Email feeds

Interesting, most people read Amy over at Contentious by email... I wonder what % of those are long-time subscribers (the 34% of  'old school' readers).

It's certainly not the cohort (Stephen commented recently that he has the same experience in the ed tech field... although he can probably lay claim to having the audience many moons before webfeeds even came onto the scene). My reckoning is it's more the content & nature of the blog. Amy is continually linking to interesting and relevant articles which inform her readership, so is Stephen, I'm rambling on about what they're doing... I wouldn't subscribe to an email feed doing that :o) But I would through a webfeed!

There are answers lurking in this email vs. webfeed thing that need to be got at more than they have been (i.e.RSS as email etc.), methinks.

The Journal of Educators Online

Hey cool, nice new journal via JH, The Journal of Educators Online:

"The Journal of Educators Online (JEO) is an online, double-blind, refereed journal by and for instructors, administrators, policy-makers, staff, students, and those interested in the development, delivery, and management of online courses in the Arts, Business, Education, Engineering, Medicine, and Sciences." [JEO]

They've got a search facility which is great :o) But no RSS feeds, no 'subscribe by email' and some confusing Q&A formatting makes me surprised that it's won any web awards (as it claims it has). There really ain't much excuse for bringing out a new journal without some of these features, is there?

Nevertheless (and despite the fact that they're in .pdf... I mean, double double groan) there are some interesting looking articles including a micro survey in From Campus to Web: The Changing Roles of Faculty From Classroom to Online Teaching, some interesting lessons learned from a course that saw a transition from Netmeeting to BlackBoard (which is interesting in itself) in Distributed Learning for Geographically Dispersed Students: Lessons Learned From an Online Graduate Business Course and (I'm in a fairly sarky mood today, not the best of time to go through these & I'm hardly one to talk!) a pretty obvious paper on How Recent Brain Research Can Inform the Design of Online Learning incorporating such helpful tips as making sure students can see you and that one should really consider their emotions.

Seriously though the last one is the one I'm printing off, at least it's provoking!
