The Culture of Power
Because the website is so infrequently updated (the last post appears to be from 2002), I rarely link to items from Rick Reis's quality "Tomorrow's Professor" email newsletter. More...

Revisiting Knowledge Management - Presence, Communication, Collaboration = FLOW
Revisiting Knowledge Management - Presence, Communication, Collaboration = FLOW
The lesson here should be taken to heart by designers of educational environments as well as corporate intranets: while people continually stress that they need better communication systems, what they get, time after time, is a document management service (I hope people here at NRC are reading this post.

Good example of group blogging by students at the University of New Brunswick. Something like this should be available for every student group, even if they're not computer science students. More...

How RSS Can Succeed
How RSS Can Succeed
I posted this item in response to RSS: A Big Success In Danger of Failure, by Bill Burnham. RSS could succeed. It will probably succeed. But it is important to keep our focus on what it does well: it allows an individual to scan, filter, and pass forward. That's all it ever has to do. More...

RSS: A Big Success In Danger of Failure
RSS: A Big Success In Danger of Failure
The author argues that "it is clear that without the use of meta-directories and their standardized classifications and taxonomies the RSS community is in danger of collapsing under the weight of its own success and becoming the 'push' of 2004." Having already achieved more success than was ever dreamed for push, this danger appears slight. More...

LiveJournal FOAF
LiveJournal FOAF
LiveJournal, probably the most tightly knit of all the blogging software communities (LiveJournal users explicitly identify other LiveJournal users as 'friends' on their websites), is now exporting FOAF files - it is only a matter of time now before other blogging software contains the same function, and hence, before the Semantic Social Network really takes off.

Constructivism and Hands-on Exercises
Constructivism and Hands-on Exercises
Intelligent discussion of the composition of statements of learning objectives in a constructivist environment. "It seems to me," the author writes, "that we always tend to define learning objectives centered around tasks, even though the ability to accomplish tasks is only part of the learning required in order to be able to correctly choose and apply task-based knowledge in practice; the type of learning that constructivism promotes." Nice take from Bill Brandon, in which he suggests that the author "is looking for a way to guide learners without directing or telling them." And the author's response. More...

Total Quality Management Strategic Plan for Distance Course Development
Total Quality Management Strategic Plan for Distance Course Development
It's enough to make some academics shudder, of course, but this article describes the development and application of an evaluation rubric to distance learning courses. The think with measuring quality is that you have to be sure you are measuring for the right things. More...

TrackBack: Where Blogs Learn Their Places
TrackBack: Where Blogs Learn Their Places
Via elearnspace. This article is a concise and accurate introduction to the concept of the 'trackback' in blogging. As the author (who has obviously done his homework) explains, "A TrackBack ping is blogspeak for a short message sent from one Web server to another." It lets one blog know that another blog is linking to it. More...
