Mactaquac

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Mactaquac
Well there was no room at the inn in Fredericton, so I've been exiled to Mactaquac for an evening. Mind you, it didn't take a lot of arm twisting to get me to spend a day in the country on a beautiful spring day. So these are my photos from Mactaquac, in the Saint John River valey, about 20 minutes west of Fredericton. Enjoy. By Stephen Downes, Stephen's Web, May 18, 2005 [Refer][Research][Reflect]. More...

Outfoxed

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Outfoxed
This is a very important development, probably the closest thing to the semantic social network I've seen, and absolutely the way forward. Study this item carefully. Outfoxed "uses your network of trusted friends and experts to help you find the good stuff and avoid the bad." In a nutshell, it captures evaluations and recommendations from your network of friends (which are stored in XM:L and harvested by your harvester). More...

Appcasting

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Appcasting
If you envision learning objects as objects, not merely bits of content, then this should interest you. The syndication of multimedia content is going to get much more interesting than people realize. Right now, the focus is on audio and video. More...

Amazing New Software Turns Any Computer into A TV Station

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Amazing New Software Turns Any Computer into A TV Station
The author, referring to a Chronicle article, introduces ACTLab TV (aka Alluvium). I installed the demo viewer just the other day to see how it works and was suitably impressed. The secret to this software is that it integrates content authoring tools with shared downloading (a lot like BitTorrent). More...

Welcome to TagCloud.com

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Welcome to TagCloud.com
It was only a matter of time. Why go to all that effort to tag links manually when everything you need is already present in the link. This service automates the process, courtesy of Yahoo's content analysis web service. Except for the Yahoo bit (I use my own algorithm) this is exactly how I derive Edu_RSS topics. More...

Metadata Standardisation Update

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Lorna Campbell: Metadata Standardisation Update, CETIS September 30, 2005
The best PowerPoint presentation on this subject I've seen in a while, this report summarizes discussions surrounding the creation of an educational (read: learning objects) profile for Dublin Core (DC). Highlights include Jon Mason advocating a view very similar to mine regarding the definition of learning objects ("It's the act of re-purposing an object that turns it into an educational resource. It is assigning educational metadata to a resource that makes the resource educational.") and Mikael Nilsson illustrating, at some length, why learning object metadata (LOM) needs to be expressed in Resource Description Format (RDF) in order to be adapted into DC.

Debunking the MPAA

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Debunking the MPAA
By now it is generally known that two things are true. First, that the illicit copies of the latest Star Wars were in circulation the day the movie launched. And second, that same Star Wars movie set a record for the highest grossing opening weekend ever. More...
