@batete @metaself on embodiment - what do we mean by the term? what does Drefyus mean? Are we disagreeing with his definition? #mscidel
What were the good points in Dreyfus? @dianestandring #mscidel
ah but what do you mean by knowledge? RT:@dianestandring #mscidel the arguments depend on what you want students to do with the knolwedge...
#mscidel Surely the arguments depend on what you want students to do with the knolwedge they are ? learning ? receiving

Surely the internet / web embodies communication with learning as a subset. Is Dreyfus really discussing e-pedagogy? #mscidel
Hope Dreyfus isn't following #mscidel as some of his ideas may be un picked!
@batate the embodiment argument is relevant - but I think it's simply misplaced. His argument lacks any real granular interrogation #mscidel
RT @batate: #mscidel up the coconuts and fire at them approach of Dreyfus - I agree - a one dimensional approach.
#mscidel I think the emphaais on embodiment when online misses many of the points about its usefulness and an augmentation to ourselves
#mscidel I am not keen on the overrstated assumption based assertions and then stand up the coconuts and fire at them approach of Dreyfus
160 characters :() difficult - tweets we're tests for this week twittorial :) #mscidel
Dreyfus appears to view online presence as an entity parallel to himself - it's the opposite digital space embodies communication #mscidel
RT @claraoshea: not just because of the name? De/i-vine? :) Yeah couldn't belive it when I read it De/i-vine?:) very entertaining! #mscidel
not just because of the name? De/i-vine? :) RT: @metaself: Love the idea of a 'Divine' pedagogy - digital geo-space - omnipresent #mscidel
@metaself (kudos on kicking things off) What do you mean by 'digital geo-space'? In what ways r u questioning Dreyfus on ubiquity? #mscidel
Love the idea of a 'Divine' pedagogy - digital geo-space - omnipresent #mscidel #mscel
Questioning the Dreyfus 'Embodiment' argument - with relation to the ubiquitous nature of digital geo-space #mscidel #mscel
Open access research is now more accessible as JISC has developed a new search engine to help academics, students and the general public navigate papers held in the UK’s open access repositories.
JISC has funded the Open University’s Knowledge Media Institute (KMi) to create an innovative new search facility which searches not just the abstract but the full text of the article.
When researchers use current systems like Google Scholar to search academic papers they can find themselves denied access to the full article, particularly when subscription fees are required. They also typically have to search across a number of open access repositories or use searches that harvest data from different sources.
But now, using the COnnecting REpositories tool or CORE, people can search the full text of items held in 142 approved Open Access repositories.
“UK repositories contain a wealth of high quality research papers. This service should help make it easier for researchers to discover and explore this content. CORE is an exciting demonstration of how JISC’s investment in emerging semantic technologies is being harnessed to benefit researchers.”
Once they’ve found what they’re looking for, the CORE system stores these downloads, so that people can still get access to the papers they have found useful even if the original repository is offline.
Andrew McGregor, JISC programme manager, said: “UK repositories contain a wealth of high quality research papers. This service should help make it easier for researchers to discover and explore this content. CORE is an exciting demo
nstration of how JISC’s investment in emerging semantic technologies is being harnessed to benefit researchers.”
CORE is accessible via an online portal, via users’ mobile devices or through repositories and libraries that have integrated CORE with their own search features.
Senior Research Fellow at the Open University, Zdenek Zdrahal, who led the project, said: “The Open University is at the forefront of producing new and innovative advancements in educational resources. CORE is an exciting addition to this history and we believe it will be beneficial to the academic research community and to the OU. There are plans to develop systems further, to aid research.”
CORE is already integrated into The Open University’s research repository, Open Research Online (ORO) which includes more than 18,900 research publications.
Search CORE with your research question.

Some of the books date back as far as the 1500s and, due to their fragile nature, would not be freely available to researchers, but thanks to this digitization project, musicians from around the world can now source the original music free of charge using the Early Music Online website.
Paola Marchionni, programme manager at JISC, said: “The value of this new resource isn’t just in putting the music online – it’s allowing researchers to find the music at their convenience from different access points, such as the project’s website, library catalogues and music databases. The project has also put great effort in opening up the background information, or metadata, behind the individual pieces of music, thus ensuring that researchers can more easily discover these internationally significant compositions.”
Highlights of the collection include church music by the Flemish composer Josquin des Prez and the English musicians Thomas Tallis and William Byrd; drinking-songs from Nuremberg and love-songs from Lyon; lute music from Venice and organ music from Leipzig.
JISC EMBEDDED OBJECT Dr Stephen Rose, from the Department of Music at Royal Holloway, said: “This is an invaluable resource for any musician as it offers many insights into how these early works were originally sung and played. For the first time, musicians now have immediate access to more than 9,000 individual compositions.”
Dr Sandra Tuppen, from the British Library, added: “It's wonderful to be able to share such fantastic musical treasures at the click of a button and make the works available to anyone in the world.”
Dr Rose explained that the British Library had worked with the College’s music department on previous database projects and they were keen to make use of the College’s expertise again.
