Mobile social media, originally uploaded by It’s a mobile world.

I’m taking a mediated course about mobile social media connecting Växjö / Tampere / Pori and myself in Stockholm.
We are using online collaboration tools (nothing advance, file sharing, forums..) and videoconference.I loaned this star-trek looking tandberg machine from Leif Handberg and it worked really fine. Good quality of sound and image. A bit difficult to engage as I was still in my office. Does the context matter that much? Do I need to be in a classroom to feel that I’m attending a lecture? Or is it just getting used to it? Or maybe I need a 50 inches immersion screen..
I will write more about the course and the experience of being a mediated student.
