The problem with intellectual property campaigns
From the out of the mouths of babes department.... Last night my six-year-old son started crooning along with
Ella Fitzgerald doing Cole Porter. When I looked at him in wonder, he said "I like to copy the song!" Then he said - "If you copy the whole song, then you've learned the song." That about sums it up. It's my experience, in both of my former lives as a musician and as a programmer, that I&apo From

Cognitive and Logical Rationales for e-Learning Objects
This is a long pdf paper that appeared recently in Educational Technology & Society; the moderator and summarizer of the discussion is George von Brevern of the University of Bern. I first noticed an announcement about the paper in Distance-Educator.com Daily News. There is some heavy slogging through academic jargon and references in this presentation but careful readers will be rewarded by a complex and interesting analysis of the parameters of e-Learning.

A timeline of its demise
Nov. 9, 1989: East Berlin district head Guenther Shabovski calls an evening press conference to announce new travel regulations as part of the East German government's attempt to pacify growing protests. Reading from a prepared statement in front of television cameras and gathered journalists, Shabovski announces that private persons would be able to travel abroad without a complicated and lengthy application procedure. A journalist asks when the new regulation would take effect. Shabovski, not sure how to respond, answers "uhhh, right away." Thousands begin rushing to Berl From

The agreements were part of a three-year drive by the Redmond, Wash., software giant to make peace with adversaries, mostly through financial settlements, and end years of wrangling over its business practices.

Email Teaching Scheme Under Fire
Sign of the times. "Teachers' unions today attacked a plan that would see staff answering email queries from their GCSE pupils outside school hours." They are concerned not only about the requirment that teachers work outside school hours but also about potentially abusive emails sent to teachers' homes. Both concerns are valid and could easily have been predicted prior to the proposal. Replacing study leave with online contact hours? Dumb idea. By Staff and Agencies, The Guardian, November 9, 2004 [

Meta-Data Repositories Meet Semantics
This article gives readers a glimpse into what is intended by metadata and metadata repositories. Specifically, "semantic metadata ensures that technical and business users are relying on common business meaning, regardless of how it is represented or referred to. This reduces the all too frequent communications gap that exists within large organizations between IT and the business." Sounds good, but look at the presumption it is based on: "Semantics define a concept's meaning in a manner that is both unambiguous and universally correct in meaning." This is not a sound presumption on whic From
