Learning2.0, Identity2.0 and

The Learning2.0 blog comments on Karrer’s blog regarding Learning2.0 and the continued debate.  But what actually caught my eye and attention the most was his simple “use case”:

What if I entered into Google "change oil on my 1997 suburban" and it aggregated nanolearning objects for you entitled:

·    "Disposing of your old oil" from your city's waste department

·    "Working on cars safely" from the auto shop on the corner

·    "Oil change procedures for the 1997 suburban" from Chevrolet

·    A Website with recall notices for American cars

I was just recently introduced to a fabulous presentation on Identity2.0 and I think Id2.0 comes into play in this use case.  Because in order to personalize for items like “city’s waste department” the system will need to “know who you are”.  I also just read about the HR community working on HR-XML.  Sounds like an RSS style wrapper for HR data to me…but I will need to look into it further.

 

I appreciate this post as a practical way of continuing the Learning2.0 and Reusable Learning Object discussion.  Another thought is what if the actual file (or feed) that is the result of the search can become a learning object in and of itself as sort of a dynamic container for the Google-returned elements.  Hmmm J
