Please do not adjust your sets….
Finally upgraded my MT install (my ISP is threatening to heave me off the server if the comments script on my site keeps bringing the server to its knees, the REAL cost of spam!, and I’m hoping this upgrade will help). Apologies for the intrusion.
EPIC 2014 – Go watch this now
http://mccd.udc.es/orihuela/epic/ Social software, recommending systems, Googlezon…the future of media in 2014. Go watch this now. It’s well done and thought-provoking, even if you disagree with the conclusions. (Apologies that I lost the referrer, maybe Wil Richardson) – SWL
Rolling Up Furl and Del.icio.Us Feeds from Edubloggers
http://rollup.org/rollup/rollup.php?id=495 It seems ‘de rigeur’ for the cutting edge edtech blogger to have at the very least a Furl or del.icio.us bookmark account in addition to their blog (let’s not even talk about Flickr for right now). Some, like Alan, have taken the further step of rolling their blog and Furl feeds together (and in [...]
Free alternatives to Breeze?
Like Stephen, I was suitably awed by the nifty Breeze presentation on Wikis that Brian Lamb put together, and like Stephen and James, wished I too could do something similar but without the cost of Breeze. (It should be noted, however, that the niftiness of the presentation seems like it was 15% Breeze and 85% [...]
WikiSpam and Passwords
A few fellow edtech bloggers who have taken up wikis have of late been inundated by wiki spam. I too was pelted almost continuously with wikispam from China from around June through to September when I finally screamed enough! But instead of just chucking my wiki out, I enabled the write password on it. I [...]

http://www.clickz.com/stats/sectors/ traffic_patterns/article.php/3438891 Useful article for those doing presentations on blogs or having to justify their interest in exploring blogs as a phenomenon/technology; some high level stats about numbers of blogs, activity and authorship, etc. – SWL
Conflicted about the Edublog Weblog Awards
http://incsub.org/awards/index.php James Farmer has taken up the challenge and created a site to vote for the Inaugural Edublogs Awards. I fell pretty conflicted about this: – on the one hand, it’s great to recognize excellence and all of the hard work some folks have put in. – on the other hand, this feels somewhat antithetical [...]
Next-Generation Course Management Systems: Beyond Accidental Pedagogy presentation from Educause Conference
http://www.educause.edu/LibraryDetailPage/ 666&ID=EDU04151 Already the Educause resource centre RSS feeds mentioned below bear fruit – this page points to an interesting presentation from the Educause conference on ‘Next Generation CMS.’ This is by the same folks who wrote the Educause Quarterly article of the same title a while back. There’s a few good things in the [...]
RSS Feeds for Educause Resource Centre
http://www.educause.edu/content.asp?SECTION_ID=11 A few people have noted of late that Educause is sporting some blogs, but news to me was their browseable collection of resources. Of particular interest was the fact that each sub-node in their subject taxonomy had its own RSS feed, making it simple to keep track of new Educause-related resources on ‘open source’ [...]
CWSpace Poster at SPARC Institutional Repository Workshop
http://cwspace.mit.edu/docs/ProjectMgt/Reports/SPARC-IR-Workshop/sparc-poster.html Via a post on the Dspace-LOR mailing list by William Reilly of MIT comes mention of this poster concerning various content packaging methods for LOs. The poster was produced for use at the SPARC Institutional Repository Workshop by the CWSpace project, a project investigating the use of Dspace to archive MIT’s Open CourseWare materials. [...]
