Guardian provides a solid ov if the context and origin of the work

David Wiley's instance of OE at openeducation.us. Participants are asked to engage in academic work, bootstrapping the content for the next wave. Earn badges. And Wiley's method gets promoted. I like it - and the badges, well, they are hypericonic.

Whose desires? Not mine. But when Siemens speaks, I listen, and I admire the moderate tone he takes in his comments on entrepreneurial reform of ed. But I wonder if the money boys need a public whacking, as in a comment by Lisa Lane: "So it shouldn’t be surprising that teachers and students are not the focus here – they are the obstacles to creating the quality product. Besides, after over a century of public education, surely they had their chance."

And, by the way, entrepreneurs don't have a pedagogy. They are entrepreneurs, not teachers.

fair OV.

Class notes are epistemologically weird. On the one hand, they feel quite private, but, on the other, if your understanding of what went on in class is too idiosyncratic, then you’re likely to do poorly on exams. (Also, to whatever extent a class is a shared intellectual enterprise, there should be at least *some* common understanding of what has gone on during our time together.) It can be hard to improve one’s notetaking skills, because it’s traditionally such an individual practice. Enter the wiki.

Not bad for generic advice. More about AoM than email, but, hey.

the testing issue is a red herring. just focus on the fable.

Interview with Shirky on social reading, which point to the how people use what they read. A few side remarks on publishing:"Publishing is going away. Because the word “publishing” means a cadre of professionals who are taking on the incredible difficulty and complexity and expense of making something public. That’s not a job anymore. That’s a button. There’s a button that says “publish,” and when you press it, it’s done."

Is it really a fiddle when it's the BL? Aren't the experts just correcting what they find? I mean, it's the BL. The taxpayer expense is a red-herring. Its the "Wikipedian-in-Residence" that's interesting.

For summer et al: blended learning. Pretty good exchange covering the field of blended learning, with links. An aggregation that needs further annotation.

Add this to The Horrors of Data Aggregation. from Lori Andrews is a law professor at Chicago-Kent College of Law.

A set of diagrams and maps illustrating how learners make sense of their early encounter with a PLE/MOOC environ.

"The teacher’s coherence or subject views aren’t “duplicated” by students. Of course some basic knowledge elements exist, but the way we come to know them in networks is different from the process of coming to know them in classrooms."

1. They reflect the sensemaking activity that the individual has experienced – how he connected different concepts within a course or how he came to understand the relationship between different entities.

2. They are a sensegiving tool. When learners are transparent in their learning through the production and sharing of artifacts, they teach others.
