ALONG WITH COLLEAGUES in Auckland, Berlin, Galway, Paris, Salford, and Wollongong, I have joined an international community of practise for the purpose of collaborating with research processes involving sophisticated creative multimedia. It's hashtagged #iCollab.
I spend an hour every Monday evening in a Google Hangout with colleagues bringing unique perspectives to the project. After many of these Hangouts, I try to let the dust settle by doodling in a Moleskine. In the flow plan shown on this blog post, I'm trying to validate how the course material I organise might be enbanced when shared collaboratively online.
During this academic year, I will document how this collaborative dimension will work when viewed through browsers on desktops projected onto walls, on tablets and on small mobile phone screens.
