Higher Ed, Industry, Alliance Gains Momentum
Syllabus,
May 10, 2002
Syllabus is a good newsletter (if you haven't seen it you should check it out at 'http://www.syllabus.com) but it does some odd things sometimes. This item is a case in point. An article titled "Higher Ed, Industry, Alliance Gains Momentum" is listed in yesterday's newsletter. The article points to HEKATE, the Higher Education Knowledge and Technology Exchange. But the content of the Syllabus link is taken directly from a press release titled "CWRU Helps Start Education Technology Group" issued April 11 by the Case Western Reserve University. Nowhere in any of this is there any suggestion that HEKATE has gained any momentum - indeed, browsing through the records shows a small and static core of members. So what's up? Why dredge up copy from a month old news release, give it a misleading title, and tout it as something new? Could it be related to SCT's May 8 announcemt that it is joining HEKATE? Ah, but this too is old news; SCT's Phil Clark has been sitting on the board CRLFsince November. I would be less of a cynic if there were't so much - so very much - to be cynical about.
