Don't Listen to 'Yes'
A while ago, Wired published an article on questioning authority, especially when it comes to having a handle on local knowledge. Now we have a book that suggests ways to elicit that kind of local knowledge to make better decisions: "In his new book, Why Great Leaders Don't Take Yes for an Answer: Managing for Conflict and Consensus (Wharton School Publishing), Roberto describes the toll on organizations when leaders fa From elearningpost on July 25, 2005 at 9:46 p.m..

War on Modders: Everyone gone nuts?
The previously M-rated game "Grand Theft Auto" has hidden sexual content which was disabled in the shipped version. A modder (in this case: "person who modifies or extends a game through software hacking") enabled this feature. A so-called "sex scandal" evolved from this, with the game being X-rated and Take Two (distributor of GTA) and some political entities calling for strictly forbidding modding.

Modernising with Purpose: a Manifesto for a Digital Britain
Comprehensive look at the deployment of information and communications technologies (ICT) in Britian with an emphasis on economic impact and public policy.

World Universities' Ranking on the Web
I thought this was pretty funny, but I should hasten to add that it points to something deeper. This site purports to rank the top 1000 universities based on a web measurement metric: Position = 2 * Ranking(Size) + 4 * Ranking(Visibility) + 1 * Ranking(Rich Files). It was the last - rich files - that gave me the biggest giggle, as I was left wondering about the correlation between PowerPoint, PDF, and academic merit. So I didn't take the rankings very seriously.

E.g., on page 29 of the first volume there's a reference to the "pangolin." Andy consults Wikipedia to discover that they are scaly anteaters. Presumably he didn't look up "pangolin" in the Britannica because he's checking the volumes out of the library one at a time.

More m-Learning speculation
More m-Learning speculation. We have quite a way to go before mobile phones are practical m-Learning delivery tools, in my opinion. Small screens, clunky input arrangements, not to mention high costs for data transfer, and the fact that so many of us use our mobiles constantly for communicating with co-workers and clients, all work against seeing useful learning materials on our cell phones any time soon. I look for it to happen first in Asia (where Flash Lite is already in use to support delivery of interactive content) and in Europe, last in the US.

The long-term impact of e-Learning
The long-term impact of e-Learning. From the study: "Between these two poles, I want to develop the following argument. e-learning cannot be limited to a single function (e.g. delivery mode), for when consciously applied, its impact goes beyond the ramifications of teaching. It causes systemic challenges for the organisation in which it is deployed. Thus, the relationship between e-learning, academic environments and academic teaching is of a complex nature because of the ambiguous meaning of the term as well as the variability of its consequences."
