Stephen Downes

Knowledge, Learning, Community
Scott Leslie describes how to track the use of learning resources, and deals with the objections to them. "I can hear the objections already... does this infringe on the idea of "openness"? What level of disclosure is required? ... I do want to respect these concerns, but at the same time, I wonder how valid they are. You are reading this content right now, and it has a number of 'web bugs' inserted in it to track usage yet is shared under a license that permits reuse." For the record, I do not use 'web bugs' or other tracking software in OLDaily. I find it distasteful, like looking in people's living room windows. Your mileage may vary, and I'm not making judgements.
