EduResources Weblog--Higher Education Resources Online
This weblog focuses on locating, evaluating, discussing, and providing guidelines to instructional resources for faculty and students in higher education. The emphasis is on free, shared, HE resources. Related topics and news (about commercial resources, K-12 resources, T&D resources, educational technology, digital libraries, distance learning, open source software, metadata standards, cognitive mapping, etc.) will also be discussed--along with occasional excursions into more distant miscellaneous topics in science, computing, and education. The EduResources Weblog operates in conjunction with a broader weblog called The Open Learner about using open knowledge resources across a diversity of subjects, levels, and interests for a wide range of learners and learning communities--students in schools and colleges, home schoolers, hobbyists, vocational learners, retirees, and others.

This article on "Leadership and the Enemies of Learning" by Charles Feltman has been posted to several weblogs. I'm reposting it here from Seb's Open Research. I like the simplicity and directness of the points that Feltman makes. Even though he talks about the needs for leadership and learning in a business context, I believe that his ideas certainly apply to the current efforts that institutions of higher learning are making to cope with changing economic and cultural conditions.

Enemies of learning.

Charles Feltman's Enemies of Learning (2-page .pdf) is a quick survey of personal factors that make it harder for us to approach the unknown. A few of the "enemies" that George picked out:

  • Our inability to admit that we don't know
  • The desire for clarity all the time
  • Inability to unlearn
  • Lack of trust

I just added a hotspot Site Map to the EduResources Portal. I'm trying to coordinate information in the Portal and in this EduResources Weblog. The map provides an overview picture of the site destinations and categories that are covered in the Portal. In the Basic User Instructions for the Portal I recommend that new users view the Site Map in one browser window and look at the Browse Resources link in another window to gain an understanding of the connections among the different categories and to better navigate the Portal.

I believe that pictures of web sites are often better at showing the categories and the connections among the categories that are used in forming a site than are listings or outlines.
