Really interesting summary of a day-long seminar by Mark Oehlert on social learning and games. Some good stuff here, including a link to the game-building community Kongregate, the set of Twitter apps at oneforty and this useful diagram on designing social interfaces. But also useful is the discussion. Like, "The main barriers for social media implementations are around Fear, Control and Trust, not cost, technology or anything else you'll imagine." And, The opposite of imposed structure is not chaos... the opposite of an imposed structure is an emergent structure, one that forms over a time based on the interactions of a lot of people." And "People's time is a zero-sum game. If you're adding social media, it's got to make something else easier." And "You can't learn to swim by sitting on the shore. You need to be in social media to understand the phenomenon."
