The Era of Omniscience is Over

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Jay Rosen: Andrew Heyward: The Era of Omniscience is Over, PressThink October 19, 2005

A fascinating admission from the president of NBC on the nature of truth. "We have to abandon any claim to omniscience. Walter Cronkite used to end his broadcast with 'That’s the way it is.' Dan Rather pulled that back, appropriately, to 'That’s part of our world tonight.' The digital journalist, if he or she were being honest, would say something like 'That’s some of what we did our best to find out today. More...

Open Source as Liberation

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Christopher D. Sessums: Open Source as Liberation October 19, 2005

Just an update on one of the most interesting stories of the web, the way in which the government of Brazil has embraced open source. "President Luiz Inacio da Silva, or 'Lula', has announced that all ministries will stop using Microsoft Windows on their office computers. Instead of paying through the nose for Microsoft operating licences, while millions of Brazilians live in poverty." This same story, with varying outcomes, is playing itself out arount the world, as a heated discussion on the Bytes For All mailing list attests. More...

From Push to Pull

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. John Hagel: From Push to Pull, Edge Perspectives with John Hagel October 19, 2005

I have to give John Hagel and John Seely Brown (JSB) credit: they know how to take an idea, package it, and run with it. The idea this time is the transformation from 'push' technologies to 'pull' technologies. It's a topic I've dealt with before, but never in any depth. More...

Provinent now "Vitesse Learning"

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Harold Jarche: Provinent now "Vitesse Learning" October 19, 2005

Another merger. Harold Jarche reports: "After having recently merged with Fredericton's LearnStream, Provinent (of Toronto, with offices in Fredericton & Charlotteown) is now merged with US-based Vitesse Learning. This consolidates the e-learning content development field even more. We'll see if bigger is better in the next months and whether the new company hires more people or jettisons extra staff".

A Network of Weblogs as a Community of Practice

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Wilfred Rubens: A Network of Weblogs as a Community of Practice, Wilfred Rubens TE-learning centrum October 18, 2005

On the one hand, this article makes a good case for treating a network of blogs as a community of practice, observing that while bloggers do not communicate intentionally, while moderaters are not employed, and while they use different platforms, they nonetheless form a community, as evidenced by this diagram. More...

Canadian Journalism, Public Policy Forum

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Dan Turner: Canadian Journalism, Public Policy Forum October 18, 2005

A little off-topic, but too interesting to not pass along, this round-table features many of Canada's most well-known journalists talking about the state of the media in our country. There's a lot of criticism - note especially the longish account of newspapers in New Brunswick. But the criticism is, from my perspective, muted. More...

Introducing the LMOS Open Source Project

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Michael Feldstein: Introducing the LMOS Open Source Project, E-Literate October 18, 2005

Interesting. "The Learning Management Operating System (LMOS) will be designed from the ground up focusing on tool interoperability in order to provide campuses, faculty and students with unprecedented flexibility and control in customizing their virtual campus/class environments. In contrast to traditional LMS projects, the LMOS is conceived as a framework for integration and interoperability rather than a monolithic system". More...

University of Cambridge Department Bans Skype

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Catherine Howell: University of Cambridge Department Bans Skype, Citing Security Concerns, EDUCAUSE Blogs October 18, 2005

This might be a sign of more to come, as computing service people are expressing concerns about the free online audio program. Skype, while free, is not open source, and it also sneaks through firewalls using ports normally reserved for web servers. More...
