 * Contextualisation discussion - group tutorials** this is a long title but treat these not as a presentation but more as a discussion.

These are NOT a formal presentation, it is just you passing round to each other some thoughts and ideas about what you are looking at in terms of contextualisation. We can then all look at it and contribute our own thoughts, ideas, questions etc. The aim is to help each of you to get deeper in understanding your context and benefit from the group perspective.

So you will need to provide some material for us to read, watch, listen to etc. This could be: • a short video of you talking about your contextualisation ideas • an interesting paper you have read • a series of interesting links anything that shows us what you are thinking about in terms of your contextualisation. You need to provide this 5 days before your discussion.

A major part of unit 2 is contextualisation. The specifications for this unit says 'An ability to identify, analyse and address the contextual implications of work'. Therefore you are looking for something that 'locates' you, gives you some sense of your place in the bigger picture. It is a vital part of research and very important for understanding your own work. However, please remember it doesn't have to necessarily be a contemporary context, you may find that a more historical context will be more pertinent.

Add your name to the dates below. (there are 7 of you and 3 weeks, so one week we can have 3 people)
(I am counting only 7 of you as Julian is away on his sailing trip)

2. Pat Here's a short and simple online PDF provided by Dan Chronnel/ SKY TV about interactive TV games which is the main context of my project:

http://www.idate.org/jii04/bio04/actes/Dan_Chronnell.pdf The article is not so recent (Nov 2004) but its description of interactive TV games is clear, complete and still valid after 4 years.
