Guest Presenter: David Bogen
About the Lunch Topic: Social software has recently surged in popularity around easy-to-use open source tools for web journaling, personal profiling, and social networking. Like their predecessors, these new tools seem readily adaptable to educational settings where the aggregation and vetting of information by social communities represents a core practice. In this talk I will report on two projects involving the use of groupware in educational settings: a weblog and portfolio system at Emerson College and a recently launched on-line forum, the AcademicCommons.org. I will discuss the underlying principles and the challenges involved in the design and implementation of social software environments of this kind.
About the Guest Presenter: David Bogen directs the Institute for Liberal Arts and Interdisciplinary Studies at Emerson College. Dr. Bogen received his Ph.D. in sociology from Boston University. He is the author of two books, as well as numerous articles, book chapters, and reviews that explore the intersection of language, technology, and everyday orders of social practice. His most recent work focuses on social, organizational, and perceptual issues in the design of computer mediated interactive environments.
All lunches take place in P113 from 12:30-1:30 and are limited to 15 participants. Please call PTRC at x2736 or register online at http://ptrc.simmons.edu.
