Seeing Ed Tech Really Working in Indiana

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Seeing Ed Tech Really Working in Indiana
Steve Hargadon writes, "While this is a fascinating description of what is taking place in Indiana's ACCESS program, led by Mike Huffman and Laura Taylor, it's more than that. (Audio interview with Mike and Laura at EdTechLive.com) It's someone seeing a vision for the use of technology in education that is truly transformative." This is what prompted me to link: "Moodle and Criterion have saved my life," she said. "I used to spend hours grading papers and quizzes. Now, Moodle takes care of the quizzes, and Criterion grades the papers for spelling and grammar so I can focus on the content. This software saves me 10 hours a week -- which I spend building the actual curriculum." That's got to be useful to someone. More...

Opportunities in Our Laps?

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Opportunities in Our Laps?
Good post documenting the launch of the OLPC and getting to the point of the project - that it is not just about technology and not just about teaching. "There is no current funding or plans for any associated teacher training programs to go with the OLPC project. Is this foolish or brilliant? Should such teacher training and "train the trainer" programs be formally developed or will it be better to leave this to the teachers and adults themselves? Will teachers learn (and teach) best by doing so with their students and adopting a "guide on the side" type approach?" More...

Time for TechCrunch, Academic?

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Time for TechCrunch, Academic?
I think this is a good idea. "Maybe there's scope for a TechCrunch Academic, that can cover neat stuff going on in academic research labs and help out with academics' often neglected public engagement and knowledge transfer activities." But who would do it? There's lots of money available for research projects, and nothing for real communication of results (I personally consider this newsletter to be among the best sources out there, but it is basically unfunded - a proper job would take a lot more time and money than anyone is willing to give.

What I Learned at Dinner

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. What I Learned at Dinner
Right. Very important: "it is attractive to imagine that there are 'baby steps' we can take 'inside' the institutional silos to get them used to the ideas... [but] we miss out on the power of the 'network effects' that are in fact integral to the positive feedback loops of succesful social software". More...

Blogger's Choice Awards

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Blogger's Choice Awards
More awards, and yes, I nominated myself here too, and again, you'll have to find it under pages and pages of nominees. A couple of commercial blogs have jumped into an early lead - and they're the ones you see when you go to vote. Talk about a significant first-mover advantage). Anyhow, like the other award shows, they give you a good place to sample a lot of content. More...

Mobile Instant Messaging Meets Social Networking: Twitter - A Beginner's Guide

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Mobile Instant Messaging Meets Social Networking: Twitter - A Beginner's Guide
Some online goodness from Robin Good that goes beyond merely describing how to use Twitter to describe how people are using Twitter. "Love it or hate it Twitter is a force to be reckoned with, and provides a great many opportunities beyond simply telling the world what you ate for breakfast". More...

The Truth Vs The RIAA

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. The Truth Vs The RIAA
Links to a bunch of articles, mostly written by musicians, against the RIAA. Handy fodder the next time someone tells you the RIAA is working for musicians. Related: Michael Geist argues that "World Intellectual Property Day has become little more than a lobbyist day with creators, users, and the facts once again getting lost in the process". More...

IDRC Launches Intellectual Platform for Developing Countries

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. IDRC Launches Intellectual Platform for Developing Countries
Well now they can't say that it can't be done of that federal law prohibits it. Canada's IDRC - the International Development Research Centre - has launched an open access digital repository of the research it funds. "In addition to making information more freely available, this initiative will enable IDRC-funded researchers to publish and showcase their successes, insights, and expertise. Through the IDRC Digital Library their work will be available, not just to a select few subscribers of journals, but to the entire global research community." Related: this presentation (PDF) summarizes open access policy development in Canada. "Open access policy initiatives are happening around the world. Sherpa Juliet lists more than 20 funding agency policies, from at least 10 countries. More than half the policies are by medical research funders. More...

The Process of Research Writing: The Web Site

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. The Process of Research Writing: The Web Site
Intended for students, and therefore in places quite basic (for example, when distinguishing between scholarly and non-scholarly work). The chapters on working with research teams and alternative methods of presenting your research represent a more modern outlook. And, of course, we have to applaud the making of this book freely available on the web. More...

Enhancing Learning Seminar

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Enhancing Learning Seminar
Summary of a Becta session on simulations and game based learning (hence this survey of teaching practices in Second Life). While noting that we still need more evidence about what students learn from games and simulations, the author mostly focused on examples including Schome (which is focusing mostly on Second Life, it seems), the Neverwinter Nights Aurora Toolset, where students build their own games, and the Brain Training Game, which I'd love to try one day.
