Pete Woodbridge Research Channel

The liquid books project is an approach to academic publishing that utilises free content, open learning and research resources available on the web. This video introduces the liquid theory reader.

Created with Gary Hall, Clare Birchall, Pete Woodbridge and Paul Allender.

The viral education project (vir-ed) is a media research project looking at how we can adopt creative dissemination strategies from web 2.0 philosophy to engage people in higher education and learning on the social web.

It is looking into the way that we can leverage fragmented, liquid and ambient web viewing narratives to engage students, teachers and researchers in innovative ways of thinking about academic publishing.

this is the first cut of an essay film about technology and control, it describes google, but a lot of it refers to the internet itself and how it has become alligned with making us think in the last few years.

it has some concerns in it about digital imperialism, i think that we need to question the authorities that have such a massive impact on our lives and the way we experience everything (almost). This used to be the news folk like the murdochs, the bbc and the cnns of the world. But this has moved to the web folk.

The book in the middle is Laurence Lessig free culture.

i will finish it soon, the title comes from a marx quote and there is a foucault, siegel and a bell quote in there too.

The government in the UK is spending millions on trying to open up education opportunities to more people.

The labour party have both put education at the heart of their political agendas. The result, it seems, is a bigger gap between the rich and poor and a Britain with decreased opportunities and less choice for those on lower incomes.

Do the people who run the education system really care about its inherent inequality? Or is the education system just reproducing inequalities in our country?
