Reinvention Chapter 2--I Quit

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Will Richardson[Edit][Delete]: Reinvention Chapter 2--I Quit, Weblogg-Ed [Edit][Delete]Weblogg-ed [Edit][Delete] February 8, 2006
Um, wow. Here is Will Richardson: "After 21 years in public education... today I notified my superintendent that as of May 15 I would be leaving the district for parts somewhat unknown. To put it simply, I quit." Yesterday I tried to put the case forward to OECD representatives about the barriers and hurdles placed in front of individuals in our field. Today we see Will Richardson leaving behind the institution that (apparently) has become more of a hinderance than a help to his work. More...

Electronic Portfolios for Whom?

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Javier I. Ayala[Edit][Delete]: Electronic Portfolios for Whom?, EDUCAUSE Quarterly [Edit][Delete] February 8, 2006
I couldn't say it more plainly myself. "The literature doesn't discuss e-portfolio use to meet student needs and concerns but to support administrative efforts to solve long-term curricular issues." And I agree with this assessment: "Implementers who have not thoughtfully addressed the key issues outlined here will eventually come crashing down. More...

The Most Popular Educational Technology Diagram

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Catherine Howell[Edit][Delete]: The Most Popular Educational Technology Diagram, Ever, EDUCAUSE Blogs [Edit][Delete] February 8, 2006
I didn't catch the significance of Josie Fraser's post when it came out, but this article helpfully contrasts the diagram it describes to the E-Learning Framework diagram "(which quickly became known as: 'Another Brick in the Wall')" and links, in turn, to a fascinating Flash visualization of some of the approaches in the educational space.

Push and Pull

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Jay Cross[Edit][Delete]: Push and Pull, Informal Learning [Edit][Delete] February 8, 2006
Good article on the distinction between 'push' (which is what spammers, advertisers, and other assorted low-life do) and 'pull' (which is what I've advocated for some time). Not surprisingly, as this article makes clear, traditional learning is 'push' and new learning is 'pull'. More...

A Response to Stephen Downes, and Some Examples of Real Greed

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Terry Freedman[Edit][Delete]: A Response to Stephen Downes, and Some Examples of Real Greed, February 8, 2006
Terry Freedman responds to my lengthy (though cut-off) comment on his article and adds this item, documenting greed on the part of publishers. Well, I know that the commercial press is, shall we say, less than avove-board in its dealings with authors. From my perspective, the people who complain the most about 'pirates' are themselves the worst offenders - I saw the other day (maybe I mentioned it here?) an item pointing to the reality that copyright laws are intended to protect the corporations from each other; we (the rest of us) are simply caught in the crossfire.

Sakai vs. Moodle

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Zack Rosen[Edit][Delete]: Sakai vs. Moodle, Zacker.org [Edit][Delete] February 8, 2006
If you want to feel some ire rise in your craw, scroll through this list of comparisons - users, vendors, traffic, business readiness, and the like, and then look at the comparisons in funding. "Moodle: $0 initial funding and ~ $12,000 a year from individual donors. Sakai Project: $2,200,000 initial grant from Mellon Foundation and Hewlett Foundation and $4,400,000 from core partners.

Cultivating a Classroom Learning Engine through Information Economics

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Dave Warlick[Edit][Delete]: Cultivating a Classroom Learning Engine through Information Economics, 2 cents Worth [Edit][Delete]2 Cents Worth [Edit][Delete] February 7, 2006
Interesting observation on the best strategy for schools in an era when control over content has slipped from their hands. "The content belongs to us. It's controlled by us. ..and we are producing an increasing amount of it. So I suspect that Khosla is right, we will not be able to control the content -- even in our classroom (especially in our classrooms?)". More...

The Online Filling Station Model of e-learning Revisited

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Derek Morrison[Edit][Delete]: The Online Filling Station Model of e-learning Revisited, Auricle [Edit][Delete] February 7, 2006
A look at the forthcoming Sony Reader, "the latest in a line of contenders to become the e-book device of choice." Basically, it's an e-book reader that draws a lot from the recent MP3 players, such as the iPod, that have taken the market by storm. The plus? You can upload your own content (and there's a Sony version of the iTunes music store, natch, just for books). The minus? You have to convert your stuff into their proprietary format. More...

Ninmah Meets World

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Rachel Smith[Edit][Delete]: Ninmah Meets World, February 6, 2006
Rachel Smith, described by Brian Lamb as "a catalyst and synthesist (among other things) with the New Media Consortium, does a lot of cool stuff with some amazing people," has launched a blog. It's still in startup mode (three posts) but do drop by and welcome her to the blogosphere. More...
