alt-i-lab 2006 Presentations Available

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Scott Leslie[Edit][Delete]: alt-i-lab 2006 Presentations Available, EdTechPost [Edit][Delete] June 27, 2006
I'll put this is the list of things to be read later, and pass along Scott Leslie's comment for now: "Part of me really wants some of these developments to come true, to deliver the promised 'plug and play' elearning environments described herein, and in my rational moments I know that 10 years really isn't that long for a field like this to coalesce around an open set of interoperability specs. And yet it would be hard to fault a newcomer looking at these presentations for wondering if this represents what is still to be done, how anyone manages to develop quality online learning experiences now (and how many PhDs will be required to operate the CMS of the future)?".

Experiencing Surveillance: A Phenomenological Approach

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Norm Friesen, Grace Chung and Andrew Feenberg[Edit][Delete]: Experiencing Surveillance: A Phenomenological Approach, Ipseity [Edit][Delete] June 27, 2006
Interesting. In a world of ubiquitous surveillance, how does our understanding of ourselves change? Is it this? "Like Sartre's spy at the keyhole, himself espied, we would lose our ability to function as a subject. We could no longer choose an identity to project depending on our inclination and the situation at hand as everything having to do with our identity would have been pre-empted by the surveillance system... Who it is that determines the facts about us and in what context and light they are presented may turn out to be as important as the facts themselves. Truly, to be completely 'outed' is to be annihilated". More...

Freedom

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Miguel Guhlin[Edit][Delete]: Freedom, Around the Corner [Edit][Delete] June 27, 2006
Heh. "TOR is a routing technology that encrypts and routes your Internet traffic through a number of TOR servers before the traffic reaches its destination. Privoxy is a proxy server that helps protect your Internet privacy by removing or obscuring various content, such as your DNS queries, browser type, OS type, and more. More...

Video: Innovation and Creativity in Schools

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Clarence Fisher[Edit][Delete]: Video: Innovation and Creativity in Schools, Remote Access [Edit][Delete] June 27, 2006
Some thoughts on creativity by Sir Ken Robinson: "Creativity is as important as literacy and should have the same status... If you are not prepared to be wrong, you will not do anything original... Education has strip mined our minds like we do the earth for particular commodities. More...

Networks - Revisiting Objective/Subjective...

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Stephen Downes[Edit][Delete]: Networks - Revisiting Objective/Subjective..., Half an Hour [Edit][Delete] June 27, 2006
So anyhow, George Siemens's post on subjectivity and objectivity, written a couple weeks ago, showed up in front of me again today, and being in that sort of frame of mind, I ended up writing about this instead of working. Tomorrow I'll get back to working again - those forms aren't going to fill themselves, you know! In the meantime - enjoy my discussion. [Tags: , ] [Comment]. More...

Social Bookmarking: Pushing Collaboration to the Edge

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Joachim Niemeier[Edit][Delete]: Social Bookmarking: Pushing Collaboration to the Edge, 7 Days and More [Edit][Delete] June 26, 2006
Social bookmarking, social networks - the discussion continues. Social bookmarking fosters collaboration in resource discovery. Also, harnessing collective innovation with web 2.0. Also, five sites you need to know in social networking. Miguel Guhlin links to the Wikipedia list of social networking sites. "MySpace shows 86 million users, Facebook shows 7 million, Bebo shows 22 million, and Flickr shows 2.5 million." You may also want to look at a blog from PARC called PlayOn, which looks at the social dimension of virtual worlds. FutureLab (via Scott Leslie) offers a longish look at the topic. Well written and clear, it defines social software (via Stowe Boyd and Clay Shirkey), looks at audio-visual and other implementations, and then asks, does learning change in an information society (hint: yes).

Dynamic To Do Lists

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Tony Hirst[Edit][Delete]: Dynamic To Do Lists, OUseful Info [Edit][Delete] June 26, 2006
This is something that appeals to me - the use of RSS to do more than merely deliver content. Tony Hirst captures this thought in this post. "What I like the idea is of adaptively generating the to do list for each user, providing links to things users may need as they are likely to need them". More...

An Interesting Conversation...

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Mike Malloch[Edit][Delete]: An Interesting Conversation..., eLearning 2.0 [Edit][Delete] June 26, 2006
I'v never liked the use of use cases in software design, mostly because they tie the design to specific tasks. Well, comes the rejoinder, you need to know what you want your software to do. Sure. But what users want to do is a different matter altogether. "In the real-world users are almost always doing 'other things' when they come to use a bit of software." Exactly. More...

Managing Intellectual Property for Distance Learning

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Liz Johnson[Edit][Delete]: Managing Intellectual Property for Distance Learning, EDUCAUSE Quarterly [Edit][Delete] June 26, 2006
Note that the University System of Georgia secures a license through a copyright holder only as a last resort - public domain, TEACH Act and fair use are all preferable alternatives. Which means that if the needed materials are available (and discoverable) through the public domain, commercial content can be avoided entirely. More...

Informal Learning Practices

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Jeremy Hiebert[Edit][Delete]: Informal Learning Practices, HeadsPaceJ [Edit][Delete] June 26, 2006
Jeremy Hiebert has been looking into informal learning. The first paper, published in 2000, is an extensive survey of adultg learning in Canada and shows that Canadians are extensively involved in it (15 hours a week), want explicit recognition of this work, and are generally underemployed with respect to their informal credentials. He also links to Self-Direction in Adult Learning, a book on the subject from 1991. More...
