Real-time Peer Review: 2003
'Hot' or Not? Welcome to real-time peer reviewThe keynote speaker was clear. He informed his audience during [the WWW 2003 conference] that none other than Tim Berners-Lee … had first referred to embedded menus as hot links. A few minutes later, while the speaker was still in full flow, delegates … learnt that this was not the case, at least as Berners-Lee himself remembers it. He had joined the electronic discussion that was accompanying the lecture and in a brief message … stated: "I didn't call them 'hot'. I just called them links."

THE Article - Concerns
Potential Negative Aspects:“about 10 per cent of the audience had laptops - one person was heard to say that the noise of tapping keyboards drowned the speaker out at the back of the room. … it can be very distracting having someone typing quickly and reading beside you, rather than watching the speaker”“There can also be a feeling of being excluded … by not being part of a particular online group”“It is probable that the speakers will find it hardest to adjust. It may be disconcerting to know that members of your audience are, as you speak, using the web to look at your CV, past work and checking any data that seems a bit dubious”

THE Article - Conclusions
Conclusions:“… these technologies are likely to be beneficial. The added possibilities for collective learning and analysis, comprehensive notes with insights and links, often far more extensive than the speaker might have, are advantages previously unimaginable. Perhaps the richest potential lies in the interaction between members of the audience, particularly if you believe that learning and the generation of knowledge are active, engaging and social processes

What is an Amplified Event
From Wikipedia article:An amplified conference is a conference or similar event in which the talks and discussions at the conference are 'amplified' through use of networked technologies in order to extend the reach of the conference deliberations. The extension of a physical event (or a series of events) through the use of social media tools for expanding access to (aspects of) the event beyond physical and temporal bounds. Such amplification takes place in the context of intent to make the most of the intellectual content, discussion, networking, and discovery initiated by the event through the process of sharing with co-attendees, colleagues, friends and wider informed publics.

Different Approaches
• Amplification of the audiences' voice: Use of Twitter so you can discuss ideas beyond your immediate neighbours.
• Amplification of the speaker's talk: The audience isn't restricted to those who are physically present.
• Amplification of the speaker's slides: Services such as Slideshare enable slides to be easily found, embedded elsewhere & commented on.
• Amplification of feedback to the speaker: Twitter can provide real-time feedback to a speaker.
• Amplification across time: Video & audio technologies can be used to allow a talk to be made available after the event.
• Amplification of a conference's collective memory: Services such as Flickr provide amplification of event memories.
• Amplification of the learning: Following links and discussing speakers ideas can enrich the learning.

Amplified Events: For Organisers (1)
Some advice for event organisers:• Decide level of engagement with event
amplification Ban it (need to make reasons clear) Leave it to others Promote it (e.g. hashtag,
encouragement, …) Manage it
• Publish your event on a social directory (Lanyrd)
![Page 15: Social Reporting: Supporting Amplified Events](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051515/554972bcb4c905d8558b5579/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Using LanyrdFrom an event organisers view Lanyrd can provide:
• An additional opportunity for marketing
• Connections between speakers, organisers and audience
• An event calendar

Amplified Events: For Organisers (2)
Organisers choose to encourage event amplification:• Announce event hashtag early (call for papers; people
travelling; people promoting event; avoid multiple hashtag variants; …) #saoim
• Create Twitter archive early: e.g. twubs.com/saoim
• Consider hashtags for individual talks / parallel sessions:#saoim #p1 or #saoimfutures
Choose whether to:• Pay for an official event amplifier• Look for volunteers to carry out official event amplification• Leave it to participants
After the event:• Process archives• Use as evaluation• Decide whether event amplification was worthwhile
