Knowledge, Learning, Community

I had a brief surge of excitement when I say this article (21 page PDF) thinking that it addressed connectivism and the new developments of web3, but I was disappointed to find it referred back to the definition of e-learning 3.0 used back in 2011 by people like Steve Wheeler in this presentation to talk about the semantic web applied to e-learning. So what we get here is a relatively straightforward application of semantically-based analytics applied to e-learning. It presents this in the context of an application and framework called i-SoLearn, and reports some experimentation and results. I would rate the results as 'mixed' - students who were disinterested in social networks didn't really benefit, and students who had negative sentiments found the technology difficult.
