Open Education: from concept to reality

Yesterday, George and Stephen staged a vClass-enabled happening on open education. I had planned to take part but unfortunately wasn't able to, but the presentation and the chat transcript are available. (The audio couldn't be recorded, however.)

As I wrote before, even though it is ambitious, this initiative looks like it has great promise.

No more talk

Via Stephen, What Ever Happened to Scholarly Conversation? and comments over at Invisible Adjunct. An interesting discussion of what has been draining conversation out of academia.

Filtering TrackBacks

Interesting discussion over at Joi's blog on deciding which TrackBacks to keep and display on a TrackBack-enabled site. I'm happy to see that Dave Sifry still has last week's inbound-links-as-reputation suggestion on his mind - let's hope we can flesh things out soon - something very useful might well come out of this.

Simply brilliant

What better way to increase your Google PageRank than to write an open letter to Dave Winer and post it on your website?

My thesis defence

Visite virtuelle du DIROMy Ph.D. thesis defence is scheduled for Friday, May 2, at 2 PM, in room 5340 of Pavillon André-Aisenstadt (see picture) at Université de Montréal. The title of my thesis is "A Socio-Technological Approach to Facilitating Knowledge Sharing Across Disciplines", and my talk (in French) will chiefly be about the interdisciplinary knowledge sharing problem and how such tools as weblogs, wikis, and ontologies may help alleviate it. Everyone is welcome to attend!

I'm glad to report that Professor Tommaso Toffoli of Boston University has accepted to act as external examiner for this thesis. He himself will be giving a talk (in English, I think) at 3:30 PM on Thursday, May 1, either at room 5340 or 3195, entitled "A Knowledge Home: Personal knowledge engineering for normal people". Here's the first paragraph of his abstract (which you can find in its entirety near the end of this page):

We have started crafting and disseminating the elements of a new cultural package (tools, skills, and traditions) which will help ordinary human individuals---ie, not only nerds and geeks---cultivate and enjoy an extended personal information space---a "knowledge home", as it were. The computer will materially help manage this extended space by providing storage capacity, software tools, and processing power. But these resources will have to be matched, on the human individual's side, by substantial new competencies---a "computational literacy", as it were---whose acquisition, like that of ordinary literacy, will be encouraged and made possible by the Knowledge Home culture.

This sounds really interesting (and a little Spike Hall-ish, might I add).

In case you're near Montreal and are interested in attending my defence or Prof. Toffoli's talk, here are pictures detailing how to get there by car and by subway.

Don't get sued

Dan Bricklin has been contemplating the entrails of the Creative Commons licenses, and advises us to be careful about the responsibility that is entailed by their use.

The Creative Commons licenses say, in effect, "After checking, I guarantee no one will sue you if you copy my work, with some restrictions". What many casual webloggers really want to say is "I guarantee I won't sue you if you copy my work, with some restrictions".

Blogs increase the surface area of organizations

Jon Udell has got a keen eye for biological metaphors for information systems, and here comes up with a nice one for how weblogs change the shape of organizations:

Think of an organization as a single-celled animal. Blogs increase the surface area of the cell, help nutrients flow across its membrane, and promote multicellular cooperation.
