SciVee: Make your research known
GPEIG Community on SciVee
http://www.scivee.tv/node/6405
GPEIG now has a “community” space on a new web site called SciVee designed for sharing science and research. Our esteemed planning scholar Bruce Stiftel, for instance, talks about global mindedness in a nine minute video clip. Since we uploaded Bruce’s clip to SciVee less than two weeks ago (June 19, 2008), it has been viewed 5050 times. The site is supported by the National Science Foundation, Public Library of Science, San Diego Supercomputer Center, among others. The beauty of this is the “community” aspect—GPEIG has a platform of its own, easily federated with other communities of interest. SciVee provides community tools for researchers of all levels to share their knowledge, connect with their peers, and respond to scientific data and stories. Researchers can see and hear scholars describe their research, join specific interest communities, participate in stimulating discussions, and create a comprehensive multimedia representation of their own research.
To learn more about SciVee, see the articles below. As a part of a UCSD Regional Workbench Consortium effort to build a Global Planning Grid (which ties into GPEIG’s mission), we are collaborating with SciVee to bring urban and regional scholars, educators and activists into this new realm of science communication and collaboration.
