Architecture of Virtual Spaces & the Future of VLEs

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Scott Wilson: Architecture of Virtual Spaces & the Future of VLEs, Scott's Workblog October 6, 2005

Scott Wilson takes us from the theory of artificial and natural spaces to an examination of similar structures in the world of online learning (echoes of what Jay Cross is saying here). "In an LMS, the architecture of virtual space is derived from the model of the institution... In a PLE, the architecture of virtual space is a web of connections centred on the learner." Why, then, do we drift toward the LMS? Because of a fear of the internet, and a desire for control. More...

New Music Recommendation System Is Based On FOAF Personal Profiling

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Luigi Canali De Rossi: New Music Recommendation System Is Based On FOAF Personal Profiling, Robin Good October 5, 2005

The first sentence of this article - that "Foafing the Music is the first music recommender system based on user's profile" - isn't accurate. Personal profiles have played a role since the 1998 Firefly system and continue to be important in Yahoo!'s Launch or the Canadian inDiscover recommender system. More...

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Unattributed: Victim Sues RIAA Under RICO Act, P2pnet October 5, 2005

File sharing, it has been well established, doesn't actually cost the music industry any money. The lawsuits launched to prevent file sharing, however, may have a long-lasting impact.

Coming Clean on Copyright

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Michael Geist: Coming Clean on Copyright October 5, 2005

As this article outlines, the Canadian government is under heavy pressure from lobbyists, most notable the U.S.-based RIAA, to sign the latest WIPO treaty. Fortunately, Canada has not done so, is under no obligation to do so, and - contrary to reports about the widespread adoption of the treaty - is among the majority of nations, those taking a 'wait and see' attitude.

eyeOS

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Various authors: eyeOS October 5, 2005

The idea of the internet as platform is a hard one to grasp, but one application that helps point the way is the eyeOS, the internet operating system. Basically, it's your computer desktop delivered from a remote site. I've set up an instance of eyeOS on my own site - downes.ca/eyeos (Userid: Demo password: demo ). More...

Top Ten Web Design Mistakes of 2005

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Jakob Nielsen: Top Ten Web Design Mistakes of 2005, Alertbox October 4, 2005

Jakob Nielsen is back with his annual list of common errors in web design and this year the usability specialist has a solid line-up.
