webheadsinaction.org/live were able to find us in Chatwing at http://chatwing.com/vancestev and enter the Skype call that way. So sorry we were unable to communicate this at the time (not enough fingers nor brain cells) but we did get recordings, mine in Camtasia and Jeff's Plan C available at
http://webheadsinaction.org/live, and now archived here.

In the recordings, enjoy Webheads Learning2gether flying by its signature seat-of-its-pants.

What is this about?

According to https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/7083786, Google has announced that Hangouts on Air will no longer function as such after Sept 12, 2016.

What does this mean for us? According to Alan Levine, not much as long as you avoid "encoder land"
http://cogdogblog.com/2016/08/googopoly-game/

Jeff Lebow has come up with a Plan B, and he and Vance will be discussing this development and what it will mean in practice at 1400 UTC on Sunday Aug 28.

Note from Jeff: Plan B might be an overstatement. My understanding is that HOA will still exist, it will just be started from your YouTube Live stream page as shown below.

Not wanting to disappoint by having no razzle-dazzle to play with, I have been fiddling with YouTube's non-Hangout live streaming options - specifically using Open Broadcaster Software as an encoder. Added a Plan C studio below in case there's need.

All are welcome to join us.

Where? Originally scheduled in Google+ Hangout on Air

Alexander Hayes on the Null Hypothesis: On Country, Cyborgs and the Singularity

Webheadsinaction.org - Sat, 2016-08-27 11:17

Learning2gether 341 in Hangout on AirSunday, August 14, 2016 - 1230 UTC / GMT What was this about?

Alexander Hayes is within six months of completing his dissertation, and before it gets locked away somewhere and forgot about I asked him to spare us an hour and tell us about it.

It won't be the first time Alex has appeared on Learning2gether. In his most recent appearance, where we talked with him about the thesis research in-progress. I introduced him as follows:

Alexander Hayes has been associated with a number of cutting edge education projects over the years, including exploring the potential of StreamFolio, Talking VTE, POV technologies, Drones for Schools, wearable technologies (and the social implications of surveillance, sousveillance, and uberveillance) and most recently, Google Glass through posting his interviews with 60 Google Glass Explorers on YouTube,https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfhVHi9gqg5TLDTvvpVbI89NI5EJirTw8, and hosting the recent Glass Meetup #1 in Canberra.

Alex's previous Learning2gether appearances are listed below

I had almost forgot that Alex was only the third guest speaker in this Learning2gether podcast series as it was just getting started in 2010. At the time he asked us to have a look at his dissertation application plan entitled The Application of Location Enabled Body Worn Technologies In The Education Sector

https://docs.google.com/document/pub?id=1_TGVgWsJjbx5f0wxLQPSSjdsAluvF2Bgpnk9XMw1K4Q

It explores ramifications of the "rapid uptake of body worn, location enabled, mobile network accessible solutions for rich media creation and connection"

More recently I was honored to be interviewed as a small part of the data set in his extensive research, and I'm looking forward now to hearing about how all of that data have coalesced into a thesis soon to be locked away in a cabinet for no one to read :-) and what it all has to do with country, cyborgs, and singularity.
