Importing Content from other blog

Hi Chris

How easy is it to import content from my theatre metalwork blog? Do I have to remake the post and upload images or is there a clever shortcut?

Intellectual property rights at UAL

cfollows — Tue, 24 Apr 2012 12:50:18 +0000

Intellectual property rights can be confusing, We've created this forum to encourage open debate and support network for UAL staff and students also see Own-it offers intellectual property (IP) advice http://www.own-it.org/ , information and learning resources for the creative sector. We offer a range of services, from basic to specialist support, through an online enquiries system, online and face-to face seminars and workshops and, where appropriate, surgeries with IP lawyers.

More content on IPR can be seen here: http://process.arts.ac.uk/category/tags/intellectual-property

What are project groups

processarts — Sat, 18 Feb 2012 13:27:29 +0000

Project groups on process.arts provide individuals, project teams, courses, conference groups or communities of interest a place to cluster groups of user generated content together, group forums can also be created. Users outside UAL can create accounts and fully contribute. Groups require primary initiator/s to help set up and steward (support and build) the community of practice, the more active groups will be featured on the front page and on this list. When adding resources please choose a group if relevant from the drop down tab. If you would like to propose a group on process.arts you would like to create and manage please contact elearning-support@arts.ac.uk

process.arts are developing project group sections on its site, these are spaces for groups or individuals to build a network of users and resources in collaboration and along side other process.arts project groups.

Once a community can commit and want to take 'ownership' of a specialist section we can develop this requirement appropriately. The first group to fund development of their project area was Fashion Colloquia - http://process.arts.ac.uk/category/discipline/fashion/fashion-colloquia

The global Fashion Colloquia has integrated this resource into it main project landing page - http://www.fashioncolloquia.com/

Another use case:

DIAL http://dial.myblog.arts.ac.uk/ are quickly growing out of their DIAL blog, as the DIAL groups are beginning to form and develop we need to find a space for these groups to grow.

DIAL would like to add banners and develop these sections for DIAL resource groups on process arts and create branded areas similar to how we did with this group, so all posts in this section will be under the project banners similar to what we did here - http://process.arts.ac.uk/category/discipline/fashion/fashion-colloquia

As process arts is a community led project and is an unfunded project DIAL will pay the process.arts developer days via the DIAL artstemps account to work on developing their group areas for DIAL.

Next steps ... approach we can take:

Once the local community is fully established in the existing sections e.g Fashion Colloquia, DIAL etc section on process.arts We can start planning the development of the possible satellite specialist sites, this site would be an agile development project with the specialist community and the wider process.arts community and could address the following issues:

Creating the first unique bespoke satellite web space for a specialist area with links and integration (advanced search/CSS etc) to the process.arts site and community

The new connected space could have full user access (open to all)

Specific design and functionality to the accommodate the community needs but remain connected to the process.arts community and wider networks/ make use of the wider arts network.

Create an exemplar for sustainable growth of subject specific social/academic content communities.

What is process.arts

processarts — Fri, 17 Feb 2012 20:27:17 +0000

process.arts is an ongoing agile web development project which relays fully on community participation to keep it going, the project is currently a voluntary managed project no one is employed to support this service at present although we hope to move process.arts into a funnded service in the future.

The overall concept is to increase community of voluntary participants to allow specialist sections/subjects and areas of the site to develop independently. The process.arts site is a good proof of concept of a sustainable social academic media content community.

2006: Began to explore how UAL can document students and staff working in studios

2007/8: The site was developed during a 10 day secondment at CLTAD Centre for Learning and teaching in Art and Design

2009: process.arts was given free space on the UAL server to run a pilot

2009: The concept and participation functionality was developed during a 25 day UAL fellowship

2010: 3.5k CLIP CETL funding to support a pilot

2011: 2011: 5k ALTO project funding to update and develop the drupal code and UAL agreed a 3 year free server commitment

The Future Specialist section development, process.arts would like to explore the opportunities and concepts to the take process.arts to its next level of development. Once a community can commit and want to take 'ownership' of a specialist section we can develop this requirement appropriately. Approach we can take: Once the local community is fully established in the existing sections e.g fashion, animation etc section on process.arts We can start planning the development of the possible satellite specialist sites, this site would be an agile development project with the specialist community and the wider process.arts community and could address the following issues: Creating the first unique bespoke satellite web space for a specialist area with links and integration (advanced search/CSS etc) to the process.arts site and community - The new connected space could have full user access (open to all) Specific design and functionality to the accommodate the community needs but remain connected to the process.arts community and wider networks.
