I've commented elsewhere on the ills of lockstep illustration, in which talks are rendered as they are given. Not only does it betray a lack of faith in the audience, but it is also demeaning to the power of images. I recall a class I suffered, on "learning" in which the slides would be …
Exam body sorry over BattleTech robot blunder - The Age You can't make this stuff up. Or you all too easily could. Here's an article on how a BattleTech Marauder inserts itself an exam question on Nikolai Kochergin's Storming the Winter Palace on the Russian Revolution. VCE History: Revolutions exam apology BattleTech Marauder, Russia. I …
Sitting in on a presentation of "simulation software" for education, I was bemused by the performativity of the whole event. This seems only appropriate since the software itself was less a form of simulation—and even barely a form of software, as someone who knows these things pointed out—and more a "simulation of software." I was …
Think Social Media meets Citation Management. Keep track of your citations while seeing what others are looking at. Mendeley is making some smart choices, amongst them making their API public. Think of what you could do with this data. And the impact it could have on how we do research and collaboration. I've already got …
I've commented on another talk by Sir Ken Robinson before... But now he's been given a makeover by RSA Animate. Very cool to see what they've done. But here's my question: does it strike you that it is much more difficult to follow his presentation when they lay it all out for us? Indeed, if …
Quote of the day: It’s as if Blackboard is somebody with hippocampal damage, that has severe amnesia,” he said. “It’s never seen you before, other than knowing that you have an account in the system. The systems outside learn about you. But the systems typically in academia do not. Robert S. Bramucci via Like Netflix, …
We live in the age of search. The question is not what is known, but what is next. Possible combinations. This video shows a machine that trawls patents, serving up an endless series of related patent drawings. But this is not so new, either. Georg Philipp Harsdörffer was fascinated, in the 17th century, by the …
During my talk, a few weeks ago, on virtual technology and its relationship to education, I argued that technology, applied to education, tends to be imagined as a kind of savior, rescuing education from it's banal reality. But it's not so simple: in fact, educational space has, from its beginnings, imagined itself as a virtual …
The supreme irony would be if the real shift in education is not from public to charter schools, but that both could be eclipsed by what appears to be a drop in the bucket, the smallest possible unit of education: home-schooling. Representing, by its nature a fringe move in education, its marginal status hinges less …
Just getting ready for my talk this weekend at the TCETC 2010: Technology, Media & Designs for Learning conference. Although who knows what I'll actual manage to say at 9:50am on a Sunday morning! These are not philosopher's hours. Anyway, stop on by. I'll be by the coffee pot. Here's the abstract. I promise I …
