Science of the Invisible ~ Stephen's Web ~ by Stephen Downes - 0 views

  • Cost of Peer Review Exceeds the Cost of Giving Every Researcher a Grant Scott Leslie passed this along. "We show that the $40,000 (Canadian) cost of preparation for a grant application and rejection by peer review in 2007 exceeded that of giving every qualified investigator a direct baseline discovery grant of $30,000 (average grant). This means the Canadian Federal Government could institute direct grants for 100% of qualified applicants for the same money." Ironically, this report is published in a subscription-locked peer-reviewed paper, the total cost of which is entangled in the mechanisms for selecting which papers are good enough to publish. Pot, meet kettle. A.J. Cann, Science of the Invisible, April 21, 2009. [Comment] [Link] [Tags: Subscription Services, Books, Canada]

Founded in 1967, it now houses several thousand datasets of interest to a wide range of researchers and provides resource discovery and support for secondary use of quantitative and qualitative data in research, learning and teaching.

Universities' use of virtual technologies is 'patchy' - 0 views

    We probably shouldn't be unduly concerned with QM's apparent lack of progress in the Web2.0 area....yet....

    Article in the Guardian education about HE's use of Web2.0 technologies. It's driven by the publication of a report by Sir David Melville but highly annoyingly does not provide any reference for the report itself....I have managed to track it down....see the "Higher Education in a Web2.0 World" bookmark!

Diffusion Theory & Instructional Technology - 0 views

  •  
    This paper discusses how the theories of innovation diffusion have been incorporated into the field of instructional technology.

    Saw this on a science feed and only scanned it so far. The paper is old, but it might be interesting - various fields are interested in how innovations spread through a community (e.g. agriculture) and considering those theories with respect to education might be interesting. Anyone seen anything similar in the past?
