My research group spent a successful day this week brainstorming and developing projects together.
We began by considering what we enjoy about research, and found that social and affective factors are hugely important to us. We wanted to carry out joyful research - visionary research - research that would engage us and make a difference to the world.

From LawFont:

I don't normally write posts that just repost stuff from elsewhere, but I thought this was interesting... a message I received via a blog feed from the MCT (Maths, Computing and Technology) "link librarian' in the OU Library:
Withdrawal of British Standards print stock.
No votes yet

Okay, another take on the Digital Worlds uncourse blog trackback graph... To what extent do the emergent structures "respect" my use of blog categories (which have RSS feeds associated with them, and so are automatically published as discrete linear lists in their own right?)

Over the last few weeks, I've started thinking about the "social life of URL's" and by extension the "social life of OU course codes".
