By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Moviemaker
This is a toy, of course, but Moviemaker is a fun toy and you can see your work in a matter of moments. I've created my own little movie which demonstrates Web 2.0 in a nutshell. More...

Bill Gates' Guinea Pigs
By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Bill Gates' Guinea Pigs
So just what is the Gates Foundation doing with schools. This article describes the experience of one school, Mountlake Terrace High School near Seattle, which became five schools. Smaller schools - and that's the core of the rehabilitation program. More...

Comments on REL patents, Third-Party Standards, and MPEG LA
By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Comments on REL patents, Third-Party Standards, and MPEG LA
A fascinating email sent by Steve Rowat to the ODRL-interest mailing list. Rowat first notes that he left the patent business because "I no longer felt morally justified in being part of an industry that routinely stole from, blocked, or in other ways interfered with inventors who legitimately owned their own creation." I have often expressed this view of the patent industry, but it is unusual to see an insider express it. More...

It has a publication date of March 31 but it showed up in the EdNA RSS feed on Wednesday. This report surveys major topics in learning for youth - the 'digital native', games, mobile learning, blogs. Some good content pointing clearly to the defects of traditional classroom instruction. More...

Learning in an Online World
By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Learning in an Online World
This report is unreadable online - a tiny type combined with double leading and two-column format in PDF makes it impossible. People purporting to tell us how to use ICT in learning and pedagogy should know better - unless theyt don't know better. Anyhow, after wrestling with it for an hour or so (instead of the ten minutes it should have taken) I found a document containing sweeping (and not always correct) generalizations and relatively few particulars.

Globally Collaborative Experiential Learning
By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Globally Collaborative Experiential Learning
This article is the highlight from the July edition of the Turkish Online Journal of Distance Education. It describes the use of global grid simulations as an experiental teaching tool and in particular the Global University System (GUS). Some more detail would have been nice, but it's a good overview. More...

Where Can I Find Good Tech Articles
By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Where Can I Find Good Tech Articles
I have run a few posts critical of various authors and editors recently (including in this issue). I want to be clear that people shouldn't feel singled out when I do this - the articles selected are merely representative of a type of criticism I want to make, and not an indication that I think so-and-so is doing a bad job. Hey, sure, maybe I'm in no position to criticize. More...

Beyond the Horseless Carriage: Harnessing the potential of ICT in education and training
By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Beyond the Horseless Carriage: Harnessing the potential of ICT in education and training
Written in April and released some time later (the first blog cite is from elearnopedia June 30, which I missed, and then just today in elearnspace - they should add RSS to this page), this paper, written by the CEO of education.au, is more important for the direction it signals than what it says. More...

Persistent Identity (or not)
By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Persistent Identity (or not)
Nils Peterson looks at the question of persistent identity - picking up from my commentary on Catherine Howell's reply to Andrew Middleton. He asks, "how do I know that 'fratboy' on aol and 'cougar21' at Washington State University are the same individual?" Well, fair enough - and one would think that if 'fratboy' said "I am Nils Peterson" and 'cougar21' said "I am Nils Peterson" that this should be good enough. More...
