After EDEN

Di ritorno da una settimana intensa conclusa con la partecipazione a Napoli ad EDEN 2007 "New learning 2.0" provo a tirare le somme.
Sarò cattivo.
Devo dire che mi aspettavo qualcosa di più: pochi interventi di carattere teorico che possano costituire un punto di riferimento e molti report of experiments in the use of blogs and wikis and other Web 2.0 tools. Unfortunately, even the presentations of the plenary session were at a conference as prestigious. Teemu Arina, a young star of the Web 2.0 conference, even with a carefully presented gtraficamente, offered the usual references to the formal-informal and the serendipity of the network at the end of its advertising consulting firm.

Erik Duval Chairman of the bankruptcy project European Foundation Ariadne excuse now and after 5 years and invested millions of euro says that maybe we were wrong, forcing people to fill 80 fields of metadata to describe the learning object is was un errore... e quindi ora propone una "federated research" con repositori inglobati da mezzo mondo e ricerche semplificate (staremo a vedere, del resto cosa si può pretendere da uno che è tuttora technical editor dei famigerati LOM - IMS Learning Object Metadata, quelli, tanto per intenderci che hanno inserito campi sul "grado di granularità" o sulla "densità semantica" di un LO?).

E poi Graham Moore che critica Wikipedia associandola ad Orwell di 1984 per cui se la maggioranza dice che due più due fa cinque questa diviene la verità ufficiale (critica un pochino esagerata vero?) Per non parlare della solita storia del "vino vecchio nella bottiglia nuova",
"il web 2.0 sì però.. conta il metodo, how to manage the learning process .. ", etc., etc. ... things certainly true, but proving he does not understand the essence of a fundamentally different social software and" affordances "that you drag with it.

Again did not understand that the technologies shaping our minds and therefore our actions:
just think how did the photos before you buy digital camera, we were very careful to take, once the image imprinted in the film will remain there forever The result was seen only in photos and then print a roll of film will contain a maximum of 36. Today, however, it can take as much of it contains the memory available (virtually unlimited) and many exposures for each subject. With the result that the average quality has improved, not because we have improved us in the difficult art of photography, but simply because up dozens (or hundreds) of shots of the same subject can choose the ones that were better. In short, it changed the way we do because the digital photos we provide many more degrees of freedom and even non-professionals can have satisfaction without spending a fortune.

pity then for Freedman of Blackboard that could not be present: his speech "Incorporating 2.0 technologies, horizontal communities and human capital frameworks into the higher education setting" I would sentito con interesse per molti motivi, non ultimo capire se il loro tentativo di integrare il web 2.0 nelle piattaforme avrà successo o meno.

***AGGIORNAMENTO direttamente da E. Duval che riporto qui:

Not sure how reliable the automated translation from Italian is, but google and babelfish both suggest you call ARIADNE "bankrupt"? I'm happy to point out that the ARIADNE Foundation (not project) is alive and well :-)

And maybe it wasn't clear from my presentation, but we rely on LOTS of metadata, LOM and others, to help people find relevant resources. LOM is certainly not "ill-famed" in the large communities that I work with. The point I tried to make is rather that LOM should be more hidden from end users. Metadata Remain More Than Ever though that is crucial to enable sophisticated Functionalities.

Just a clarification ... Posted by Erik Duval at 1:16 AM
