What "Postures" Make Up Your Personal Learning Environment
Just now a silly argument broke out in twitter concerning the acronym “PLE” that I wanted to follow up on. I say “silly” because it was the classic “It’s personal, not monolithic” complaint with the term, which I get and agree with. My response is not to defend the “PLE” acronym but instead just say [...]
Jim Farmer's Eyewitness Account of the Blackboard Patent Trial
http://mfeldstein.com/an-eye-witness-account-of-the-trial/ Through a combination of resignation towards what seemed a pre-determined outcome and pre-occupation with Northern Voice when it was announced, I managed to miss most of the recent hair-pulling that the ridiculous finding in Blackboard’s favour prompted. And thank goodness too, my hair couldn’t have stood it But I did go read Jim Farmer’s [...]
What this slow learner learned at Northern Voice – The 2008 Edition
I am not certain enough time has passed yet to have fully digested the last few days (heck I haven’t even left Vancouver and still get one more culinary delight before I go in the form of Dim Sum with the crew). (Sheesh this post has taken a while to write and it is still [...]
OPML file of all Northern Voice attendee blogs
http://wiki.northernvoice.ca/f/nv-feeds-subscriptions.xml I hate technorati. It doesn’t freakin’ work. And this year, for whatever reasons, there seems to be a reluctance to provide a “Planet Northern Voice” aggregator like in past years. So my solutions was to cull all of the “blog” feed URLs from the attendees pages. I’m using this directly in my Google reading [...]
Just One More Book!! Children's book Review Podcasts
http://www.justonemorebook.com/ Email to me asking me to blog a site almost inevitably end up in the round file, but I’ll make an exception for the playful Just One More Book!! site for a few reasons. One is simply its subject, reviews of children’s books. As a parent of young kids I can never get enough [...]
Giunti Labs acquires HarvestRoad
http://www.giuntilabs.com/info.php?vvu=15&pud=450 Increasingly I am focusing on things other than repositories (Amen!) but it still occupies some of my attention, so this news (even 3 months after the fact) still caught my eye. Apparently Harvest Road, an Australian learning object repository/learning content management system vendor, has been acquired by the Italian-based elearning product vendor Giunti Labs. [...]
Dare2BDigital – An Online 'Gameshow' to Showcase eLearning in BC
http://event.dare2bdigital.ca/ The folks at BCcampus (and this may be logrolling but let me be clear up front, while I work for the folks who have produced Dare2bdigital, I had nothing to do with the project) have come up with an interesting experiment to promote online learning in the province. Dare2BDigital is a six-week “event” in [...]
MegaTrends in E-Learning Provision
http://nettskolen.nki.no/in_english/megatrends/ Via the sporadic but often interesting e-learning reviews site comes a note about this large-scale study of, well, large-scale European e-learning providers (or “megaproviders” as the report calls them.) Of most interest is perhaps the “Analyses of European megaproviders of e-learning” and the “Recommendations for robust and sustainable large-scale e-learning”. Me, I’m not so [...]
Presentation – Weaving Your Social Bookmarking Knowledge Network
http://solr.bccampus.ca/wiki/index.php/Weaving_Your_Social_Bookmarking_Knowledge_Network As part of my perennial quest to foment change, I’m trying to initiate a series of grassroots “brown bag lunch online presentations” within BCcampus. We are a distributed organization of 20+ people spread across over a half-dozen locations, so building community and sharing our practices and knowledge informally can be very hard. This is [...]
