About the Session
'Amplified events' can enhance face-to-face
events by exploiting networked technologies to
widen participation to remote participants and
'time-shifting' events.
This session will review approaches which
have been taken at various events.
The session will explore the reasons for such
approaches, address possible concerns and
outline various business models, policies and
emerging technologies which can be used to
maximise the benefits of amplified events.

Real-time peer review: 2003
'Hot' or Not? Welcome to real-time peer review
The keynote speaker was clear. He informed his
audience during [the WWW 2003 conference] that
none other than Tim Berners-Lee … had first referred
to embedded menus as hot links.
A few minutes later, while the speaker was still in full
flow, delegates … learnt that this was not the case, at
least as Berners-Lee himself remembers it.
He had joined the electronic discussion that was
accompanying the lecture and in a brief message …
stated: "I didn't call them 'hot'. I just called them links."

THE Article - Concerns
Potential Negative Aspects:
“about 10 per cent of the audience had laptops one person was heard to say that the noise of
tapping keyboards drowned the speaker out at
the back of the room. … it can be very distracting
having someone typing quickly and reading beside
you, rather than watching the speaker”
“There can also be a feeling of being excluded …
by not being part of a particular online group”
“It is probable that the speakers will find it hardest
to adjust. It may be disconcerting to know that
members of your audience are, as you speak, using
the web to look at your CV, past work and
checking any data that seems a bit dubious”
History
THE Article - Conclusions
Conclusions:
“… these technologies are likely to be beneficial.
The added possibilities for collective learning and
analysis, comprehensive notes with insights and
links, often far more extensive than the speaker
might have, are advantages previously
unimaginable.
Perhaps the richest potential lies in the interaction
between members of the audience, particularly if
you believe that learning and the generation of
knowledge are active, engaging and social
processes
