Coup de pedagogue Ahhh, nothing better than using terrible French! More to le point :o) Have just published my third (and last) bit on the potential of personal publishing in education over at Xplana... Basic Summary: It's the pedagogy, stupid ;o) It might seem glaringly obvious but it's an understanding that I've come to fairly slowly, but I do reckon I'm right! I guess what PP really needs is for someone to subversilvely incorporate it into the mainstream... win them over from within... heh, that could be fun ;o) Here are the three articles: The Potential of Personal Publishing in Education I: What’s doing & who’s doing it? The Potential of Personal Publishing in Education II: How’s it going & what’s working? The Potential of Personal Publishing in Education III: Where to now? I've learnt a hellofa lot along the way, thanks for all the thoughts! 4:20:08 PM    comments   trackback

Going online, going going going Howard Strauss posts a great piece on the trials and tribulations of going online as a university. WELL worth a read for anyone who's done, doing or planning on this!

Learning Communities Catalyst Oooo, this looks interesting: An Australian site which: "...has been established to serve as a clearinghouse of information, research, case studies and practical tools to assist communities, councils, government, businesses, policy-makers and other stakeholders researching, advocating for and developing learning communities. The site provides the technology to facilitate collaboration, debate and information exchange for those involved in learning communities, and allows those communities without the resources or expertise to create their own website a simple way to establish an online presence." Which is, admittably, full of guff :o) I mean, c'mon, that much beauracracy in any project and you're going to be guff central! Still a very interesting concept though!

Stanford Wikis / Weblogs Mmmmm... check this out!.. Stanford using wikis and weblogs "Several classes at Stanford have started relying on multimedia-intensive collaborative websites. A quick browse through the gallery and you will find classes that either rely on blogging or run entirely "wiki style" [Metafilter via Dale Pike] 11:34:36 AM    comments   trackback

Can Manila Crack It? Tom Hoffman says of Frontier/Manila: "Sure, people like David Carter-Tod and others are doing good work on extending Frontier, but it is a dying platform. Regular weblog tools aren't designed for the kind of enterprise integration and complex roles needed for large scale deployments in schools" and adds that: "Now that Atsushi Shibata has ended the drought by writing COREBlog, it is a little easier to make the case for Zope as a large-scale weblogging platform. " Which is interesting, not so much because I know 'owt about how Zope could work here but because you can't help but get the feeling that there's something about Frontier / Manila which, while making total sense to the initiated and weblogthoughtful, doesn't seem to catch the first time user... there's a logic behind it which works really really really well but that logic seems to need to be learned rather than building on the majority of peoples pre-existing logic on how a web-content / blogging tool could be used. 'Owever, Dan Mitchell (who does has a heck of a lot more experience regarding Manila) says" "it is fairly easy to customize Frontier/Manila installations, yet allow the users easy control over their content. It is also very scalable: new users can do useful work with a minimum of training" Which is interesting... apparently code for such developments such as Weblogs at Harvard is on the way soon (Yay! Thanks Dave :o) is on the way soon but I'd really like to be able to flex some of the underlying logic of Manila to make it, well, as simple as Radio. Perhaps a Manila 'light' radio-esque type of approach? [tanks to Weblogg-ed News for popping these together :o] 11:20:45 AM    comments   trackback
