Themed issue of Campus-Wide Information Systems: Community @ Brighton: a year in the life of Web 2.0 at Brighton

"An' when some punk comes a looking for sound ... Rastaferi goes to ground" - The Clash

I am working with well-known Brighton Business School yardie Asher Rospigliosi who is editing a themed issue of Campus-Wide Information Systems on 'Community @ Brighton: A Year in the Life of Web 2.0 at Brighton'. During the academic year 2006/7 the University of Brighton made the Elgg Social Networking platform available to all 33,000 staff and students as an institutional platform. So Brighton now brings a year’s experience of ubiquitous social networking, which has generated technical data and grounded pedagogic reflection. The proposed issue will draw together a range of pedagogic, social and technical perspectives, to explore the opportunities and problems of nurturing and supporting campus wide social networks.

  • Community@Brighton – implementing a institution-wide social network by Stan Stanier

  • See what I’m saying by Patrick Letchska and Jill Seddon

  • Who spoke first by Asher Rospigliosi, Simon Shurville and Sue Greener

  • Supporting alternate reality games with Elgg by Katie Piatt

  • Using C@B for PDP by Deshinder Gill & Stan Stanier

  • Defining the Field by Glenn Longden-Thurgood & Stan Stanier

  • Reflections on a year of Community by Sue Greener

The issue should be hot off the press in 2008.

I am about to point the authors of these articles at this page, so please don't make any overblown claims (like 'soon come' :-) -- I trust all our british colleagues recognise the inherent irony in this iconic yardspeak!
