One of the challenges I’ve set myself this year is to write some sort of book about Yahoo Pipes. Reading Presentation Zen three or four weeks ago, I started to imagine the form such a book might take. What I aspired to was something uncluttered, something that would contrast with the typical confusion of words [...]   [Read the rest of this article...]

Although I subscribe to a lot of online app blogs, I don’t subscribe to them all, instead relying on twitter and subscriptions to other commentator blogs to do some of the filtering for me. This isn’t always reliable, of course, and sometimes I rely on “new” flags to alert me to new features in some [...]   [Read the rest of this article...]

Das EduCamp in Hamburg ist vorbei. Ich konnte leider nicht teilnehmen, habe aber mit großen Interesse die aufgezeichnete Podiumsdiskussion verfolgt und bedanke mich auch für die Statements von Kerstin und Helge, sowie auch von Prof. Schulmeister die uns daran erinnern, dass es keine Revolution ist, sondern dass wir einen langen Weg der Forschung vor uns [...]  [Read the rest of this article...]

I have often had problems helping students learn to analyze qualitative data such as interviews, meeting transcripts, field notes etc. It seems common understanding is to read and extract the themes- but what does that actually mean and how do you know if you are doing it correctly?
I thus was motivated [...]  [Read the rest of this article...]

 More on filtering and knowledge, this from David Weinberger. Specifically, "The real problem isn't the DIKW's hijacking of the word 'knowledge' but its implication that knowledge derives from filtering information. It doesn't. We can learn some facts by combing through databases. We can see some true correlations by running sophisticated algorithms over massive amounts of information. All that's good. But knowledge is not a result merely of filtering or algorithms. It results from a far more complex process." DIKW stands for the 'Data - Information - Knowledge - Wisdom' hierarchy. In view of this, tries again. David Weinberger, Harvard Business Review, February 5, 2010 [Tags: Information] [Link] [Comment]

 After railing recently in favour of simplicity, it seems fair to post on simplicity made difficult. The paper is philosophical and therefore (a) dry, and (b) entrenched in the view that everything must be propositional in nature. Hence, the theses 'simplicity' include, in part, "There are propositions and they instantiate the fundamental monadic properties of truth simpliciter and falsity simpliciter." Sigh. Yeah. Well, I said earlier than numbers are simple, and numbers aren't propositions (yes, but the statement that "numbers are simple" is a proposition). The error is in searching for some underlying essential property of 'simplicity'. Anyhow, I just thought it would be interesting to see some of the sort of thinking behind some of these concepts.

 Don Tapscott and Anthony D Williams argue that universities should embrace collaborative learning, mass customization, and discovery learning. But, mostly, collaborative learning. "Universities need an entirely new modus operandi for how the content of higher education is created. The university needs to open up, embrace collaborative knowledge production, and break down the walls that exist among institutions of higher education and between those institutions and the rest of the world. I think he`s sort of right, though I wouldn't focus on collaborating so much as sharing and cooperating, and I wouldn't focus on classes and professors so much as learning in a community. More from the cuttent issue of EDUCAUSE Review. Don Tapscott and Anthony D. Williams, EDUCAUSE Review, February 5, 2010 [Tags: Online Learning, Customization, EDUCAUSE] [Link] [Comment]
