I know I still owe you minutes from last meeting, but here’s the announcement for our next meeting. I don’t have time to make all the links live, sorry…

——

On Thursday from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm the Eclectic Design Research Group
(EDRG) will be meeting in the ISRL (LIS 340) to explore how interfaces
to digital libraries and institutional repositories are changing, and
to look at some of the more innovative ones. All are invited to attend
and participate.

Thanks to Matt Cordial, Dave Nichols, Jenn Miller, Jenny Benevento,
Richard Urban, and others, we have compiled a list of candidates to
look at in the meeting. Of course, this list is hardly complete, and
we will be unable to look at everything, so feel free to attend our
meeting and provide suggestions for what we should take a look at,
whether or not it already appears on this list. If you feel like
something is missing from the list, please email me.

The list is as follows:

These are a mixed bag. Below are included most of the articles that
have to do with (at least some aspect of) interface design. Regarding
how interesting or useful they may be I make no promises.

In our last meeting we talked about Digital Storytelling, and we invited Professor Kate McDowell to take the lead in our discussions. We ended up talking about a number of issues, including:

• Definitions of digital storytelling:
  • What counts as digital storytelling? What does not?
  • How broad a definition of digital storytelling is possible? E.g., Youtube videos, discussion board posts, radio broadcasts, etc.?
  • What are meaningful possible boundaries for such a definition?
  • What do the people who call their work “digital storytelling” do? What do they consider to be “digital storytelling”?
• Digital storytelling as folklore:
  • Digital storytelling that is folklore; digital storytelling that is not folklore.
  • Patterns of dynamism and conservatism (Toelken) in digital storytelling.
• Examples of digital storytelling, especially digital artifacts specifically referred to by their creators as being digital storytelling
• A description of various dimentions of digital vs. traditional storytelling developed by Professor McDowell.
• Different conceptions of how to approach thinking about digital storytelling:
  • We noticed that there seemed to be some miscommunication going on between those of us who were used to thinking about digital storytelling from a design perspective, and those of us who were used to thinking about digital storytelling from a research or practice perspective.

Below I have included our original invitation, for those interested in our original plan.

Next week Thursday (4/10/2008) we will be holding an Eclectic Design
Research Group (EDRG) meeting from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm in the ISRL (LIS
room 340) on Digital Storytelling. Kate McDowell will be leading the
session, and you are all invited to attend. We can skype in people who
are interested in joining the discussion but are unable to be on
campus (it works ok). Our agenda is as follows:

Kate will present:
–How LEEP storytelling classes are currently taught, including
technology and performance philosophy
–The relative strengths of traditional and digital storytelling, and
how they can be complementary

Then we will be discussing the following stories/sites/topics/articles:

Definitions of Digital Storytelling:

–Center for Digital Storytelling
http://www.storycenter.org/,
especially their highlighted example story:
http://www.storycenter.org/momquicktime.html

–Educational Uses of Digital Storytelling
http://www.coe.uh.edu/digitalstorytelling/default.htm
especially their highlighted example story:
http://www.wmich.edu/pt3/ds/look.html

(with Matt Beth)
–Methods of digital storytelling communication (via LEEP):

e.g., real-time screen captures to distribute (or some other mechanism)
