Hey Ila! There's a Diigo group from Kansas State University focused on Digital Ethnography. Just thought you might find something helpful in their bookmarks.
2007 conference at Open University UK , with lectures from Etienne Wenger and Yrjö Engeström - like they also met in 2010 in Aalborg at the Networked learning conference.
The lectures were followed by discussion between the presenters. The page offers access to full papers and a PPT presentation where Engeström further develops his theory of mycorrhizae, (also known as rhizome)networks growing uncontrolled, in the wild
Hi brenda, can you tell what you like about this doc? In the world of e-learning, we tend to take a doc on the future of e-learning dating 2001 not to serious anymore. Nevertheless, we can learn from looking back and see if our predictions in the past are realized.
Good question, Joost. It really is a historical document. I am looking for frameworks for different ways that people understand learning theory related to online learning. Taylor's five generation framework was something I hadn't seen before - but since I marked this one, I found the breakdown in another document as well - so maybe it is more common than I thought and maybe it is a way of looking at the history that others are already familiar with. For me, it was a new way.
I think it is a good idea to annotate these when we mark them and I will try to do that. Sometimes i am in a hurry and skip that step, but it would be more helpful (even to me!) if I did not
I love reading Giroux (who wrote one of the chapters). He is so smart and sees such interesting perspectives and (but) as one of my professors who was a classmate of his noted - and he knows it.
This looks like a really interesting book, Barb. Thanks for adding it. I think I will order it - if it doesn't cost hundreds of dollars!
This is one of those titles that are owned by Springerlink. What I reaaly like are the tags suggested: I've recycled them here Information Overload - Emergency Management - communities of practice - professional communications - recommender systems
Abstract
Thirty four professionals who are part of a community of practice in the field of health related emergency response management provided information about the sources of information that they currently use the most, as well as their unmet information needs, and the kinds of information systems tools they would like to have. This professional community relies heavily on the Web, but they report severe information overload, in terms of not easily being able to find the kinds of information they want, amid the deluge of information that is there. In particular, they would find a system that uses social tagging and social recommender system features to be very useful for accessing relevant documents in the "gray literature." We suggest that services such as these will be increasingly important for professional communities in general.
Mark Warschauer is one of the most knowledgeable in the field of developing online education. His advice on what to share in your Statement of Purpose for a Ph.D program resonates with some insight in what NOT to tell :-)
" People who are reading a SOP for Ph.D. programs care about two things: (1) Do you have the potential to be an outstanding scholar? And (2) are your research interests a good match for the Ph.D. program and its faculty? Anything beyond these two things is superflous. Your SOP should thus be directed to getting these two things across. "

nVivo book on Google books- part of it can be read online - although tenyears of age could have many interesting aspects on using software for qualitative data analysis
Video recording from a conference lecture in 2010 I think, with Jean Lave speaking about learning as a social practice. Much as I recall her Copenhagen seminars back in 2000 The first minutes of audio are quite bad, but I think it gets better.
"Jean Lave, PhD en antropología social de la Universidad de Harvard y teórica ampliamente reconocida en el campo del aprendizaje social, dictó el 21 de abril la conferencia Apprenticeship in Critical Ethnographic Practice, realizada por el Departamento de Psicología de la Facultad de Ciencias Sociales de la Universidad de los Andes."
