Using RSS 2.0 and RDF Together
This is how to do it: mix RSS, for syndication, with RDF, for data transport. The example focuses on job listings, but any sort of data can be managed in this way, including learning metadata. More...

An Essay on W3C's Design Principles
An Essay on W3C's Design Principles
This is a nice essay and it covers the major aspects of the web's design principles: simplicity, usability, device-independency, and a dozen more. But for all that, it misses the web's most important principles, or so it seems to me. The web is distributed, meaning that the entire thing isn't stored on a single computer. More...

Stealing vs. Copyright Infringment
Stealing vs. Copyright Infringment
This is obvious, isn't it? "Stealing is walking into a Art Gallery and taking a painting under your arm and leaving. Copyright Infringement is going to a national gallery and taking a digital photograph of a painting, then going home and printing it for placement on your wall." Everybody, and I mean everybody, can tell the difference. More...

Dispute Exposes Bitter Power Struggle Behind Web Logs

Context Referral for Authentic Assessment
Context Referral for Authentic Assessment
This is an interesting paper with an important point. The idea is that instructors can take electronic notes about student activities as they occur. For example, "Mr. Jackson notes that Tamara is taking notes on the group’s activity but is primarily just observing her group partners do the work. He writes a brief reminder (“observer/scribe”) on his PDA alongside Tamara’s name and encourages her to work with other peers..." Now that may not seem like much, but it instantiates an important point: valuable data is created by context, by use. More...

Educators Turn to Games for Help
Educators Turn to Games for Help
Wired News taps into the future of learning as it described and links to a number of initiatives using games in learning. Of note: according to the article, "The developers behind popular commercial game Neverwinter Nights made their design tools available to anyone." Also, worthy of mention is this contrast between game design and learning design, which I talked about last week. More...
