Who Needs Multimedia. (Links do not seem to work 6/3/04) Who Needs Multimedia discusses some of the myths surrounding media use for elearning. I think the focus is off. The real question of media use is not "is the technology sufficiently advanced", but "does it help the learner and improve the learning experience". If it doesn't add to the learning experience, don't use it...doesn't matter how "cool" or cutting edge it is. I've come to view the deselection of formats/concepts/activities in the learning design process as (almost) more important than the formats/concepts/activities that are included.

Learning Times Event:. Am currently trying to get into Elluminate Live on Learning Times for the "RSS, Blogging & Education" session... doesn't even come up in firefox... won't start in IE... sigh... have signed in as admin on my machine and still nowt. Now... doesn't this say something about the value of RSS & blogging as interoperable, non-proprietary tools! Update 1: Apparently I need Java Web Start... this I think... am trying! Upddate 2: Nope, still doesn't work: "Unable to load resource: http://www.elluminate.com/web/download/5.0/eLiveEnt.jar" Update 3: Have tried everything... multiple browsers, fully admind, am still getting the problem above so think it's time to call it a day on that. Elluminate Live = :o< Update 4: Apparently it was a Deakin proxy problem... hmmmm... that's something I cold have done with being pointed to by Elluminate I guess (rather than just being told 'it doesn't work'). Still rubbish... but more 'us' rubbish than them ;o) [incorporated subversion]10:33:10 AM

The Word is Out: Small Technologies Loosely Joined - NMC 2004. Diffusing through blogspace, beyond our control, goes an upcoming "presentation" at the June 2004 NMC Conference, what we have cobbled together is called "Small Technologies Loosely Joined: Fast, Cheap, and Out of Control" that I am doing with colleagues Brian Lamb and D'Arcy Norman. Here I will talk a bit about what we have in store, and idly speculate on what may happen. But first and foremost, what we are doing is hopefully blowing the sides out of the box labeled "Dull Conference Presentation"-- for those there in Vancouver, come and get a seat early because this will be hands on and likely out of control. But you do not need a bus ticket to participate, we have set up a loosely joined set of technologies (wikis+blogs+chat) that will allow anyone online to step up and actively participate, and the gates are open now.
