  • Below is a random sample we assembled of 520 of the 5,800 stimulus-funded transportation projects nationwide, showing how much money to date the federal Department of Transportation has disbursed to individual transportation projects nationwide. We're asking you to help us figure out the status of these projects — whether the project has been started or has been completed, what company got the contract, and how many jobs the company says it retained or created for its stimulus contract.

      A different approach to harvesting. In this case, the audit is being commissioned by a 3rd party, the auditors are the community. The assessment criteria are simple (another assessment should come from state & local inspectors). The interesting data are the presence or status of the projects compared to what is claimed by the funder.

    "By changing their homework assignments from disposable, private conversations between them and me (the way printed or e-mailed assignments work in students' minds) into public, online statements that became part of a continuing conversation, we realized very real benefits."

      consider relationship of writing to critical thinking; grades to competencies....
  • For me, the biggest challenge in teaching a course like this is getting students engaged in the difficult task of analyzing the exercises
  • The deeper institutional issue is granting credit to graduate students for such a course
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • "good writing" seems to mean, for many faculty members, that "You need to write in the style I like," or "I want to do less copy editing."
  • Without departmental support, however, writing with literary imagination is not only difficult to teach but detrimental to graduate students because they will not get credited for the work nor be allowed by dissertation committees to use what they have learned

  • It is not that openness is always right. Rather, it is that we need a balance between open and closed, owned and free, and we are systematically likely to get the balance wrong.
  • We still do not intuitively grasp the kind of property that cannot be exhausted by overuse (think of a piece of software) and that can become more valuable to us the more it is used by others (think of a communications standard).

      key phrase: property that can become more valuable the more it is used.

    This was an MRG 7/15/09 what struck me was the idea of understanding property that becomes more valuable with wider use.

    One of the biggest challenges for a document management system built on SharePoint is scaling lists.  There is actually quite a bit of knowledge spread across the help files, technet documentation, in whitepapers and on blogs… but it's still quite difficult to navigate this challenge.
