Call for contributions to workshop - CSCL research - video data!

InterMedia, University of Oslo, 20-21st November 2007

The focus of the workshop will be on work-in-progress. In line with this, three types of contributions are called for: a) presentations of working papers and the video data used, b) pure data sessions, and c) a few papers that deal with methodological themes.

In the first two cases, presenters will be expected to bring video data for collaborative analysis and discussion as part of their presentations. Due to the detailed types of analyses that are the theme of this workshop, it is necessary to keep video clips to a maximum of 2-3 minutes.  

Please note that this is a workshop, and that the sessions are not regular paper-presentations. The time for introductory presentation of papers or data will be 5 minutes, followed by about forty minutes of discussion. It is thus necessary for participants to read and view transcriptions before the workshop. For every session there will be two main discussants who introduce the general discussion.

Abstracts of working papers, as well as descriptions of video material you wish to present, are to be sent to the organisers by deadline September 20th. Upon acceptance, working papers and transcripts of the corresponding video clips, alternatively (if no paper is to be presented) only transcripts are to be sent to organisers by the second deadline October 20th. This material will then be made available to participants before the workshop.

Transcriptions are (minimally) to contain speech and explanations of references to events not visible or otherwise incomprehensible to the. The main language of the workshop will be English, but it will also be possible to present video data in other languages, provided that there are transcripts both in the particular language and English translations.

Due to the nature of the workshop, which is intended to involve intense group discussions, no more than about 25 participants will be accepted. Participants will be selected on the basis of the relevance of their research projects to the central themes of the workshop, and in what way they can be expected to benefit and/or contribute to the workshop.
