The Reusability Myth of Learning Object Design
The Reusability Myth of Learning Object Design
I fogot to run this when it first came out last week - good thing I check my notes. The author looks at my argument in Design, Standards and Reusability to the effect that learning design and reusability are incompatible. More...

The Learning Marketplace: Meaning, Metadata and Content Syndication in the Learning Object Economy
The Learning Marketplace: Meaning, Metadata and Content Syndication in the Learning Object Economy
In September, 2001, just for fun I created a 'book generator' and, for posterity, 'authored' two books using it: Knowledge, Learning and Community (a.k.a. Book 1) and Democracy and Freedom (a.k.a. Book 2). Inexplicably, because I link to them utterly nowhere (and haven't for years) they still generate about a hundred downloads a month, give or take, as you can see in my stats. More...

Time Savers for Bloggers
Time Savers for Bloggers
It has been a constant with me, ever since I was writing on sheets of paper on an old Underhill typewriter (I have been writing for a long time). One page: fifteen minutes. 250 words. A thousand words in an hour. First draft - everything is first draft; I don't rewrite anything. I use almost all of Pollard's tips, everything, in fact, except proper typing. More...

I have linked to a few of author Dave Pollard's works before, but this morning was the first time I looked at his blog in detail. The result? A number of links to share with you (see below) and renewed thoughts on writing. You see, I am not writing enough. More...

Multitudes In the Valley of Decision
Multitudes In the Valley of Decision
The gist of this article is that people sometimes prefer less choice. Making a choice constitutes a 'transaction cost', if if there are too many choices, the transaction cost is too high. Though not mentioned in the article, this is the basis for one of the major arguments against micropayments. More...

The Eagle Is Grounded
The Eagle Is Grounded
I think this is exactly right: "In the face of new technologies and competition, the U.S. is toughening patent and copyright protections... if it's not careful, the US will drive its intellectual property offshore..." The core of the observation here is that patent and copyright policy today is increasingly a type of trade policy, responding to foreign competition by making it more difficult to compete. More...
