Credits As History

[ image : educause ]

What a classic diagrammatic overture incomplete with any semblance of connection between the artifact repository and that of cloud based publishing. Where are the swarming body-worn mobile repositories of a meshed network and interconnected global network that makes up the mobile learning ecosphere ?

Yes….another late entry as I meander through Leigh Blackall’s struggle via the Reverend with credits where credits are due and Johnathon Mott’s EDUCause paper on envisioning something beyond the architectures of learning commodification.

It strikes me as I prepare this Phd application that I’m probably  positioned to be agreeing with the matter of factness of an academic register for the refreshing array of ways to say the same thing complete with it’s reinforcement of semantics for correct referencing register whilst disagreeing with the need for a populist approach to redeem credits where credits are due from a personal politic perspective.

Questions I’m asking myself include;

• How many isms should I be bookmarking in a bid to understand the human condition of needing credit ?;
• Is the  history tab enough ?
• Does the LMS actually have any future in a (open) learning network ?
• Can the simple act of sharing knowledge be such a bad thing ?

Probably best I keep writing this open prose on why I’m examining the implications of geo-data enabled body worn technologies on educational organisational futures policy.

Pending the Moodle 2.0 release, who will tell Blackboard that it is dead, dead, dead….even if it has a cleaner interface ( apparently).

A shamless lift from Graham Wegner’s site though, nonetheless, a poignant moment in solidarity as we contemplate just what the heck was that promise ?…….. we so tenderly poised our voting 2008 pen over.

I even dedicated a whole category to it in this ramble of a blog.

I reckon that never has there been a time more pertinent, more urgent, more useful, more timely point to embrace and build a super connected community of learners who’s access to whatever they choose to get is heavily informed by the very educators whom we seem to respect less than the local larrikin lawyer.

Geoff Lubich, Leo Gaggl, Craig Lubich and I are exploring in our own small way some aspects of how to bring that connected learning journey through and with a mobile hive-mind in tow. It sure is a learning curve as we build and forge EDUPOV.
