Presented.
First, I had some concerns about the movie itself, technical issues: I really need to re-record the voice-over with a podcasting mic, and I need to figure out how to change the frame rate from 1 fps (which allowed for easier time-line viewing) to 24 fps to have smoother animations. Tips?
Second, audience-based concerns arose as I watched the video with everyone else.
- A voice-over works (it communicates the information and in the presenter's voice; I tried to get either James Earle Jones or Donald Sutherland to sign onto the project, but they had other commitments), but I'm wondering if viewer attention drifts because there isn't a lot of motion -- there are lots of still images/static frames.
- More important, my argument.
Maybe it's the nature of a conference session where the audience can't spend time with a text -- be that watching, listening, or reading -- but I didn't feel that the audience got what I was saying: It's great to try out all these new inscription technologies in writing instruction, but it may not mean that incorporating MediWiki will result in Wikipeida-like, or WoWWiki-like.
You can do only so much in 20 minutes. What to cut? What to develop? AND, do I even have research problem worth investigating.
Finally, I'd like to thank Dan and Alex for not only being great co-panelists but also generating an over-capacity turnout. Thanks for the piggy-back!
