Networked Knowledge Objects

Much teaching practice that looks to video and blogging, including the examples offered by pod and video casting, confuses the affordances of blogging (what makes blogging successful and qualitatively different to other writing practices) with ease of publication, and in doing so replicates old media paradigms of video in new media contexts. However, for video to be successfully integrated in converged online environments it requires similar affordances to those identified and established in educational blogging. Hence, video needs to become granular, fragmentary, and something that is 'written with' rather than just a delivery or publication format.
Such a conception of video recognises that the paradigm shift afforded by the World Wide Web, which blogging and its avatars are the latest expression of, is a revolution in writing.

Genuine Rich Media Blogging

I identify which material affordances of networked writing blogs exploit, and then use this as the basis for a critique of video blogging. From this I argue for a different video blog practice where video is more 'blog like' and network aware and porous.
Blogs are a rich, diverse and quintessentially disparate medium expressing the internet as a network of noise, connection, communication and difference.
