Company: 
Dept. of Back to the Lab.I saw this in Tomalak's Realm and thought, great, it's about time somebody put an iPod-type drive into a camcorder. But reading the review brought me back to reality. The headline must have been written by someone from JVC. In short, these camcorders would be ok for consumer use, but they complicate editing and the quality is not up to professional standards. Still, it's nice to know somebody is thinking in the right direction. NY Times: Aha! Video Straight to a Computer. The "Aha!" moment came when JVC looked at the iPod. Why, JVC wondered, are we still recording onto tapes and discs, if we can record directly onto a tiny little hard drive like the iPod's? The camcorder could hold hours and hours of video, and you'd never have to buy another tape or specialized blank DVD. [Tomalak's Realm] 2:28:11 PM

George Siemens points to Stephen Downes: Let us Learn to Solve Problems.The discussion of David Jonassen's ideas continues. Let us Learn to Solve Problems: "...experimental design in education is a shell game. The result from such scientific research depends more on the assumptions made by the researchers and analysists as on the actual empirical pheonomena being studied. Indeed, the empirical results are themselves almost irrelevant; you may as well work with random data. And in practice, what we see is empirical research being used to obscure, rather than highlight, the theoretical or political presumptions informing the outcome." [elearnspace]2:13:34 PM
