Student Achievement - What Shoudl We Really Be Measuring?
By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Unattributed: Student Achievement - What Shoudl We Really Be Measuring?, Canadian Council on Learning October 14, 2005
Interesting report that should nonetheless be read critically. The author looks at Canada's performance in international tests in language, mathematics and science, asking about what additional achievements should be measured and where performance could be improved. Looking at the results - which see only Finland performining consistently better than Canada, and by a narrow margin - one wonders at the attitude behind such half-hearted comments such as "Canada is performing relatively well" and expressions of concern about Canada "lagging behind".

JISC Standards: A Presentation To The JISC
By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Brian Kelly: JISC Standards: A Presentation To The JISC, Jisc October 14, 2005
Some of the observations near the beginning of this presentation are worth noting, for example, the need for simpler, lower level and more flexible standards ("Web services considered harmful"), or for example, an examination of what the word 'must' means in the context of standards. More...

Set Your Priorities
By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Joel Spolsky: Set Your Priorities, Joel on Softare October 14, 2005
This article is focused on priorizing software improvements, but it seems to me people who design business processes should also take note, taking the point of view of the user. Is following this process going to benefit me? Will filling out this form improve my productivity. More...

My Big Fat Lousy Screencast -- Beyond the Blog
By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Brian Lamb: My Big Fat Lousy Screencast -- Beyond the Blog, Abject learning October 13, 2005
At 43 megabytes, it is certainly fat, but reviews have been positive, so it is not lousy. Brian Lamb takes his ripping and mixing to the video screen as this screencast explores the world beyond blogs - things like Flickr, del.icious and more. More...

A Question of Principles
By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. India Uncut: A Question of Principles, http://indiauncut.blogspot.com/2005/10/question-of-principles.html October 12, 2005
A major controversy is swirling around an Indian school, the Indian Institute of Planning and Management (IIPM), an article about the Institute published in a college lifestyles magazine, Jam, and Gaurav Sabnis, a popular Indian blogger who linked to the article and added some commentary of his own. IIPM did not respond well to the critical articles, and after publication a series of attack blogs sprang up. In addition Sabnis was served with a legal notice and, more to the point, according to Sabnis, his employer, IBM, was threatened by IIPM (which happens to be one of IBM's major customers). More...

Against Writers' Welfare
By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Konrad Glogowski: Against Writers' Welfare, Blog of Proximal Development October 12, 2005
In Grade 10 I had a teacher named Jamie Bell who, in English class, assigned as a writing project anything I want to write (or draw, or create, or design). I eventually submitted a journal filled with short shories, musings, drawings, crossword puzzles, city plans, and more. I have written in my own way, with my own voice, ever since. Makes me think.

Playing with Rails
By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. D'Arcy Norman: Playing with Rails, D'Arcy Norman Dot Net October 12, 2005
Just for fun, D'Arcy Norman plays with Ruby on Rails and while he had more success than I did, still runs into some interesting issues. His installation actually works - I'm told that mine does as well; it was being blocked by a closed port on the NRC server (well, that plus my system password had expired in mid-install). More...

Does Education Inflected Architecture = Web 2.0?
By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Michael Feldstein: Does Education Inflected Architecture = Web 2.0?, E-Literate October 12, 2005
The real question posed by Michael Feldstein is not the one in the title but whether 'remix' is a type of consumption, and he argues that it is. He writes, "What I particularly like about reframing this sort of integration as 'active consumption' rather than production (or development) is that it moves the boundary between “users” and system creators while still allowing that boundary to persist." By contrast, I don't want that boundary to persist. More...

Content and Connections
By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. George Siemens and Stephen Downes: Content and Connections, Stephen's Web October 12, 2005
I'm not sure how to describe this other that to say it is an off-the-cuff conversation George Siemens and I had this morning while waiting in the wings to take part in an online seminar hosted by Teemu Arina in Finland. We discussed the relation between content and connection, pondering how the two combine to create learning, and questioning whgether they are public and social or private and neural. MS-Word format. More from the conference itself tomorrow when I find the link. [Tags: Online Learning] [Comment]. More...
