Taking a sip from a firehose.
Gee whiz. I went off to Kansas for two days for a funeral and came back to find dozens of posts sitting in the aggregator, waiting to be reviewed, commented, and posted. I surrender!
There is a lot of activity right now in e-Learning and in the application and technology of weblogs, and I dumped most of the interesting items into Clippings, without comment for now. My apologies for ripping your lips off.
Quick thought until I catch up: Weblogging as an e-Learning tool cannot be allowed to become a substitute for lecture. That is, one of the basic models for weblogging is publishing, perhaps publishing and commenting. This is too much like either lecture or raconteur-ng (to pervert a term). I get a little heartburn whenever I see references to weblogging as "a personal content management system." It's more like a personal content collection system. The tools mostly don't allow for much "management." At least not without a lot of effort. Yes, I know this is superficial reaction and needs more thought and work. Patience. I just don't want to see weblogging become a "solution searching for a problem" as has too often been the case with "knowledge management" or even with XML.
How is publishing different from education? hmm... (chewing on the question)
