Guest Speaker: Chat Room or MOO Activity A nice 'n easy Friday plan which gets your learners discussing topics with an expert and then using the transcript to spark sparks for their own group discussions. Anyone wanna ed tech 'expert' as a guest, drop me an email :o) Seriously... it'd be good to do this from the other side of the fence! 2:27:26 PM    comments   trackback

More good weblogs That weblog vs. email thing has found me some more good  feeds, here they are... Blogkathleen [feed] 'the CEO of an e-learning company based in Cambridge, Massachusetts' Commoncraft [feed] 'helps organizations realize business value from online communication tools like online communities and Weblogs' The Fordlog [feed] 'organized chaos' (um, no 'about' but looks like cool ICT stuff in education from the UK) 1:34:26 PM    comments   trackback

Alternative Comments Worth filing, radiocomments has been giving is a painful downloading time of late... seems to have got a bit better tho' just recently, but we'll see... I've finally (last night) got my comment importing script working, so now I can grab all the comments for a user on radiocomments.userland com or radiocomments2.userland.com and push them into the pycs.net comment system. If you want to switch your comments from the UserLand server over to mine, drop me a line, and I can do it fairly easily.

Weblogs vs. Email for Discussion Interesting commentary via elearningpost on a story I think I pointed to a while back  on weblogs generating more discussion than email. Possible reasons are given as being: "my students now get a lot more email than they used to. Course-related mail gets mixed in with the usual jumble of spam and whatever else. All too easy just to hit the delete key. Two, the blog allows them to see their ideas instantly published on the Web. Email is a closed world, a self-contained loop between the instructor and the other students. With the blog, the fourth wall is always open" I'd add that email is a very personal, in your face, kinda medium... I, for example, am much happier blurting out on my weblog than I have ever been on an email group, much much much happier ;o) Having said that, email is push and commenting on weblogs (unless there's an 'update me' function as with Manila) isn't at all and that makes me wonder again whether commentary tools on weblogs (or any kind of 'bulletin' boardy pull technology) can work well for discussion. One thing worth noting though is the lack of authentication and simplicity of commenting systems on weblogs wipes the floor with the HORRIBLE options presented by various CMSs. 1:17:07 PM    comments   trackback

Happy Birthday to This (for it's a jolly good weblog, for it's a jolly good...) This weblog is one year old today... it's been QUITE a year! Thanks for reading :o) 11:28:24 AM    comments   trackback
