Now ReadItLater is introducing a new Digest feature which helps you get caught up by automatically sorting and organizing articles for you.

  • The term ‘Multiliteracies’ refers to two major aspects of language use today.
  • The first is the variability of meaning making in different cultural, social or domain-specific contexts.
  • the business of communication and representation of meaning today increasingly requires that learners are able figure out differences in patterns of meaning from one context to another.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • The second aspect of language use today arises in part from the characteristics of the new information and communications media
  • extend the range of literacy pedagogy so that it does not unduly privilege alphabetical representations, but brings into the classroom multimodal representations, and particularly those typical of the new, digital media

Perspectives on Tag Clouds for supporting reflection in Self-organised Learning - 1 views

    paper on tagging, clouds, reflective learning Abstract: Tags are popular for organising information in social software based on the personal views of the participants on the information. Tags provide valuable attention meta-data on a person's interests because the participants actively relate resources to concepts by using tags. This paper analyses three designs for tag-clouds that are integrated in the ReScope framework for reflection support. ReScope provides a widget for visualising personal tag-clouds of the tags that were used with social bookmarking services. The presented designs focus on processing and representing attention meta-data on the levels of recency, of collaboration, and of social connectedness from the perspective of situated learning. The present paper analyses how the designs are related to the underlying presumptions for supporting reflection using the different representations of attention meta-data.

Academics and Social Media: #mla09 and Twitter - ProfHacker - The Chronicle of Higher E... - 1 views

shared by Vanessa Vaile on 19 Apr 10 - Cached
  • One category of informal gatherings this year was the “Tweetup” — a meeting of convention attendees who happened to be using the micro-blogging social media tool Twitter.
  • What makes this development significant is the (still, unfortunately) marginal and somewhat disreputable status of social media in academia:
  • via our own Twitter account, ProfHacker solicited answers to the following question: “How did Twitter affect (positively or negatively) your experience of #MLA09?”
  • ...9 more annotations...
  • In the second, the commenter chose to address a different social media tool: the English Job Search Wiki.
  • one new internet phenomenon that does prove useful — for people on both the hiring and applying ends of the job market — is the English Job Search Wiki.
  • Now that I see the power of Twitter for communicating with MLA members, convention attendees, and other interested people, I will think about more ways the MLA can promote conversations that extend well beyond the walls of the cities in which we meet.
  • But buried within the sense that the 140-character form trivializes our work — a complaint about condensation that might not be so far removed from faulting poetry for its failure to present extended realist narratives — is an implied concern about who it is that sees us being trivial.
  • a key form of outreach
  • not just to our colleagues but to the broader intellectual public, and to those whom we need to support higher education
  • until we get over our fears of talking with the broader culture, in the forms that we share with them, we’ll never manage to convince them that what we do is important.
  • Because of the network I created for myself on Twitter, I was able to sit in a packed conference room, listening to a panel full of people I already knew (in a virtual space, who later became people I knew in meatspace) talk to a room full of people I already knew, about issues I understood were directly affecting those real people. Twitter made my conference experience much more real.
  • The year’s lesson in twittering at conferences, for me, is that context is all. We’re still figuring out how media that are at once synchronous and asynchronous, and audiences that are at once present and absent, fit into our comfortable conference-going habits.

  • This paper examines user-‍generated metadata as implemented and applied in two web services designed to share and organize digital media to better understand grassroots classification.
  • metadata has generally been approached in two ways: professional creation and author creation
  • creating metadata, primarily in the form of catalog records, has traditionally been the domain of dedicated professionals working with complex, detailed rule sets and vocabularies
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • A second approach is for metadata to be created by authors.
  • There are problems with this approach as well
  • This paper examines a third approach: user-‍created metadata, where users of the documents and media create metadata for their own individual use that is also shared throughout a community.
