Glen responded with a new post about the talk and has touched on some inportant ideas I hadn’t considered while listening to the recording. “In the new millenium jounralism can no longer be a monologue, it has to be a dialogue with our readers”. Surely that applies to education as well.

Been singing that worthy song for some time now - you're the first in quite some time to join in. Recently I had a near heated exchange with an IT guy who mostly made silly remarks about the socially networked Internet being a passing phase. But one thing he did say that has some stick is the experience he had with a course that used a blog, wiki and email list. He said he was really tired of having to manage the navigation and login across those three sites. I reckon the same navigational stresses are very present in LMSs, and the design of the intergration of the blog, wiki and email list could be causing any number of problems.. personally, I think the best design is to run everything centrally around the blog.. but others may be around the email list. Either way, one of the small pieces that are loosely joined should be central. Listen to this <a href="http://www.itconversations.com/shows/detail550.html" rel="nofollow">keynote talk by Rob Curley</a> talking about how much his local newspaper has changed. Imagine if we had 1/10 of the engagement and dynamism of this in education! Right on Glen
