Claude Almansi on 20 Jul 11Patty Shank, July 12, 2011 "A lot of eLearning would look better if it looked like C.R.A.P. Really. No, I'm not making a scatological reference - I mean the four overarching principles of visual design: Contrast, Repetition, Alignment, and Proximity. "

Ernesto Belisario 23 luglio 2011 "Proprio con riferimento all'ambito pubblico, ho notato che aumenta sempre più la distanza culturale tra l'Italia, dove molti Enti - addirittura - bloccano ai propri dipendenti l'accesso a questi siti, e gli altri Paesi in cui si moltiplicano le esperienze di Amministrazioni che scelgono i social media per dialogare con i propri cittadini-utenti. In questi casi, gli Enti dedicano grande attenzione all'adozione di documenti (le cosiddette "Policy") in cui spiegare le ragioni per cui l'Amministrazione si serve degli strumenti social e in che modo un dipendente pubblico deve usarli."

The Common Sense of the Fair-Use Doctrine - Commentary - The Chronicle of Higher Education - 1 views
-
While checking final edits on their new book, two media-studies scholars are informed by their publisher that they must secure permission to use a magazine cover as an illustration of one of their assertions. Instead of dropping the graphic or making cold calls to the magazine, the scholars explain their fair-use rights under copyright-and the publisher's general counsel agrees.
It's not about tools. It's about change. « Connectivism - 0 views

[George Siemens] June 12th, 2007 "...It's the change underlying these tools that I'm trying to emphasize. Forget blogs…think open dialogue. Forget wikis…think collaboration. Forget podcasts…think democracy of voice. Forget RSS/aggregation…think personal networks. Forget any of the tools…and think instead of the fundamental restructuring of how knowledge is created, disseminated, shared, and validated. But to create real change, we need to move our conversation beyond simply the tools and our jargon. Parents understand the importance of preparing their children for tomorrow's world. They might not understand RSS, mashups, and blogs. Society understands the importance of a skilled workforce, of critical and creative thinkers. They may not understand wikis, podcasts, or user-created video or collaboratively written software. Unfortunately, where our aim should be about change, our sights are set on tools. And we wonder why we're not hitting the mark we desire. Perhaps our vision for change is still unsettled. What would success look like if we achieved it? What would classrooms look like? How would learning occur? We require a vision for change. It's reflected occasionally in classroom 2.0 or enterprise 2.0 projects. But the tool, not change centric, theme still arises. We may think we are talking about change, but our audience hears hype and complex jargon. What is your vision for change?"

NB: I am tagging this post by George Siemens "Digital Promise" though it was published in 2007, because what he wrote then is very pertinent to the 2011 Digital Promise initiative.
