Jeff Jarvis on Repost. us , embedded content
Found this through Repost blog, think this link will work here. Makes a lot of sense but I need to add some comment as well as just copying.
Repost on Squarespace, apology and help please
As far as I know the code to add the repost button on Squarespace is in need of an update. So I don't know how to add it to this blog.
Please assume that all content is Creative Commons , attribution please. So mention hello spiders somewhere.
So far the Repost idea is working well. I get an email each day with suggestions. At least one seems to fit. Maybe not every day but enough to keep looking.
Test from Repost - Climate Change Denial Bingo
On the eve of Obama’s climate speech, we invite you to play “Climate Change Denial Bingo!” (via Pando Daily)By David Holmes On June 25, 2013Today, President Obama will deliver a speech at Georgetown University calling for the US to cut carbon emissions, prepare for the impacts of climate change, and lead international efforts to address global climate change…
Hello Jeff Jarvis, the MOOC and the lecture Guardian style
Another day, another link that Jeff Jarvis could comment on.
It's too early to write off the lecture
If cassettes and video did not kill off live lectures, why should the internet, asks Jonathan Wolff
As far as I know nobody has claimed that the lecture will vanish anytime soon.
It would just be calming if the Guardian Education pages sometimes had actual news about the MOOC as based in the UK. Please Jeff, bring some reality from New York.
Meanwhile the Guardian advertises master classes from the King's Cross campus. This is not part of digital first, methinks.
Mark Coles beyond academic publishing
The third part of Mark Coles on digital media has now started to play on World Service radio. Download also available. It is now clear there is one each for radio, newspapers and television. Then next week a roundup. So not much on magazines or books.
The bandwidth for TV content to come through the Web is considerable so there can be no technical problem in distributing books, look at the size of PDF files for example. So the barriers are somewhere else. Journals are now mostly digital but you need a user ID etc from the university. Actually much more complicated than walking in to a print reading room.
So for the connections between [management learning, quality systems, learning organisations, whatever elearning is currently called] I am looking at online and B2B magazines. There may be an academic way to express this later but it is getting less obvious how to do this.
Sorry, going off topic, back to Mark Coles.
I don't think he is quite fair about existing YouTube content. I have done a lot of this in the UK and it is not all about cats. We don't have to go to a studio in LA to move up a level. There is still scope using the sunlight soon to be available in the UK and consumer electronics.
Meanwhile Repost as tried out on the IPEX 2002 blog is working ok. I like the idea that blogs can mix and match. Soon radio will be similar. TV may take longer. Academic publishing a bit of a mystery. It may stay exactly the same for ages. Or some of the discussion from social media will creep in round the edges.
