Why E-Teaching Is Knocking Down E-Learning in Nigeria

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Why E-Teaching Is Knocking Down E-Learning in Nigeria
According to the author, "Emphasis is shifting all over the world from e-learning to e-teaching. This is because there is a growing feeling that e-learning is defective – that it has too many holes." The article thus focuses on blended learning, and in particular, the challenges faced by Nigeria, which include bandwidth issues, infrastructure needs, and power supply. More...

Quechup? No, Thanks

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Quechup? No, Thanks
Like many other people this week, I received an invitation to the social networking site Quechup. The person who sent it probably doesn't even know he did. Quechup tricks users into granting access to their email contacts, and then spams every one of them with an invitation. There's no way to complete your registration into Quechup without completing this step (I checked) so the service requires that you spam your friends. More...

Blogging - Not If but When and Where

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Blogging - Not If but When and Where
This post - which summarizes a presentation on blogging given at UPEI - makes the case for blogging. Nice links to examples. It responds to the Chronicle question, "What is the purpose of broadcasting one's unfiltered thoughts to the whole wired world?" My response is, simply, I think that my unfiltered thoughts are valuable and worthwhile". More...

The Cult of the Amateur and How Internet Changes Our Culture

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. The Cult of the Amateur and How Internet Changes Our Culture
The Keen criticism doesn't interest me, but this statement does: "in this day and age, being expert is not about getting more and more knowledgeable about a narrower and narrower field. It's all about being as clued up on the reasoning behind a wider and wider range of fields". More...

Help Wanted

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Help Wanted
The best statement in this useful article is the last: "Wittgenstein at his death had one book and one article published. Another book was on the way, but unfinished. "Heaven knows what would have happened to him in today's academia." Readers will also want to view Stevan Harnad's excellent summary and commentary in JISC Repositories. More...

Searchbot

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Searchbot
When people talk about 'personal agents' this is often the sort of thing they have in mind. "A Searchbot is your own personal search robot that continuously searches the Internet trying to find all the best websites it can on your behalf. When you build a Searchbot you give it a personality and then program it's search circuits with all the things you want to find. You can search for websites based on factual information like tags and locations, or more creative ways like colour and the mood you're in. You can even ask your Searchbot a question and it will talk to other Searchbots to find you an answer." Nice interface and I really like the results sets, which I assume will only improve. More...

Faculty Attitudes and Behaviors Regarding Scholarly Communication: Survey Findings From the University of California

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Faculty Attitudes and Behaviors Regarding Scholarly Communication: Survey Findings From the University of California
Results from a large survey (1118 respondents) of academics in the University of California system. Respondents were self-selected, so the survey will skew to involved and interested in the issue. Among other things, the researchers find that "The current tenure and promotion system impedes changes in faculty behavior" and that "The disconnect between attitude and behavior is acute with regard to copyright".

Why Teachers Don't Use Web 2.0 - an Historical Perspective

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Why Teachers Don't Use Web 2.0 - an Historical Perspective
I think that Gary Stager has struck at the heart of what's wrong with the 'School 2.0' movement, a movement that is essentially about teachers using Web 2.0 tools in the classroom. He is quite right when he says that many of the proponents have no sense of the history of school reform, and certainly no grasp of the grounds for school reform. As it is now, he suggests, the movement is essentially a leaderless group of anti-intellectualists centered around the tools, not any big or deep ideas. There's a lot more in this post, including a history of Logo and a consideration of some of the thinking behind it. This forms the basis for a sustained set of criticisms of the 2.0 crowd that does deserve a reply, not so much because they're incorrect, but because, in being addressed to people like Warlick and Utecht and Richardson, they're really misdirected. What I have called 'e-learning 2.0' is absolutely not about using Web 2.0 in the schools - it is not about preserving existing structures and existing authority. It is about deschooling, not reschooling, and it is about putting the capacity to learn into the hands of indivduals, wherever they may be, not locking them in a room and blocking their internet access.
