In times of change and transformation, one is given the unique opportunity to look at things differently – to step out of the comfort zone and take a different look at how things get done.
there are international trade shows, such as Hunkeler, which we will attend due to its continuous feed focus – an important offering to our customers and the industry. It is also our intent, at the current time, to participate in Drupa.

Since yesterday I have worked out where to place design science on the set of words from yesterday. This is only a start. They may move. Later there may be a proper definition of what "design science" is. Over the break I was thinking about the context and how other words fit together. The idea of "Hello Spiders" is to start with a cloud of words such as might be created by search data analysis. Then the search may find useful content.
This is a start on a group of words or search terms that might fit together. More in later posts.
Cool infographic: How social media is changing events http://bit.ly/TGsVW0 #eventprofs
Infographic is all about the effect of social media on events, mostly positive. So what will happen with the pace of print industry events such as IPEX every four years? Cross Media Live may be more sensible every year. Maybe last year is still worth thinking about.
So the out of time feeling I get may be caused by a slower pace or it may continue. The Winterlude definitely includes BETT and this has real dates.
I wish that more instructors cared about quality. Too many just go with the proprietary text (rarely an open text) with little consideration of the price to students. The cost to students is one aspect of quality. An important one in my opinion that is all too often ignored by instructors who choose them. There are a growing number of excellent quality controlled open texts. Instructors should keep their eyes open. Like proprietary texts some of the open texts lack quality. If that is, the case then do like Peter and pick another one, but don't just presume that the costly text is better. Quite often it isn't. Also, there are growing open online open alternatives to texts. At least check the open texts out before stiffing the students for a high priced text that may be unnecessary.
From what I can make out from the slides it is possible that a MOOC is more disruptive for existing Open Universities than for some other universities. This could be why the UK Open University is investing in a new venture.
