KenYersel is currently bringing together interested stakeholders in creating an easily accessible range of training materials for open source office-related products. We are keen on producing a range of training material and consultancy for the OpenOffice range.
KenYersel are currently experimenting with YouTube, Facebook and a variety of other Web2.0 technologies to enhance the discussion experience for participants who can only take part online. Using tools such as Compendium and our own software, we hope that this will allow users to enjoy the structured experience of a KenYersel discussion while making use of the multimedia opportunities which Web2.0 can provide.
We have just finished the first draft of the Trident Debate map! This is a map of the discussion on the Nuclear Peace Blog. It is also a test-run of our exciting and new web software that Lucas has recently been developing. At the moment you can comment on the map and we will be adding and integrating you comments. We would also love comments on the usability of the map system. In the future we hope to allow users you to directly edit and update the maps in a Wiki-like way. Until then, please do send us any thoughts or feedback.
The paper “Towards e-Participation Using Argument Visualisation and Philosophical Inquiry” was presented at the annual EGOV track of the DEXA conference, where we discussed the KenYersel methodology with a group of academics from a variety of fields.
We are hosting a blog to discuss and consolidate the debate on Nuclear issues, from disarmament to development. We’d love to hear your comments and thoughts. We are also developing some software to let you help us build up a map of these issues.
