Stephen Downes

Knowledge, Learning, Community
Commentary and discussion of the recent IRRODL on WebCT's future - or lack of same. Note Scott Leslie's commentary. I might add that in the last week I have received replies from people both at Blackboard and WebCT on items I've linked to in this newsletter. But of course they don't want them posted or quoted or anything like that. While I appreciate the clarifications (and they have been in some detail) it really bothers me that they are sent in such a private back-channel fashion. This means that there is no possibility of refuting them - and there are responses I would make to both. Blackboard, WebCT - if you don't like someone someone has said, respond to it publicly, in a blog or a public forum. Take part in the conversation. Send me a URL; I'll link to your commentary, I'll aggregate your feeds in Edu_RSS. Backchannel emails are so 1990s.
