FeedWordPress Widget: If you blog it, it is no dream

content is not enough
Sat, 2008/11/15 - 14:58 — dnormanBrian wrote a great post about the focus on content creation in the open education movement. There were some great comments on that post - some arguing (correctly, IMO) that there isn’t enough great content available.
But even that misses the point, I fear.

Walking tour of University of Calgary Campus
Mon, 2008/11/10 - 10:13 — dnormanBack in the heady early days of podcasting - all the way back in 2005 - one of the first use cases of the technology was to create “walking tours” where a narrator could guide students through a tour of an area. When video podcasting became possible, it would make the guided tours more effective because you could show supplemental or orienteering images to support the narration.

scott leslie on how sharing works
Sat, 2008/11/08 - 21:57 — dnormanScott Leslie just published a fantastic description of how sharing really works - and how institutions/organizations/etc… miss the real value of sharing. You can’t plan to share, you can’t define parameters, you can’t write specifications and requirements and interoperability guidelines.
