The higher ed folks at Sloan-c (mostly faculty) aren't spending much time thinking about web2.0 but there are articles in the Educause publications (positioned for senior administrators and IT) which have been on the leading edge of considering the implications of blogs, wikis, gaming, IM, etc. for a while. I don't see much in the way of translating this into consistent practices related to learning. This is one of the projects I'm working on for a major university.Loretta Donovanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10089229762879788836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15724579.post-1159294824219710762006-09-26T11:20:00.000-07:002006-09-26T11:20:00.000-07:00I totally agree with you.

If sr. managers, and CEOs are reading this stuff by spending $250, then I say, good enough. At least THAT audience will get the info, because they aren't reading our blogs...I'm fairly certain of that.<BR/>I simply want the basic concepts to spread. I think many people will buy and be reading about it for the first time.bschlenkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13519463877110474192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15724579.post-1159290234860856282006-09-26T10:03:00.000-07:002006-09-26T10:03:00.000-07:00Seems to me that they're just jumping on the bandw...Seems to me that they're just jumping on the bandwagon. I find $250 quite expensive for 13 pages of stuff that I'm sure I already have. I also would disagree with their statement that universities are leading the way, as I haven't seen that much innovation from the same folks who keep spending huge amounts on the likes of Blackboard. Perhaps university students are leading the way in incorporating social computing tools.<BR/><BR/>I agree with not buying this report; save your money and let others waste theirs. You, I and other bloggers have already given away more information about "social computing elearning" than these folks are selling.Harold Jarchehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11462304722726586155noreply@blogger.com
