Kate taylor, Entrepreneur, 2015/01/01

This story has been around for a while, but it points to the danger of commercial provision of essential services. As everyone knows, price is determined by the law of supply and demand - it is, essentially, whatever the market will bear. More...

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. 6 Tips To Turn Your Presentation Into An Interactive eLearning Course

The six tips aren't especially interesting, and the relentless overlays begging you to subscribe or like are annoying.

Old Literacies and the “New” Literacy Studies: Revisiting Reading and Writing

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Old Literacies and the “New” Literacy Studies: Revisiting Reading and Writing
Norm Friesen, Seminar.Net, 2015/01/01
Norm Friesen takes an entire essay to get to making this point, but it's worth the wait: "A curriculum –whether in Nippur or New York-- is not a description of development, it is a prescription for it; and this is the difference that separates a relativist study of inscriptive and expressive practices from the practical realities of education."

The foundations of educational technologies: a brief overview

By Tony Bates. I am aware that this chapter may appear somewhat abstract and theoretical, but in any subject domain, it is important to understand the foundations that underpin practice. This applies with even more force to understanding media and technology in education, because it is such a dynamic field that changes all the time. What seem to be the major media developments this year are likely to be eclipsed by new developments in technology next year. In such a shifting sea, it is therefore necessary to look at some guiding concepts or principles that are likely to remain constant, whatever changes take place over the years. See more...
