Open University seminar

I was invited to present this seminar titled 'The Ultraversity Project' at the Open University.

When	Jan 19, 2007
Where	Milton Keynes

These are the slides I presented.

I was flattered (on behalf of the Ultraversity team) when John Naughton made the point that on the evidence I presented, Ultraversity had got the online community right, whereas the Open University so far had not. I found this ironic since my own enthusiasm for online community for learning had begun with experiments reported by the Open University dating back fifteen years before!

Lewis Carroll describes a fictional map that had:

"the scale of a mile to the mile."

A character notes some practical difficulties with such a map and states that:

"we now use the country itself, as its own map, and I assure you it does nearly as well."
— Sylvie and Bruno Concluded, Lewis Carroll, 1893
