IT Issues & Strategic Viewpoints in Higher Education
IT Issues & Strategic Viewpoints in Higher Education
The sample sizes in this survey are unfortunately small and there's no indication that the selection was not biased. That said, this survey - and take it for what it's worth - offers some good quotes. More...

DRM at its Worst? Here's a Prime Example
DRM at its Worst? Here's a Prime Example
If you wonder why I rail against digital rights management (DRM), this article provides a good example. The author orders a DVD of Terminator 2 (T2). Despite being advertised as playable on Windows Media, an additional DRM client is required. Then it only plays in Canada or the U.S. (as determined by a buggy IP analyser). More...

Management by Objects
Management by Objects
There's some genuinely neat stuff by Microsoft described in this article (yes - the words 'Microsoft' and 'neat' in the same sentence - who knew?) (and follow the reference to the earlier article where Monah is demonstrated). More...

Persistent Education
Persistent Education
What I didn't get to say in my discussion of the personal learning environment (PLE) the other day is that every student should get his or her own web server. Why? Well, moving off the institutional web server only does half the job - people's computers break down, they buy new computers, they want to access from a Cybercafe in Harare... you can't depend on a client side aplication.

The State of Standards at Online Educa 2004
The State of Standards at Online Educa 2004
Good summary of the discussions on learning technology standards at Online Educa Berlin. On the one hand, you have people like Wayne Hodgins saying "they're done, you just need to implement them" and on the other people are saying "but we need standards for collaboration". I still think that a lot of the standards discussion is putting the cart before the horse, as Hodgins says, "perfecting the irrelevant". More...

Texbooks or iPods?
Texbooks or iPods?
I looked longingly at a Creative Zen today (what you should buy instead of an iPod if you're thinking of buying an iPod). Sound appeals to me - I've had a different sort of vibe from readers since posting my audio online (hard to quantify or even describe - let's just say there's a noticable difference in the feel of the responses).

OLDaily Audio
OLDaily Audio
My OLDaily Audio page - MP#s of my talks in proper podcasting form (the RSS is here). I have a few items to add - I set this up a couple months ago in respoinse to a request and forgot about it. Worth a mention in light of the next item. By Stephen Downes, Stephen's Web, October sometime [Refer][Research][Reflect]. More...

More December Oddness, and a Mystery Link ;)
More December Oddness, and a Mystery Link ;)
So anyhow, I'm in Ottawa. Another odd day - I'm supposed to go to Montreal tomorrow but it's looking ugly and I'll probably cancel. My message light flashed, but my voice mail was empty - if you called me you were deleted. My cell phone is in my office in Moncton. NRC's normally unreliable email isn't working again (which is why I'm including some personal notes in the newsletter - I'm incommunicado otherwise). And my laptop, which has never worked properly since Windows XP was installed, is operating in fits and starts (mostly fits). More...

President's Blog
President's Blog
So you toil and toil at your college, promoting the idea of blogging, but you don't really get any take-up. But still you toil away, and then one day, your college gets a new president, and the new president launches a blog. More...
