CREW well received at the Lab Group Open Day

Friday, February 22nd, 2008

In a news article entitled “At the cutting edge of educational technology” published on the JISC website on the 21st February, the CREW project was cited among others presented at the Lab Group event held in London this week:

The JISC funded Collaborative Research Events on the Web (CREW) project captures formal and informal information relating to research events, using a variety of approaches including social software, semantic technologies and recording tools. The hope is to enrich the events experience for the participating audience, but also extending opportunities for non-participants, thereby maximising investments within academic and research events.

Nikki Rogers, with colleagues from the ILRT, presented the CREW project among others we have running within the Institute at the moment. There was much interest and it will be interesting to see how the Lab Group providers themselves will present the video clips, photos and “interviews” recorded on the day via the ALT (Association for Learning Technology) website.
