"Dave Elchoness of GoWeb3D who's one of the early pioneers in the Augmented Reality (AR, but not to be confused with Analyst Relations) industry. In this above video he gives a demonstration of how information (often from the web) can be over layed on top of physical locations"

Blending physical & virtual spaces Queensland University of Technology is currently developing OWL, a new web-based student response system, which blends the physical space with a virtual learning environment to create a live collaborative experience. Main Features: * Post comments* Reply to comments* "Like" comments* Poll students* Review archived sessions

This is the homepage for OpenPhysics: an on-going project to build a multimedia, interactive physics textbook for schools in New Zealand and Australia.

"The Public Domain Review is a not-for-profit project dedicated to showcasing the most interesting and unusual out-of-copyright works available online.  All works eventually fall out of copyright - from classic works of art, music and literature, to abandoned drafts, tentative plans, and overlooked fragments. In doing so they enter the public domain, a vast commons of material that everyone is free to enjoy, share and build upon without restriction.  We believe the public domain is an invaluable and indispensable good, which - like our natural environment and our physical heritage - deserves to be explicitly recognised, protected and appreciated.  The Public Domain Review aims to help its readers to explore this rich terrain - like a small exhibition gallery at the entrance of an immense network of archives and storage rooms that lie beyond.

"Zeega is an open-source HTML5 platform for creating interactive documentaries, open archives and inventing new forms of storytelling. Zeega makes it easy to collaboratively produce, curate and publish participatory multimedia projects online, on mobile devices and in physical spaces. Zeega is in early alpha."

"...a new breakthrough update means that not only is its physical footprint massively reduced, but also its cost. Depending on the amount of storage space required for files, for less than $50 anyone can now run a PirateBox wireless file-sharing system."

Marcus Wilson on the rise of the new moocs.

"If we think of OERs as we think of physical artifacts, we might focus on their design, production, storage and distribution. We could quantify their number, calculate their popularity, and track their use. However, in open, distributed, networked learning environments, the emphasis is not be on the resources but on the engagement between participants who create, use, modify, and share experiences."

"...a long video from November 2009 in which Eric Mazur, who teaches physics at Harvard, describes the main innovations he has made in how he runs his courses - and the painstaking empirical research that he has used to guide these changes. "

Practical tips to maintain teaching, learning and business operations during circumstances where staff or learners are unable to physically spend time on campus.

Participation versus acquisition - which one should we choose?

Learning spaces - pages on university sites.

Draw simulations that use gravity.

Open shared local networks in a box. Useful for collaboration and when you don't need the internet getting in the way.

I had a look and think we could do. Might need Rob to do some soldering.

Here's our justification, it turns out "Darts built the device, originally called Freedrop, as an easy way to share files with his students in class. "I was looking for a device that would allow users in the same physical space to easily share files,' he says. It was a hit, but he soon found that his students had other sharing plans. 'Students started sharing non-class related materials, their favorite albums and so on.'"
