For those of you who have been following this blog, you will recall that last academic year 05/06 I ran a trial with my HND Computer Systems Engineering students where I used the VLE to investigate the delivery of about 20% of the course material based around the Social Constructivist model. The particular framework that I chose for this was the ‘Community of Enquiry’ from Garrison, Anderson and Archer.

I live in central Pennsylvania so I guess this is to be expected but.please. Our school board was approving its budget for the next year and there was a line item of $327,000 for the purchasing of nine mobile laptop labs each having close to 30 computers. The district officials said: the investment is justified as more class materials are becoming available on computer software and more students can access laptops at one time, rather than sending classes to desktop computer labs with limited num

From a post - Professional Cat Herder - In my line of work, corporate training, I have seen this first hand several times. Management scratching their heads because people aren't taking advantage of the resources that are available. We have all heard the saying, "You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make them drink.†We just haven't done a good job of telling the horse that it is hot and drinking now will prevent thirst in the immediate future.

I've run into the question of how diverse the voices are in the blogosphere before. In Blogs vs Discussion Groups someone said that blogs - "felt so. old white guys club." Janet Clarey's - Women's Voices in the Edublogosphere points out that we have to think about who the women bloggers are - there are some really great women bloggers, but it would seem they are the minority.

I just finished reading a blog post on Read/Write Web - eLearning 2.0 - All You Need to Know. Normally, I find the content on R/WW to be pretty good, but this time, it left me a bit flat. I'm a big believer in eLearning 2.0 and it's interesting to R/WW's take on eLearning 2.0. But the title - "everything you need to know" was a particularly bad choice of words.

So it's official. Apparently your choice of social networking site indicates what social class you belong to. A recent US research project (by a PhD student mind you) has reported that users of FaceBook are generally toffs from wealthier homes and are more likely to study in further/higher education than that great unwashed working class lot who like using MySpace.

A warm welcome and very best wishes to Gordon Brown, the UK's new Prime Minister. Although this blog is not the right place to express my political opinions, I must confess to having warm feelings for Gordon. He might be a bit dour on the surface, but he's actually got a fair sense of humour, as I experienced when I saw him speak at the Brighton Festival in May of this year.

Universal principles of design , by William Lidwell, Kritina Holden and Jill Butler (Rockport, 2003) is a gloriously-presented compendium of 100 design ideas that, if not universal, can certainly be applied in a wide variety of settings. What I like most about the book is that it looks so good, reinforcing the importance of aesthetics in establishing first impressions and developing pride of ownership (an issue I discussed a few weeks ago in Getting in Touch With Your Feelings ).

Yesterday I blogged that there was little or no difference between FaceBook and MySpace, principally because I thought there was no difference between the social class profiles of users. Now it seems that there may be a difference between the two social networking services after all. A new report (see BBC News online) reveals that MySpace is fast losing ground to both FaceBook and Bebo , and that in the UK in particular, these two are much more popular.
