Amazing New Software Turns Any Computer into A TV Station

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Amazing New Software Turns Any Computer into A TV Station
The author, referring to a Chronicle article, introduces ACTLab TV (aka Alluvium). I installed the demo viewer just the other day to see how it works and was suitably impressed. The secret to this software is that it integrates content authoring tools with shared downloading (a lot like BitTorrent). More...

Developing and Implementing a Methodology for Reviewing E-portfolio Products

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Developing and Implementing a Methodology for Reviewing E-portfolio Products
As Lisa Grey summarizes, "The study developed a mapping template and explored a sample of twelve e-portfolio products which exemplify the range of existing UK systems, in terms of target learner communities, purposes and functionalities and commercial or non-commercial basis." The authors acknowledge in the report that only a small sample of the available software was considered, with the focus on those in use in Britain. More...

Google's War on Hierarchy, and the Death of Hierarchical Folders

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Google's War on Hierarchy, and the Death of Hierarchical Folders
Roger Casselman sends along this link to a good analysis by John Hiler, one of the original visionaries of personal publishing. "If you examine Google's products closely," writes Hiler, "you may notice a surprising pattern: Google is attempting to organize the world's information without folders." This is a correct analysis and a correct strategy. More...

First Impression of Sakai 2.0: Better Than I Expected

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. First Impression of Sakai 2.0: Better Than I Expected
Michael Feldstein's otherwise innocuous review of the latest release of Sakai, an open source learning management system (LMS), has become quite the attraction as several Sakai developers and other commentators have weighed into the discussion, responding to Feldstein's criticism of the discussion tools and the gender imbalance at the Sakai conference.

RSS and Media: Can't we All Just Get Along?

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. RSS and Media: Can't we All Just Get Along?
Useful discussion of RSS extensions offered by Yahoo, Microsoft and Apple to support the distribution of multimedia content. Each is slightly different and the author proposes something like a common approach. Historically, when one standard is proposed to replace three divergent standards, the result is four divergent standards. More...

Welcome to TagCloud.com

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Welcome to TagCloud.com
It was only a matter of time. Why go to all that effort to tag links manually when everything you need is already present in the link. This service automates the process, courtesy of Yahoo's content analysis web service. Except for the Yahoo bit (I use my own algorithm) this is exactly how I derive Edu_RSS topics. More...

Are the Basics of Instructional Design Changing?

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Are the Basics of Instructional Design Changing?
Following what I thought was an interesting turn of discussion on ITForum (aggregated here) I wrote this item, first, to underscore the role of philosophy as informing educational theory, and second, to highlight the difference between online learning and 'traditional' distance education. I argue that the theory of distributed representation has a profound implication for pedagogy, as it suggests that learning (and teaching, such as it is) is not a process of communication, but rather, a process of immersion. More...

Watch What You Say: You May Be Violating the 'Speech Code'

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Jean Marie Angelo: Watch What You Say: You May Be Violating the 'Speech Code', University Business September 30, 2005
I have spent much of my life in the centre of one controversy or another, and so this discussion of speech codes is one with which I have direct experience. In my own view, the line between aceptable speech and unacceptable speech is the one dividing the use of speech to express a belief and the use of speech to commit an act, where speech codes would apply to instances of the latter where the speech is being used to harass, threaten, embarass, intimidate or in some other way act in coercive or threatening behaviour.

Metadata Standardisation Update

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Lorna Campbell: Metadata Standardisation Update, CETIS September 30, 2005
The best PowerPoint presentation on this subject I've seen in a while, this report summarizes discussions surrounding the creation of an educational (read: learning objects) profile for Dublin Core (DC). Highlights include Jon Mason advocating a view very similar to mine regarding the definition of learning objects ("It's the act of re-purposing an object that turns it into an educational resource. It is assigning educational metadata to a resource that makes the resource educational.") and Mikael Nilsson illustrating, at some length, why learning object metadata (LOM) needs to be expressed in Resource Description Format (RDF) in order to be adapted into DC.
