Science Online for the online

For an organization with “Online” in its very name, you’d think Science Online would have no trouble putting the content of their flagship conference, well, online. Well, guess what: collating and summarizing all that information is hard! So if you weren’t at last week’s Science Online Together conference, and even if you were, it’s all too easy to go a little crazy searching through thousands of tweets, Storify sessions, and blog posts to pick out the parts you’d find useful.

With that in mind, I’ve spent far too much time over the past three days putting together the following non-attendee’s guide to Science Online Together 2014. Each of the individual sessions is listed, in chronological order (because no other order really makes sense), along with

  • the session’s facilitator: the person who moderated the session, who is a good contact point for questions
  • the session’s Twitter hashtag, where you can find (almost) all tweets about the session, including those from live-tweeters as well as questions contributed by others and further discussion taking place afterwards
  • the session’s Storify page(s), if there is one or more than one, which consists of a selection of relevant tweets plus commentary
  • for those sessions I attended, the blog post I wrote containing a brief recap
  • anything else I know of that constitutes a semi-canonical summary of the session

Ideally, whatever information was recorded about the content of each session, you should be able to find through the links here. Several of the sessions were videotaped, and when the recordings go up on the Science Online site in 60 days (well 53 days by now), I’ll add them here. If you know of anything I’ve missed that should be included, such as your own blog posts or Storifies or so on summarizing any of these sessions, let me know!

And of course, major props to Karyn Traphagen for facilitating everything!
