Open Ed - Week 8: Economic Models of Open Education

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Open Ed - Week 8: Economic Models of Open Education
Good discussion of different models of open education, colour coded (red, yellow, green). Jennifer Maddrell writes, "At the Open Ed conference, I heard a suggestion to hire students (cheap labor) to sit and "convert" professors lecture content and other face to face course materials into a digital format. Why? Do learners want this? Isn't this the same mistake made when online courses first came into being?" More...

Libraries Shun Deals to Place Books On Web

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Libraries Shun Deals to Place Books On Web
Google and Microsoft have rece ntly launched some high-profile content scanning services. But a number of research libraries have been put off by the restrictions in those services. They are instead joining the open content alliance, which will scan materials for the public good, and not just the good of Google and Mircosoft. "There are two opposed pathways being mapped out," said Paul Duguid, an adjunct professor at the School of Information at the University of California, Berkeley. More...

Top 10 Reasons Why People BLOG and Don't

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Top 10 Reasons Why People BLOG and Don't
The summaries are not exactly accurate (the intent of my remark, for example, is not even close to 'because people will think you are lame') but the collection of 'reasons' culled from blog commentators is an interesting project. More...

NRC: Better Value Than the Average Superhero

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. NRC: Better Value Than the Average Superhero
Promotional video for my own organization, the National Research Council (of Canada). OK, so the humour won't appeal to everyone. But I'll give props to the people who tried it anyways, and who put it up on YouTube for everyone to see. There's also a French version. It's rather more appealing than the typical press release web page - even when the page says that research from our institute, the Institute for Information Technology, "has helped Canadian high-tech firms earn almost a quarter of a billion dollars in estimated sales since 1990."

In Search of Student-Generated Content in Online Education

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. In Search of Student-Generated Content in Online Education
The abstract sets it up nicely: "Enabling students to create their own educational content increases engagement, improves learning, and can result in products of lasting value. So why are effective examples of student-generated content in online education so hard to find?" the answer is that there are so few of them to find. More...

Top 100 User-Centered Blogs

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Top 100 User-Centered Blogs
As with any of these lists, the exact content can be some matter of dispute. From my perspective, I read one or two or three items from each section, which gives me a pretty good representation from each topic area. People who want to look more deeply into usability will want more than just the sample. More...

Information E/Revolution and A Vision of Students Today

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Information E/Revolution and A Vision of Students Today
Looking at the title of this post, and having in mind Tom Haskin's post on change, which I had just read, I bring to all who may want it (who, I admit, may be very few in number) a new word, based on the amalgam of those thoughts: ervolution - the endorsement of change, or change itself, as experienced by those who are not sure they want it.

A Folk History of the Internet

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. A Folk History of the Internet
I have landed in the Apocalypse, also known as Orange County, a place that is today full of smoke and fire and brimstone, wailing winds and howling banshees. I'm working on a video for the USQ conference and I am preparing for some talks here at the AECT conference. meanwhile, I'm told I should post the link to one of my ongoing projects, a people's history of the internet. I have been working on this at a low level for some time now. because what has always attracted me to the internet hasn't been the technology - which is mostly frustrating - or the business applications, but the very real people doing very real things. You can contribute to this if you would like; the intent is to eventually create a nice book out of the project. Stephen Downes, Stephen's Web October 22, 2007 [Link] [Tags: Books, Video, Project Based Learning]. More...

Technorati Free Fall

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Technorati Free Fall
Miguel Guhlin points to his falling ranking in Technorati, but I'm suspicious. One day last week I slipped more than 1000 places. Odd. Also odd is that the search page for Stephen Downes shows links that are 16, 28 and 44 days old - when we know that people have been writing about that topic more recently. So I think that Technorati is melting down. More...
