Distance Learning Social Software's Killer Ap?

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Terry Anderson: Distance Learning Social Software's Killer Ap?, Open and Distance Learning Association of Australia November 15, 2005

It's funny. Terry Anderson describes distance learning as social software's killer app, while I describe social software as distance learning's killer app. Difference in perspective, I guess. Anyhow, this article begins with a short outline of Anderson's social presence theory (good reading if it's new to you) and an overview of social software. More...

Project Inkwell Drafts Specs for School Tech

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Corey Murray: Project Inkwell Drafts Specs for School Tech, ESchool News November 15, 2005

I really don't like the way this item is written, sounding more like press copy than a news article. But the topic it covers is significfant: Project Inkwell will define 'one-to-one' technology specifications for schools. What that means wasn't really defined (instead, we got quotes like: "There is just something wrong with taking a business-built device and putting it in the hands of a seventh-grader". More...

Anti-Piracy Message Stumbles at Colleges

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Claire Hoffman: Anti-Piracy Message Stumbles at Colleges, L.A. Times November 18, 2005

For a good chuckle, read this item on students' reactions tgo the 'anti-piracy' message being offered on university campuses (L.A. Times - may require a login, sorry (but it didn't ask me for one)). "'Arrrrrrr!' shouted a group of students in the front row, prompting a chorus of pirate-like catcalls in the vein of Johnny Depp". More...

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Reuters: Did Sony 'Rootkit' Pluck From Open Source?, ZD Net November 18, 2005

As you recall, Sony placed virus-like software on some of its CDs that secretly installs malicious software on users' computers. Now evidence has surfaced that the company raided open source software to code the rootkit. There's a lesson here about piracy and large corporations, I think. More...

Google Base: Now What Do We Do?

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Steve Outing: Google Base: Now What Do We Do?, Poynter November 18, 2005

Google Base has launched and is sending a ripple of concern throughout the news industry, as in one fell swoop Google could obsolete their classifieds department. This advice, though, is sound and probably reasonable: "An all-powerful Google probably has the capability to wipe out other classifieds -- but I doubt that's the company's intention". More...
