Hearts, Minds and Screens: Taming the Future

Hearts, Minds and Screens: Taming the Future
I can see how this paper, especially when delivered as a keynote address, would leave readers and listeners scratching their heads. But there is a deep and multi-layered understanding of what is going on in e-learning exhibited in this essay (and you'll be introduced to four new words, describing four scenarios of online learning in the future). I can't tell you what this paper is about: the meaning will shift according to your own individual context. Don't just read this paper start-to-finish. More...

Authors and Authority

Authors and Authority
Actually, this interview with Umberto Eco is quite good. I especially like his comments on copyright and the future of books later on in the piece. But I disagree with his contention that without filters, people are unable to assess the quality of information on the internet. More...

Students' Learning Styles in Two Classes: Online Distance Learning and Equivalent On-Campus

Students' Learning Styles in Two Classes: Online Distance Learning and Equivalent On-Campus.

High-Stakes Testing for Dentists??

High-Stakes Testing for Dentists??
Intended to be funny, this item goes overboard a bit ("His face had turned red, and from the way he was clenching and unclenching his jaws...") but the message is sound and the analogy useful: just as we would not evaluate dentists based on the number of cavities their patients have, so also should we not evaluate teachers based on their students' test results.
