Some articles, all revolving around the same theme, of the rogue/informal/whatever versus the institutional.A lot of this is fallout from the Open Education conference, a lot of it is just in the air. Lisa Gualtieri writes, "while they strategize about how to push messages or disseminate information, they're being preempted by rogue individuals who, in the true spirit of social media, stake a claim and represent their organization with nothing more than permission."
David Porter, speaking more from the institutional side, writes, "For me, what works in a systemic context is an optimal approach to innovation, not an ideal one." Janet Clarey writes, "He is concerned however, that policies may eventually constrain him - he believes the current informal process works because he is 'conscientious and diligent.' THE CURRENT INFORMAL PROCESS WORKS. So why formalize social media (in my mind a highly informal way to learn)?" David Wiley iterates, "'open' is a continuous, not binary, construct. A door can be wide open, completely shut, or open part way. So can a window. So can a faucet." Unless, as Jeremy Brown comments, you're on a submarine.
Still more: Jared Stein comments on Boone George's musings on the tension inherent between individual and common voices: "The Campbell/Groom angle is that students are better served by stewarding their own spaces: emphasis on the individual voice. The Maxwell angle is that students learn about how scholarship functions by authoring together in a space like a wiki: emphasis on the communal voice."
