New E-Learning Tools Make It Easy For faculty and Students to Create Media-Rich Learning Resources. "We[base ']ve built learning object tools that in turn build learning objects themselves," said Warren Scott. "By doing that, dozens if not hundreds of other people can create timelines and save threaded discussions, which are actually learning objects. This creates exponential growth in the number of re-usable learning objects that can be re-used and re-purposed in other courses by other faculty and students." Cool. Via Scott Leslie, who also links to Michelle Lamberson, who links to the Timeline Tool and WebCT Discussion Extractor Tool described in the article. "This tool allows faculty and students to extract parts or all of that conversation and re-use it for other contexts." By Unknown, University of British Columbia, November 27, 2003 [Refer][Research][Reflect] [OLDaily]

The timeline tool is a web based learning object template which allows an instructor to quickly construct an interactive timeline with audio and visual effects. The finished timeline can serve as an re-useable learning object which can be easily distributed and shared over the web. This learning object template is built in Flash, PHP and XML.

Her har du et fabelaktig godt birag til det overdrevne fokus vi har hatt på innhold: Down my throat no more. Jim McGee: John Seely Brown on Stolen Knowledge.

[....]

Why is it such a hard step to give up on the notion of control? Or, put another way, why do organizations and schools insist on forcing certain content down people's throats? You might want to take a look at Roger Schank's thoughts about learning in this context. Take a look at Coloring Outside the Lines : Raising a Smarter Kid by Breaking All the Rules or at Designing World-Class E-Learning.

Or if you want things in a real nutshell consider the following bit of wisdom from Calvin and Hobbes:

I dag kom det bokpakke fra Amazon med bla. Radio Userland Kick Start. Det har vært tynt med dokumentasjon for Radio så dette er en velkommen tittel. Et godt tips er å bruke Google for å lete i dokumentasjonen på http://userland.com/ (som inneholder mer en 190 000 sider!). site:userland.com + de ordene du vil søke på (navigation i dette tilfellet).

Via Stephen Downes: W4 k-collector. From the web page: "k-collector is an enterprise news aggregator that leverages the power of shared topics to present new ways of finding and combining the real knowledge in your organisation." A lot like Edu_RSS, this website aggregates RSS feeds and displays the results as a series of topic feeds. I like the 'what', 'where', 'who', 'when' organization of topics (hence 'W4') - especially since I'm one of the people listed in the 'who'. I ran into access problems trying to explore the site, so you may have to be persistent with this link. By Various Authors, Evectors, November, 2003 [Refer][Research][Reflect] [OLDaily]

Pitch Journal: Editors' introduction: On the shoulders of giants. On behalf of the entire Open Sustainable Learning Opportunities (OLSO) Research Group at Utah State University, welcome to our new experiment in facilitating the ongoing academic conversation. [Pitch Journal]

Stephen Downes on Pitch: Pitch. Pitch has launched. I'm not sure if the launch is formal yet, but you can access the online magazine and view three articles, including an introductory editorial by David Wiley and Brent Lambert, an article from George Siemens on open source content in education, and one of my articles, The Regina Declaration. Now what's really interesting about Pitch is the peer review system. "Pitch uses a democratic method of peer review where all readers participate in the review process. Instead of sending submitted articles away for 12 months of secret review by three individuals, Pitch allows your peers to review your work. In Pitch everyone 'pitches in' to rate papers submitted to the journal." Kudos to David and Brent for getting this off the ground, and my thanks to them for letting me be a part of it. I look forward to the discussion that will no doubt follow. By David Wiley & Brent Lambert, Pitch, November 27, 2003 [Refer][Research][Reflect] [OLDaily]
