PC Pro has reported on how trade shows will soon offer digital locations. Possibly at personal computer price levels. Universities may have studio resources as at Bournemouth. Phonic FM has a reasonable sound studio. Digital Humanities Lab  might be a radio studio in some ways. AI now has possibilities, campus budgets best option over next year or so.

Since lockdown the option for learning to move online has gone away from campus discussion. Everything back to normal for the student experience. So it seemss, comment welcome. Is there a "golden generation" of school students who learnt during lockdown? What options exist for HE ? 


Russell Prue and NetSupport radio may be able to get an interview with Stephen Heppell to ask about what is happening around the time of BETT.

Gutenberg Parenthesis another update

 During a week of holiday I have started to read "The Gutenberg Parenthesis2 by Jeff Jarvis. that is i started abouthalf way through and concentrated on the ideas about what to do next. So I still have only a vague idea of the chronology. I have another sort of holiday, a fortnight, coming up soon so will try to read it from page one to 250 . Depends on the rain, I may be moving about.


This is not just a copy from the storytelling version of Gutenberg Parenthesis as in the MIT video you can find on YouTube. There is reference to cafe society in London as described by Habermas. Jeff Jarvis seems to defend the internet and social media as we experience them today by casting doubt on just how civilised the London cafe was in reality. Some mean speech, low gossip, bad jokes apparently. 


Continues on Thursday in Wild Show. Main problem for the show is how to combine a radio studio and a cafe. Voice is anothertopic that seems stronger in the storytelling video. Audio books may not be doing as well as sometimes claimed but  there is a dynamic there. I am still puzzled about scale and timing. The closing of the parenthesis is a different date for different places.
