Aspen, Colorado

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Aspen, Colorado
I am at the mountain resort of Snowmass, Colorado, today, attending the EDUCAUSE Seminars in Academic Computing, where I'll be talking on 'Principles of Distributed Representation' tomorrow. Yesterday I had the opportunity to take the bus to Aspen, where I spent a nice Sunday afternoon wandering around the town (leaving me a bit worn out today, I might add). Anyhow, this link is to my collection of photos, and for those of you with really good broadband, I made a (32 megabyte WMV format) video of my day (Windows Media might stream it for you; my results have been variable).

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Two New Developments Point to Loss of OMA DRM Momentum
This story is more about Microsoft expansion into the mobile phone and mobile computing industry than it is about digital rights management, though the expansion is enabled by a mapping from OMA DRM to XrML (aka MPEG REL). More...

What Can Schools Do? Knowledge, Social Identities and the Changing World

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. What Can Schools Do? Knowledge, Social Identities and the Changing World
The author takes note of two enquiries launched by the Australian government. "One is an inquiry into what quality research in universities looks like, and how that can best be measured every year. The second is an inquiry into teacher education and whether it is sufficiently 'evidence-based' and producing competent classroom-ready teachers". More...

Six Degrees of Who Cares?

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Six Degrees of Who Cares?
Yeah, OK, we know that LinkedIn (and Friendster, and Orkut - one wonders why the author has it in for LinkedIn) doesn't really deliver the social nirvana advertised. But does this? "The connections we remember the most are the ones we've made in person where we've exchanged cards and conversation - possibly even emotions and ideas." Cards? I lose cards by the dozen - and always seem to forget my own. More...

Understanding the CC License Selection Behavior of Flickr Users

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Understanding the CC License Selection Behavior of Flickr Users
David Wiley advances and supports an interesting theory about Creative Commons license selection by Flickr users: "Proportion of creators choosing the license ∝ Proportion of rights reserved in the license."

New Tools: Blogs, Podcasts and Virtual Classrooms

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. New Tools: Blogs, Podcasts and Virtual Classrooms
Readers will recall that I featured Bob Sprankle and his class in these pages back in May. Now they've hit the big time, being headlined in this New York Times article. To me, this is the essence of education: "I want to give these kids the tools to say, 'Hey, my voice is important in this world,' This blog helps me do that." Others, though, see value only in testing. More...
