As I wrote last week<\/a>, I have been co-organising the Inspiring Digital Engagement Festival in Sheffield and I wanted to make an eBook for it to try to capture participants feelings and views around digital technologies, digital inclusion, engagement and the festival itself. Thanks to Giles, these eBooks were printed through bookleteer’s\u00a0PPOD service<\/a> and ready for me to take to Sheffield on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The eBook was imaginatively titled ‘Inspiring Digital Engagement Festival<\/em>‘ and consisted of 14 pages with the first page being an introduction and the last page providing space for comments and observations. Pages 3 and 4 were a double-page showing the programme for the day and this was so useful! It helped people anticipate the order in which things would happen and figure out who they were listening to at that moment.<\/p>\n

The rest of the eBook was filled with a selection of open-ended questions. Questions included ‘How do you spend your time?<\/em>‘, ‘Who owns digital space? What are the limitations, restrictions or edges?<\/em>‘ and ‘What unexpected pleasures did today bring?<\/em>‘ If you’re a member of bookleteer you can download the eBook here<\/a> if you’re interested in seeing all of the questions we used.. (If you’re not a member you can sign up here!<\/a>)<\/p>\n

The eBooks were handed out as people arrived at the event – you can see them on our registration ‘desk’ in the photo above… We had designed a selection of micro-activities to take place throughout the day which would have led people into filling in the eBooks individually and collaboratively. Of course, we ran late and some of these activities were cut, however, in the closing minutes of the festival we asked people to turn to their neighbour and to fill in their eBook together.<\/p>\n

While the eBooks seemed too seductive for people to want to give them back to us the few that we have show such thoughtful answers and leading questions that I would love to see the rest and I feel that using the eBook for reflection and evaluation was successful and certainly something I would use again – though hopefully with more time to give to it throughout the event.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
