Looking forward to visual literacy seminar

The following information snet through from Jen Ross ahead of Natasa Lackovic's session on visual literacy next Tuesday. The video doesn't play (something to do with Windows Media Player, apparently) so I'll need to try go in early to work and try and catch it before Tuesday.

"Hello everyone,

I'm writing with details of the "deeper than the eye can see" event with our guest expert, Natasa Lackovic from the University of Nottingham. MSc in E-learning participants, alumni, teachers and friends are all welcome to join in next week on Tuesday 20 November, 7:30-8:30pm UK time.

Before the event, please watch Natasa's introduction and her video lecture. These are available at:

mms://resources.lsri.nottingham.ac.uk/stream/natasa/introduction.wmv
mms://resources.lsri.nottingham.ac.uk/stream/natasa/screencast.wmv
 
These streams will play in a number of clients across various platforms including Windows, Mac and Linux. The open source client VLC worked well for me, and this is a free download from: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/

Then, on the 20th, join us in Blackboard Collaborate for an hour-long discussion session at 7:30pm (UK time). Along with talking with Natasa about her research and presentation, and learning more about visual methods, this should be a great opportunity to get and share some inspiration and insights for your own research projects or assignments.

On the 20th, you can access the Collaborate session through the MSc E-learning Moodle course, or directly at this link:

If you haven't run Collaborate recently, you should check your setup - directions for this below.

If you have any questions, please let me know! 

Looking forward to seeing you online next Tuesday evening!

Jen
