Hello, and welcome to the Runaway Objects Wiki! This is the place to find information and resources from the ALT-C 2007 Confererence Workshop on "Runaway Objects: Preserving Our Digital Belongings", held at the EMCC at the University of Nottingham, on 5 September 2007.

The aim of the workshop was to empower learning technology practitioners and staff working in the Higher/Further Education contexts to undertake their own innovative research projects concerning social dimensions of ICT use in education. Topics of particular interest include:

• Digital belongings: dealing with personally meaningful digital objects / artefacts
• Information overload
• Privacy, ethics, and data protection
• Training, mentoring and staff development

Workshop slides are attached at the bottom of this page (PPT format).

Thanks to everyone who participated on the day, and helped to make it an interesting and fruitful session!
