Network Analysis of Knowledge Construction in Asynchronous Learning Networks

Network Analysis of Knowledge Construction in Asynchronous Learning Networks
So anyhow, James Farmer wrote a bit on the structure of communication in personal publishing, I passed along some links to copnnectionism, James pondered this a bit, and Lindon commented, "I think you should just call it 'Social Publishing' and be done with it." Social publishing, social networking: this is all a topic of numerous recent studies, including the excellent analysis I cite here. The point of the paper is to test whether "it follows that different design characteristics of online discussion groups result in significant differences in network structures leading to different phases of critical thinking" and the quality of the social network analysis is as good as I have seen.

She Says She's No Music Pirate. No Snoop Fan, Either
The RIAA lawsuit against Sarah Ward has been withdrawn. Just as well, since Ward's computer, a Macintosh, cannot even run Kazaa, the program she is accused of using. Despite this, the RIAA admits no error and reserves the right to sue again. More...

Email v. RSS

Email v. RSS
This is one of these quiet discussions that could go somewhere. Right now, the focus is on explaining why RSS won't replace email. But I don't think the option has been completely explored. More...

Learning Objects: Contexts and Connections

Learning Objects: Contexts and Connections
I would have preferred to link to individual articles, but the publishers have chosen to distribute this book, consisting of about a dozen articles as a single 1.1 megabye PDF file. Oh well. It's worth the time to download, though: there is some good and important writing here. More...

When Books Break the Bank
The prices for textbooks are high enough, and publishers have added the more recent practice of bundling texts with guides or CD-ROMs, and the net result is a cost to students far out of proportion to the value they receive. It won't be long before the internet becomes a genuine alternative, at which point we will hear a collecting wail from the publishing sector. More...

UN Panel Set to Focus on Technology in Education and Development

UN Panel Set to Focus on Technology in Education and Development
The World Summit on the Information Society is something that - to me at least - seems like something far away, as though it's happening in another world. It's only happening in Geneva, of course, which for many readers is just down the road, and for me, no further away than Vancouver. More...
