Digg and the So-Called "Wisdom of Mobs" - Mashable - 0 views

  • For the wisdom of crowds to work, every individual must work independently.
    • Michelle Krill
       
      After hearing about wikis and collaborative editing, this seems to be somewhat of a contradiction. However, the fact that the independent nature is important as users rate for their own use rather than the group is also interesting.

Mashing up the Once and Future CMS - 0 views

  • To innovate or wait: that is the question confronting IT managers on an almost weekly basis.
  • Perhaps the question instead should be how best to move in this direction yet avoid the faddish false starts that the Chronicle writer cautioned against.
    • Michelle Krill
       
      I agree that this is the important question. Start with curriculum and then choose a tool/technique.
  • In a nutshell, this theory holds that learning is strengthened, deepened, and made more effective when it is social, is engaged, provides formative assessment (as opposed to just summative), is relevant (tying content to students' concerns), and offers learners multiple paths.

    • Michelle Krill
       
      Well, that sums it up very nicely.
  • If one studies this table long enough, a gestalt emerges: the Web 1.0 looks uncannily like the teaching paradigm, whereas the Web 2.0 resembles the learning paradigm.
  • The opportunity lies in students being able to engage in activities and create content that lives outside the course site—in their own space, a space that is a resource and staging ground for their work across their entire academic career.
  •  
    But how do we know that providing Web 2.0 features such as social bookmarking or Facebook-like functionality will actually improve learning?
