Business Performance and Webwork

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Jay Cross[Edit][Delete]: Business Performance and Webwork, Internet Time [Edit][Delete] March 3, 2006
Jay Cross points to this useful paper by E&Y's Rod Boothby, The Next Wave in Productivity Tools - Web Office. It correctly points to the idea that "The only way out of an overload of push email and information overload is to turn to pull technologies you access when and how you choose. Don't get pushed around!" Well there's that push versus pull thing again. More...

Bering Strait School District

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Various authors[Edit][Delete]: Bering Strait School District, March 3, 2006
Today is my last day in Alaska - I catch the red-eye tonight - and I leave with a new appreciation and affection for this northern state. My thanks to everyone at ASTE who made me feel so welcome, to John Concilus and the rest of you from BSSD who are doing great things in the wilderness, to Ted and Sonny and Matt and Art and Diana (who is living her dream), to Naruo Ohno (who I last saw on a mountain glacier), to the good people at the Lucky Monkey cafe and the staff and amazing patrons of Darwin's Theory. And to everyone else I've missed. More...

Classrooms as Studios -- Personal Doing Environments

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Jeremy Hiebert[Edit][Delete]: Classrooms as Studios -- Personal Doing Environments, HeadsPaceJ [Edit][Delete] March 2, 2006
I agree with this: "In an educational mindset, we might think the learning itself is the important thing, but really we're talking about doing, with learning as something that happens in the process of pursuing meaningful goals." Which is why it is unfortunate, as the author points out, that the tools that enable doing are blocked. More...

When Push Comes to Pull

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Terry Anderson[Edit][Delete]: When Push Comes to Pull, Virtual Canuck [Edit][Delete] March 2, 2006
Hm. If I were ever allowed (I'm not), I would host my own information technology roundtable. Fame would not be a requirement, just a demonstrated engagement in new learning technologies. It would be genuinely international and it would include as many women as men. It's not hard to get such a group together, you just have to want to do it, and be blind to a certain demographic's persistent self-promotion. Oh, and I'd invite Terry Anderson, because he is certainly astute enough. Anyhow, it's nice to see the (demographically challenged) current group of "intellegensia" finally discovering 'pull'.

Denali

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Stephen Downes[Edit][Delete]: Denali, March 2, 2006

When I walked on the ice of Denali
My fingers froze
But if I do not walk on the sacred ground
My heart does

On the Brink of a Revolution

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Donald MacLeod and Liz Ford[Edit][Delete]: On the Brink of a Revolution, The Guardian [Edit][Delete] March 1, 2006
According to this article, Britain's Manchester University and the Open University have agreed to collaborate in yet another large overseas e-learning initiative. The authors, not surprisingly, linger over the failures of similar attempts in the past. More...

Blackboard Unveils Blackboard Beyond Initiative

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Press Release[Edit][Delete]: Blackboard Unveils Blackboard Beyond Initiative, Blackboard [Edit][Delete] March 1, 2006
Well I guess it's official now - Blackboard has embraced e-learning 2.0. Proposals include "personalizing the e-Learning environment," facilitation of social networking, "Network Learning Environments," and workplace learning. It's pretty clear that I think they are moving in the right direction with this. More...

Copyright Makes Web a Turn-off

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Simon Hayes[Edit][Delete]: Copyright Makes Web a Turn-off, Australian IT [Edit][Delete] March 1, 2006
The lead tells the story: "Schools (in Australia) have warned they will have to turn off the internet if a move by the nation's copyright collection society forces them to pay a fee every time a teacher instructs students to browse a website." I guess I don't really need to comment. What I wonder is, if this is implemented, will I start getting royalty cheques from Australia? Thought not. More...

Final Report of UNESCO Forum on Open Educational Resources in HE

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Paul Albright[Edit][Delete]: Final Report of UNESCO Forum on Open Educational Resources in HE, UNESCO [Edit][Delete] February 14, 2006
The final report of the UNESCO Open Educational Resources (OER) Discussion Forum has been released. "Open course content, whether full course materials or course elements, constitutes an important resource to higher education institutions, teaching staff and learners. However, if there is little or no awareness of availability, open course content cannot be exploited, and even with awareness of availability, there are challenges and barriers to its effective use.

On Freedom and Compassion

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. On Freedom and Compassion
We cannot be free unless we are free in our hearts, and we cannot be free in our hearts unless the very value of freedom becomes one with who we are, until the very value of freedom is one that guides us, not only through adherence to the limits set out by law and custom, but in our lives, our feelings for each other.
