World Universities' Ranking on the Web

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. World Universities' Ranking on the Web
I thought this was pretty funny, but I should hasten to add that it points to something deeper. This site purports to rank the top 1000 universities based on a web measurement metric: Position = 2 * Ranking(Size) + 4 * Ranking(Visibility) + 1 * Ranking(Rich Files). It was the last - rich files - that gave me the biggest giggle, as I was left wondering about the correlation between PowerPoint, PDF, and academic merit. More...

Evolving the Atom Comments Extension

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Evolving the Atom Comments Extension
Some follow-up on the RSS Referencing item I posted yesterday. Sam Ruby replies that the Atom 'link rel' attribute enables referencing. The rel values specified in the recently released Atom 1.0 are as follows: "alternate", "related", "self", "enclosure", and "via", none of which support referencing. More...

Bring on the Bling

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Bring on the Bling

Keeping It Simple - is it too late?

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Keeping It Simple
- is it too late? Asks Derek Morrison, "Does what we have now really represent the best we can do?" Even when your virtual learning nenvrionemtn incorporates open source, it merely swallows it whole, making the institution ever more dependent. "We seem to be trapped in a reality of constantly reinforcing the monolith's walls." - if it's not too late?. More...

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. We Are the Web
Kevin Kelly looks back on the emergence of the web, the launch of Netscape, and how his magazine - Wired - took it all in.

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. The Dark Underbelly of Napster Deals
It's as bad as we always thought it was. "The University must exclusively promote the Dell branded DJ, secure two Dell kiosks on campus to feature Dell products and services, facilitate a Dell launch event in the back-to-school timeframe, host Dell information on the UW website, execute an email campaign and participate in a case study." Oh, and pay $24,000 for 8 months of its service. More...

It discusses how to approach blog content, design, launch, writing your blog, marketing and revisions. Thanks to Little Train's Brad Carson for prompting this article (and for providing comprehensive coverage of the recent MERLOT conference, worthwhile work that should have received more attention than it did).
