Creating a good presentation is much more than just clicking a few dialog boxes and typing some text. It requires knowledge and planning-lots of it. With the PowerPoint 2007 Bible you will not only be able to build a presentation with PowerPoint, but you’ll also be able to explain why you made the choices you did, and you’ll deliver that presentation smoothly and with confidence. Experienced PowerPoint presenters will find the book full of coverage ...

As posted on my elearnspace site, I have an article available on New spaces and structures of learning: the systemic impact of connective knowledge, connectivism, and networked learning (MS Word file). The concepts explored in the article are reflective of a previous discussion on this site about "a world without courses". How long, after all, can we flirt at the edges of change before we seek a full embrace?

I’m doing a lot of work in Drupal at the moment and the thought occurred that an expanded explanation on the subject would be quite useful - if not now then at some point in the near future. So this post will seek to explain what Drupal is, what it does, and its customisation and extensibility options. What is Drupal? From a technical standpoint Drupal is a Content Management System, or CMS. That is, it ...

I've been asked to write an article for the eLearning Guild about the Learning Lab and proposal process, so I began reading some research on creativity and innovation as sources of inspiration. As always happens in my life, when I bombard my brain with new information it starts creating mass metaphors to tie everything together into a cohesive structure of knowledge. An interesting quote that stuck out to me on my quest - "Look before ...

Open educational resources (OER) continue to gain significant popularity. It's an exciting space. Lots happening: pen text book publishers, OER wikis, handbooks and tutorials, etc. Just came across this: OER Handbook. It is a useful starter resource for academics that are new to the space. It was an interesting experience reading the book. Perhaps because I read it online, I didn't see any mention of authors (until the end). I assumed that the book was ...

As I read about creativity sometimes I feel as though I could be reading a book about simulations – the emphasis on collaboration and “work as play”. With each page, I walk the blending lines between eastern and western thought. And of course, scattered throughout this research is the ever-emerging, ever-complex systems theory of EVERYTHING, since the world is in some way a giant functioning system. Sometimes there are so many points of view and ...

I’ve been reading all sorts of starry eyed accounts as to how the new browser from Google dubbed Chrome is going to kill Windows. As someone who is absolutely dazzled by Chrome, I’m here to tell you that it isn’t the case. Certainly, we may be looking at one of the best browsers to date, particularly for the Windows platform. It’s sleek not just in appearance, but load times and memory usage. That said, it’s ...

Only a few years ago, user-filtering sites such as Digg were seen as more of a fad than a legitimate way of organizing people and information. That has changed. In 2004, James Surowiecki published The Wisdom of the Crowds. In 2006 Time gave a formal nod to the masses in declaring "you" the person of the year. Now we have traditional academic institutions - such as Oxford in this case - contributing to a research ...

It looks like there will be an all-star cast at this year's Singularity Summit. After last year's summit I was rather wondering for just how long it would be possible to maintain the singularitarian momentum. Maybe people would just get bored of endlessly being told that superintelligence is "coming soon to a computer near you". Also a lot of stuff has gone on over the last twelve months and now the economic situation is looking ...

OmniFocus is a GTD inspired productivity application for Mac. When I visit the OmniFocus discussion boards, at fairly regular intervals someone will ask, “But why can’t you Omni guys incorporate a way to assign priority to action items?” and an argument promptly ensues. GTD folks try to explain why that just doesn’t make sense. Others work to advance the idea that rating the priority of action items is essential. From the Getting Things Done perspective ...

Todd Mundt said:
"Priority" for tasks in GTD isn't assigned at the moment of creation, it's an ever-changing calculation based on context, time available and energy available. To do programs that tightly follow GTD often don't have categories to assign priority for this reason. Omnifocus is an example.

Anti-Globalism suggests an article at Science News on the passing of Henri Cartan, one of the founding members of a strange and influential group of French mathematicians in the twentieth century. "In the 1930s, a group of young French mathematicians led an uprising that revolutionized mathematics. France had lost most of a generation in the First World War, so the emerging hotshots in mathematics had few elders to look up to. And when these radicals ...
