Thoughts on incorporated subversion Some cool thoughts on incorporated subversion and course management systems from Scott. I think this stuff is absolutely key in terms of online (and f2f!) learning and the more perspectives the better :o) 11:01:45 AM    comments   trackback

Toward a Weblog Editorial Policy Greg  posts a very interesting piece on basically how he runs his weblog etc. Looks really cool & a good discussion happening too. Now, the concept of a shared 'policy' being constructed by a group of learners could be a reallly interesting way to centre stuff! Looking forward to the development of this! 10:53:43 AM    comments   trackback

"Important" characteristics of Course Management Systems "Important" characteristics of Course Management Systems. Scott Leslie's text is a useful piece for determining not only common characteristics of course management systems, but also what features are most important. Thanks to CarvingCode for this: "Important" characteristics of Course Management Systems - Scott Leslie posts his paper and a presentation he presented at Canadian Association of Diatance Educators recently. Basically what I tried to do was contrast the picture of what features are broadly supported across CMSes according to the edutools feature set with what features the users at edutools use as the basis for decisions. The hope was to reveal gaps between these, areas where the industry sector is lagging behind user demand. Judge for yourself if any such differences are visible.

Weblogging and self organized learning Sebastian writes "I believe that skill development of and support for self-organized learning is a worthwhile goal." because it is increasingly difficult to keep up the notion of "obligatory curriculum" because of the pace of production of concepts and artifacts, a growing individualization of needs and purposes, and a fragmentation of knowledge domains in general we will face more and more situation where there is nobody around who would "set the agenda and to decide what knowledge might be considered and in what sequence" in emerging knowledge domains it is not quite clear yet what "comprises the knowledge, skills, and values of the educative experience that meet criteria of excellence that make them worthy of study" it is then very hard or impossible to find expert teachers who are "well versed in both the material and the criteria of excellence used in the area of study" because of the individualization of learning needs and a growing dependance on digital artifacts it is increasingly difficult to actually design, and therefore control, the "milieu" or context in which learning experiences take place for others So, what do we do in a situation like this? Do we simply want to sit back and wait until "teachers" or "curriculum" comes to rescue us? How can we deal with all the uncertainties and the lack of guidance we are confronted with? This is where personal Webpublishing offers some interesting potentials for the self-organized learner... [Seblogging News] 10:45:05 AM    comments   trackback
