ELOGeo

Posted by Addy Pope on September 25, 2013

OK, so some presentations are appearing on ELOGeo which is great but........

What is the plan for the audio/screen capture we got at the event?  We need to ensure we don't end up with duplicates.  I have just had a colleague asking why the audio was not on the presentation...... they thought that the presentations in ELOGeo would have sound. 

What is the plan?

And on that note, Jim Jones has requested that his presentation s not included for the following reasons:

"I would have a very last request. In my sessions it was not able to record video for the presentations, only audio. Since my presentation was about gestures for moving a virtual globe (I explained them mostly live) I believe it wouldn't make much sense in making only audio / slides available. Could you please make sure my talk is not going to be published? "

I think Andrew Ross has offered to do a google hangout with any presenters where the presentation recording didn't work for some reason. This might be an opportunity for Jim to redo it?

elo geo allows people to search for (and download?) the slides and notes from presentations while the recordings are literally that you get to watch the slides and listen to the talk (sort of like being in the room but without the speaker)

Ideally we should be linking the two repositories together via the program in our web site. Note I said ideally

Assuming that Andrew is posting the video recordings online somewhere, perhaps the easiest approach is to ask presenters to find their own recording there, and add a link to that into their elogeo submission (assuming this is doable ... I just submitted my first set of slides, not sure if I can go back and edit it after the fact?).

Andrew is busy uploading videos to youtube in a FOSS4G playlist http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLWW0CjV-TafaBjkroiOxcQw8NdOQ_fhu2 All are tagged as well. He says it might be a bit unstable until they are all uploaded, and he's having to manually edit the metadata to include the correct author, title etc- as work allows

Peter Batty on September 25, 2013:

I had a quick look at youtube (partly to see if my presentation was there yet), and noticed that none of the presentations seem to have the author name included (as far as I could see), just the title. Not sure if Andrew is planning to add this but I think it would be useful to have - am sure plenty of people would like to search by author. Maybe this is in the works but might be worth checking with him.

Jo Cook on September 25, 2013:

Andrew told me that he's adding the metadata when he can, but it's a manual process as time and real work permits...

Certainly, to re-iterate, the two systems are for different purposes, although those are similar in this instance. ELOGeo is there as an archive of re-usable teaching & learning materials, albeit essentially presentations & workshop docs in the main part. Any materials are uploaded with a CC-by-SA licence for re-use.

The videos are specific records of this event. They may of course be useful to play to an audience (as the licence permits) but are more static.

We're working on ELOGeo at the moment, and particularly up to Christmas, to allow better tagging, versioning and lifecycle management of the contents.
