Interesting presentation from Dan Rehak, and not only because it introduced me to the word paradata. Dan Rehak argues that the learning materials for pretty much any need already exists somewhere, and the challenge is to find it. He suggests that social media and web 2.0 will provide a new 'Google of learning'. "We need to enable a learning layer on Web 2.0," he argues. "We want to address fragmentation to improve learning, using technology and social collaboration." It's a pretty good presentation, worth the long PDF download, and aligns with a lot of what I've been saying here over the years, but with Rehak's perspective and institutional point of view.
And if you're interested in this presentation, you will definitely want to look at the list of presentations from SE@M 2010, the 4th International Workshop on Search and Exchange of e-le@rning Materials held in September in Barcelona. One presentation that caught my eye was Automated keyword extraction, which ended up recommending Zemanta, which is very slick. Also worth a look is this presentation on IMS Learning Object Discovery and Exchange (LODE).
