Predictions For 2005

Predictions For 2005
Predictions for the new year, with a lot of emphasis on alternatives to courses (Elliott Masie: "More learners are grazing content to select just those modules that they need RIGHT NOW!") and to course management systems (Michael Feldstein: "The three major commercial vendors of Course Management Systems (Blackboard, WebCT, and Angel) will begin to make visibly defensive moves in response to the growing threat from open-source alternatives.").

Taking Tsunami Coverage into Their Own Hands

Taking Tsunami Coverage into Their Own Hands
The Tsumnami was a turning point for citizen journalism, writes Steve Outing. "What's amazing is how many of the people who experienced and survived the disaster -- spread across several countries and thousands of miles -- were able to share their heart-wrenching stories, photographs, and videos with the rest of the world." I think what was also different about the Tsunami coverage is that the citizen journalists changed the point of view from the 'high profile' statements and expert opinions to the human drama struggle with, and report on, the disaster.

Jack Hulland Space Mission

Jack Hulland Space Mission
I wish they had had this stuff when I was a kid. Heck, I want to experience this now! But I had to be satisfied with my scale model of the Lunar Excursion Module (LEM). Anyhow, the reason I like things like this is that they're immersive - they're a whole-body experience that completely occupies the mind. More...

Academia and Wikipedia

Academia and Wikipedia
A back-and-forth debate, prompted by Larry Sanger's criticisms (carried here a few days ago), has erupted over the role of Wikipedia. In this article, a response to Clay Shirkey's response to Sanger, Dinah Boyd argues that "many librarians, teachers and academics fear Wikipedia (not dislike it) because it is not properly understood, not simply because it challenges their privilege." Moreover, Wikipedia should not be taken at face value, she argues, citing a weak entry on social network as an example. More...

Education Dept. Paid Commentator to Promote Law

Education Dept. Paid Commentator to Promote Law
The important question to ask, of course, is how much other coverage concerning education policy is bought and paid for, and what other issues have professional journalists been happy to take a few dollars in exchange for supporting. I am often critical of traditional media because I consider it less reliable than, say, blogs. More...

E-Learning and Sustainability

E-Learning and Sustainability
This paper "review(s) major trends in e-learning and attempt(s) to draw out their implications in terms of the sustainability of e-learning." The author "stresse(s) the interaction between the development and implementation of technology, the organization of education and educational institutions and the role of teachers and trainers." The whole sustainability angle doesn't do a lot for me (because this is usually a prelude to cutting support for something, or privatizing it), but as Scott Leslie points out, the paper "could well be considered a survey of most of the discussions I have seen unfolding both in ed tech blogs and other forums for the past 2 years." Certainly, the author goes beyond the traditional discussions of learning objects and online courses, exploring some of the new models and arguments found here and elsewhere. More...

Putting Context Into Context

Putting Context Into Context
According to the author, design requires an understanding of context, and context has to do with more than just information about the current user and the current interface: the user may use the same tool in different situations, creating different contexts. For example, the user will have different goals at different times, be playing a different role, have different background resources and information, be in a different physical environment, and more.
