Collaborative Writing Tools for Academics and Students
On October 7, 2014
Sharing documents with colleagues is a fairly seamless process these days. Much more challenging is moving beyond sharing and on to real (even real-time) collaboration. If you have ever collaborated on a document or presentation you will know the problems associated with keeping track of the latest version, particularly if two (or more) people work on it at the same time. Changes get missed, overwritten and it is all just a lot of bother. I have personally used several tools for collaborative writing efforts and there is no perfect option. If you want to delve more deeply have a look at the work of Christof Schöch who’s presentation at Digital Humanities in Australia is linked here. Here is a quick start on 6 tools that I think are worth considering.1. The most basic of the bunch is Google Continue reading […]
LSE Future of Academic Impact Conference
On December 4, 2012
Today I am at the LSE Future of Academic Impact Conference. http://blogs.lse.ac.uk/impactofsocialsciences/impact-conference/ Follow the conference on Twitter at #lseimpact The main conference room is pretty full with about 350 people expected to attend. Obviously it is an issue touching the hearts of academics. There are also a number of breakout sessions. First up for me is the session on Academic Blogging.

RT @JackmanNeil Just a regular reminder that tourism relies enormously on heritage. No good pumping money into the tourism sector without also properly investing in the conservation, understanding and presentation of the very things that tourists want to see.

This is why we badly need a Minister focussed solely on the challenges facing higher education. The system is now in real peril and needs urgent reform. Without a thriving third level to drive breakthrough research and inspire our students future is incredibly bleak. twitter.com/lawlessj/statu…
RIP Oliver E. Williamson. He had an enormous impact on economics and strategy. Not the first to consider it, but probably the reason most people know about transaction cost economics. In other words why we have firms at all. nobelprize.org/prizes/economi…
RT @trishgreenhalgh This came round earlier. From the Canadian government of all places. Sent it to my staff with a hug. pic.twitter.com/iAkFe5ljI3
Decent piece on the very late but still welcome shift in recognising the blindingly obvious. The world has changed since Milton Friedman’s 1970’s simplistic arguments - wow! <dripping cynicism> twitter.com/PaulPolman/sta…
First and definitely not last. This gives staff some chance to prepare the shift from emergency remote teaching and reflect on the complex challenges of online learning. twitter.com/Linda__Connoll…
RT @ChristineBohan This last sentence here from Mr Justice Meenan in the Gemma O'Doherty and John Waters judgment reads like a mantra for these times. pic.twitter.com/cDfNuaV34g
We are all disappointed to cancel the physical conference, but also excited to create opportunities to connect virtually. There will also be a new series of online activities developed for 2020-2021.
