The Myth about Online Course Development

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Diana G. Oblinger and Brian L. Hawkins[Edit][Delete]: The Myth about Online Course Development, EDUCAUSE Review [Edit][Delete]EDUCAUSE REVIEW [Edit][Delete] January 13, 2006

The myth is that "A Faculty Member Can Individually Develop and Deliver an Effective Online Course." The authors explain, "Developing and delivering an online course requires numerous and varied skills--skills that are unlikely to be found in a single individual. Teams will probably be more effective." It is interesting to contrast this article with one on the same subject I wrote in 1998. More...

Twelve Habits of Successful IT Professionals

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Brian L. Hawkins[Edit][Delete]: Twelve Habits of Successful IT Professionals, EDUCAUSE Review [Edit][Delete]EDUCAUSE REVIEW [Edit][Delete] January 13, 2006

From the most recent issue of EDUCAUSE Review, this article offers a reasonable - though not perfect - list of factors promoting success for IT professionals (of course, the definition of 'success' here is implicit). Things roll along fine until we hit principle number 5, where the article takes a turn, equating 'success' with (it seems to me) obedience. More...

(Learning) Nodes are Here - Still and Again

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Teemu Leinonen[Edit][Delete]: (Learning) Nodes are Here - Still and Again, FLOSSE Posse [Edit][Delete] January 13, 2006

Teemu Leinonen points out that the current bout of scepticism regarding learning objects is a continuation of a longer-running discussion. And the idea of 'object' or 'node', he writes, is already well-enough entrenched on the web. "There is maybe nothing new in the LO thinking. We already have the Web where content is as reusable and modular as it can be. More...

Thriftiness is a Virtue - in Learning and Education

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Teemu Leinonen[Edit][Delete]: Thriftiness is a Virtue - in Learning and Education, As Well, FLOSSE Posse [Edit][Delete] January 13, 2006

The concept in a nutshell: "The whole idea behind the free or libre learning is thriftiness. We can not afford to loose people who are interested in to learn: whatever they do it inside the formal system or informally with content from libraries / Internet and in online discussions with their peers".

Game, Set and Match: Bureaucracy 1

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Neil C Cranston[Edit][Delete]: Game, Set and Match: Bureaucracy 1, Schools 0: Time to Change the Rules?, Centre for Innovation in Education [Edit][Delete] January 13, 2006

[link: Hits] Though the topic of this essay is the relation between schools and central administrative organizations, I think that the argument can be applied more broadly, to the relationship between any entity in an organization. Of most value is the table comparing 'traditional' and 'revolutionary' management of the organization. Consider, for example, the difference between "promotion is the reward of those who 'look' and 'sound' like their superiors" and "difference and diversity in thinking, attitudes and ideas are valued and rewarded." Which one more resembles your own organization. More...

Hypermedia and Discovery Based Learning: What Value?

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Gabriel Jacobs[Edit][Delete]: Hypermedia and Discovery Based Learning: What Value?, Australasian Journal of Educational Technology [Edit][Delete] January 10, 2006

Interesting paper that should give us pause for thought. The author writes, "As I saw things, hyperlink technology would finally allow learning truly to mesh with the free association characteristics of the human mind. Once the technology had matured, it would be a teaching resource that would transform passive learners into active thinkers. Thirteen years on, I take a critical look at those optimistic conclusions". More...

Questions from a Provocateur

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Wick Sloane[Edit][Delete]: Questions from a Provocateur, Inside Higher Ed [Edit][Delete] January 10, 2006

"Somehow," writes the author, "I missed the meeting where the nation decided to exit public higher education. I was, after all, chief financial officer of a public university. This is no fantasy. This drama is under way across the nation. More...

Banishing Disillusionment

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Miguel Guhlin[Edit][Delete]: Banishing Disillusionment, Mousing Around [Edit][Delete] January 10, 2006

[link: 0 Hits] So today was proposal day at the office - a ten minute slot to argue for learning networks, web 2.0, open access, and the rest. And to explain why there is no "exploitation" or licenses or shrink-wrap 'products', why networks have value and why they should be distributed, why people need to be able to create their own content, why there needs to be openness, and to handle questions about the value of networks and why the (completely unrelated and unlamented) eduSource project was not a success. So now I reflect Miguel Guhlin's thoughts: "I read once that to pick up new things, you have to let go of the old. More...
