Students Take to the Streets for Cause - and Extra Credit

Students Take to the Streets for Cause - and Extra Credit
I am going to include this link because it touches at the heart of so much of the debate about online learning, even if it is not about online learning. The story, in a nutshell, is that students at a Catholic school received extra course credit for taking part in an anti-abortion demonstration outside an abortion clinic. Now before you respond with joy or outrage - I have seen students recieve credit for working for such causes as international development (indeed, I recieved credit for that, many years ago), the promotion of multiculturalism, raising money for Oxfam, and more.

Wireless Attendance Recording: The FTL patent explained

Wireless Attendance Recording: The FTL patent explained
See, this is the sort of thing that can just kill innovation. A company called Frontline Technology Limited (FTL) has obtained patents for "the transfer of student data by radio." Now the company's information page says, "I am using IEEE 802 wireless/ I am using GPRS to collect student data by radio. Should this be licensed by the patent? Yes." Thus, if you use your 802.11 wideless network to transfer an Excel speadsheet over your LAN, you should pay FTL royalties for this "innovation." This is not just some idle threat, either: FTP has taken Tasc Software Solutions Limited of Wolverhampton and others to court for infringement of its patent relating to the transfer of pupil data in education by radio ? patent number EP 0664061.

Learning Objects

Learning Objects
Albert Ip yesterday on elearningleaders writes, with respect to learning objects, "As I continue to work with the learning technologist hat on, I am getting more and more ... (I am lost in word, English is not my first language!)." From reading the three papers on this website, I suspect the word Ip is searching for is "frustrated" (or perhaps "confused"). More...

Stories, Curricula, Master's Degrees and Dragon Slaying

Stories, Curricula, Master's Degrees and Dragon Slaying
It is only appropriate that Roger C. Schank would use a story to extol the benefits of storytelling in education. The story Schank selects is in the education of young warriors being trained to be sent out to slay the dragon terrorizing the community. The university curriculum, authored and taught by the finest educators in the land, fails miserably. More...
