It’s fun exploring the “undiscovered country” of an emerging/dynamic web protocol Daniel. Glad you enjoyed the page. I carefully think over what to share/embed/talk about, but it turns out the greatest value of the information we share is probably not known to us at it’s inception.

I’m loving the collaborative creation/curation of wave but I’d prefer faster loading speeds. It’s a little sluggish.

Hi John,

Thanks for the comment. I have to confess that I haven’t really considered publishing other people’s essays and points of view – but if you’re looking for a space to publish your essays and help you gather your thoughts, I recommend getting your own blog. Then you can publish as often and as much or as little as you like. Let me know when you do and I can post a link here.

I think this is insightful. Few academics seem to have any grip on the economic realities so I applaud your insight.

Here’s my background. I was in the commercial video game development business for awhile (I went platinum as the producer of a PlayStation game when I was living in London) and am now providing online education. I’m interested in this topic since I’m struggling to use my insights about games for kids education.

I’ve been looking for some forums to publish short essays on this topic to help me gather my thoughts and input. Your blog seems appropriate. Would you consider one?

Comment on Answering demand for instruction and guidance… in real-time by igralo

Such industrialized “Demand” based approach works successfully today due to the way search engines and youtube work. Since computer analysis for text content is poor and for video virtually nonexistent these engines work with metadata like tags and keywords.

I don’t believe however this approach will work in the long term. Imagine that they(Demand Media) would have to pay the CDN fees involved. Or consider the fact that advertising works well on current “demand” but is weaker for older materials.

Comment on What is Connectivism trying to be? by Bibiana

Bibiana — Sat, 26 Sep 2009 08:02:24 +0000

hello Daniel,
Thanks for verbalizing so clearly some of my own concerns about Connectivism. I do think scope might be one of the problems and, definitely for me, I feel uncomfortable with the idea that learners volition -me in this course- has nothing to do with what is happening.
Good post and good reflections!
