I'd consider today's experiment, with the 'hangout' feature of the G+ tools, a success. I managed to reverse the polarity on the wireless flux capacitor during the first tutorial in order to get the laptop to be friends with G+ and broadcast during the second tutorial block at 1pm until 2pm. Thanks to Courtney Collins, Elizabeth Murray, Airlie Slessar who joined us online in the G+ experiment.
It seems the iPad can join active ‘hangout’ sessions but not initiate ones, and I’m not sure about the Android side of things yet. I did record the audio on the tutes via the iPad and will see about getting that uploaded to the DSO site.
I’m looking forward to the lecture tomorrow and testing out the new recording software for the iLecture series. I’m thinking about posting the material to YouTube or Vimeo and/or Apple podcast network, and will investigate further.
I’m also looking forward to the adding all the new blogs to the list this week, and a student (I should have noted the name) pointed out that we will probably need accounts for both Blogger and Wordpress in order to leave comments as part of the peer review process but having a blogger account will automatically connect you to gMail and G+ which is useful for the live tutorials and access to Google docs. More soon.
