Social Software (podcast)
(podcast)
Ross Mayfield at a conference in Estonia. Talking about wiki, social tags, social bookmarks (flickr, del.icio.us, Technorati) and blogging.
Interesting quotes: “occupational spam” (email at work), “breadcrumbs [of info] people leave behind”, “if your company doesn’t have a weblog, it doesn’t exist”.

Blogs@ Anywhere
Blogs @ Anywhere: High fidelity online communication
James Farmer and Ann Bartlett-Bragg
This paper includes a brief review of some of the institutional and individual blog projects that are taking place in higher education. In doing so it examines the different types of blog environments that are being used in terms of their communication dynamics and subsequent impact upon teachers, learners and pedagogy. Further, a more detailed examination is made of the use of blogs in teaching and learning in courses at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS). In light of these studies and examination, possible approaches to implementing blogs in institutional settings are outlined in the form of an alternative Online Learning Environment. In addition, a study to be undertaken in 2006 examining the impact of blogs on teaching and learning at Deakin University will be described.
