Yesterday afternoon I took part in one of the regular edTech podcasts being aired by the gang from Saskatchewan. During the podcast I mentioned this checklist for Web 2.0 that is being used to evaluate new applications. It's worth spelling out in full (revised for clarity):
CRLF- a service should be able to handle structured MicroContent
CRLF- the data should be primarily outside; a service should be processing MicroContent and not storing MicroContent
CRLF- for each MicroContent Item the user determines the usage license
CRLF- a service should have many feeds to which clients can subscribe and which mix and match the processed MicroContent in any way imaginable
CRLF- a service should allow its functionality to be integrated in other services
CRLF- a service should not only live on the network, but also allow tight integration with the desktop
CRLF- a user should not have to create a new identity for each service he or she wishes to use
CRLF- a user should be able traverse MicroContent space on the field level and decides for him or her self what is relevant.
CRLFHere is the checklist applied to a new service. Also mentioned in the podcast was this link about an online gym class.CRLF
