Parkin Space: Who Says Learning Should be Fun?

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Albert Ip: Parkin Space: Who Says Learning Should be Fun?, Random Walk in E-Learning October 25, 2005

Godfrey Parkin seeks to poke some holes in recent educational theory: "Engagement is intense mental absorption; interactivity is often just busyness or sugar-coating." Well, sure, intently reading a book or a technical manual is of more pedagogical value than idle chit-chat or time-filling ice-breaking activities. But that merely makes the observation that not all interaction is equal. More...

Alternatives to the Semantic Web?

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Phil Jones: Alternatives to the Semantic Web?, Platform Wars October 24, 2005

What is the alternative to the semantic web? How about this: "I'll suggest the alternative to the SemWeb is the SynWeb, a web which doesn't need 'key identifiers'. A world with lots of online data, marked up with syntactic cues which make it easy to parse (eg. good old fashioned XML, or Markdown or YAML); more powerful tools and libraries for parsing and querying data with these formats; plus lots of programs which scoop up the data and combine them in interesting ways".

Proof of Learning: Assessment in Serious Games

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Sande Chen and David Michael: Proof of Learning: Assessment in Serious Games, Gamasutra October 24, 2005

I don't really like the author's distinction between 'serious' games where "serious games have education as a primary goal while video games focus on entertainment." That said, this is nonetheless an article worth reading on the task of evaluating educational achievement within games. Methodologies (which will be familiar to game players) include passage through tutorial sessions, game scoring, levels, completion evaluation and more. More...

Schools Offered New Video Royalty Deal

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Corey Murray: Schools Offered New Video Royalty Deal, ESchool News October 24, 2005

According to this story: "Acacia Research Corp., the California-based company that claims it owns a patent covering all streaming video and audio technology, says it has reached an agreement with university attorneys that opens the door for schools to begin paying royalties..." Personally, I think think this is ridiculous, and the idea that this company (that nobody has ever heard of) has 'invented' streaming media is laughable. More...

Virtual & Managed Learning Environments

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Unattributed: Virtual & Managed Learning Environments, Learning Link October 24, 2005

Stephen Powell writes in ITForum (which I can no longer link to, thanks to a new login barrier): "I have been working on an evaluative framework for Online Learning Environments... From this work we identified three broad categories that need considering when making choices about ILE. These are:
- Learning - Focuses on aspects related to the learning process and pedagogical design.
- Administration - Focuses on the organisational, management, and administrational issues with the institution
- Technical - Focuses on both the technical and infrastructure requirements and support required". More...

Sun Spins Off Education Project as a Nonprofit

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Sean Gallagher: Sun Spins Off Education Project as a Nonprofit, EWeek October 24, 2005

Interesting. "Instead of 'No Child Left Behind,'" said (Sun CEO Scott) McNealy, "we [want] 'No Child Held Back.'" This is the thinking behind his announcement last Wednesday at EDUCAUSE "that it (Sun) is spinning off its effort to create an online, open-source educational resource library as a nonprofit organization".

Distributed Social Networking

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Boris Mann: Distributed Social Networking, B. Mann's Consulting October 24, 2005

How to move things another step forward: "Whatever the pieces of the infrastructure are, we still need to be able to pass rich user profiles back and forth. We've got an RDF-based one in FOAF, we've got a microformat one in XFN, and we've got a desktop app-compatible one in vCard". More...

E-Learning 2.0 - Why Bother?

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Dave Cormier: E-Learning 2.0 - Why Bother?, Dave’s Educational Blog October 24, 2005

First-rate blog post reflecting on what e-learning 2.0 really means (and as far as I'm concerned, the name 'e-learning 2.0' is just convenient shorthand, not some branding exercise or anything like that, shorthand for what is already happening whether I'm around to give it a name or not). What Dave Cormier gets is that what is represented here is a new literacy, or as he says, that students have more literacies than their instructors. More...
