Key Note from 6-4-09

Listening to Brian Lamb on scocial media and open education

encyclopedia Britannica vs. wikipedia typifies the need/call for open educaiton--Brian Lamb

How many of you have consulted wikipedia in the last month?

How many have edited or otherwise contributed to wikipedia (ever)?

brian lamb discussed the case of students submitting their assignments to wikipedia (WikiProject Murder Madness and Mayhem) where a professor had students contribute to wikipedia and students were almost immediately getting feedback, cool!

brian said, better to not have learning experiences were there is one uber-designer controlling all interactions. Do I feel the need to be the uber-designer? Sometimes...time to self-evaluate!

brian is talking about student's contributing...like our project http://vsfp.byu.edu check it out (if you like Victorian Fiction)


does anyone know where the information about brian's trip to Barcelona is documented? please comment if you do: Jon Mott shared: http://blogs.ubc.ca/brian/2008/11/a-social-layer-for-dspace/

is microblogging my thoughts keeping me from actually getting something out of the presentation, wait what did he just say? I guess so! And yet I am more engaged in other ways.
