Knowledge, Learning, Community
Some great stuff happening in preparation for Alan Levine, Brian Lamb and D'arcy Norman's talk about RSS and learning objects at the MERLOT conferent in August. The three of them are using blogs, wikis and RSS to plan and prepare their presentation ahead of the conference; the summary so far is outstanding, easily the best compilation of resources on the subject so far, and getting better with community-wide feedback. They held a teleconference this afternoon - no audio, unfortunately, but George Siemens has already posted a summary. The discussion continues. What's interesting is that this is happening at MERLOT - now the eduSource project is a MERLOT member, and I am told over and over in meetings that MERLOT won't share its metadata. This makes it a pariah in my books, of course - but the question is: can this presentation convince MERLOT to play nice with others?
