  • how the Internet has altered his mental habits. “I now have almost totally lost the ability to read and absorb a longish article on the web or in print,” he wrote earlier this year. A pathologist who has long been on the faculty of the University of Michigan Medical School, Friedman elaborated on his comment in a telephone conversation with me. His thinking, he said, has taken on a “staccato” quality, reflecting the way he quickly scans short passages of text from many sources online. “I can’t read War and Peace  anymore,” he admitted. “I’ve lost the ability to do that. Even a blog post of more than three or four paragraphs is too much to absorb. I skim it.”

Evolution of an e-Learning Developers Guide by Mike Dickinson : Learning Solutions Maga... - 0 views

  •  
    "Soon after we were underway, I felt we needed an e-Learning developer's guide to preserve some of the decisions we were making. The guide would also serve as a job aid for our inexperienced team members, and perhaps would be a central repository for solutions to authoring challenges as we encountered them. ...
