CoreBLOG first look
I had a very brief look at CoreBLOG – a weblog system for Zope. It looks quite promising. But it is still not what we need. The management through ZMI (zope management interface) is considered a feature. But ZMI is not the right interface for newbies. It also does not support any API, so tools [...]

Brenda Laurel on Design Research
“Brenda Laurel is editing a book called Design Research that’s coming out in December. Looks like an interesting mix of contributors – you don’t often see Darrel Rhea (weblog) and Eric Zimmerman both writing under the same cover.” [Brightly Colored Food]

Learning: Communities versus Courses
Lilia Efimova did a marvelous job on collecting thoughts on “Communities versus Courses”: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4. She also points to Sebastien Paquets weblog research directory. There is a lot of arguments that need consideration here. Some turn on light bulbs in my head – and I disagree with others. I [...]

New courseblogs…
The two seminars that started last week are picking up steam: One is about “Social software” and one about “Design with algorithms“. There are not as many students as I expected. So (as actually always): anyone should feel free to join the seminar online.

Buzz
Buzz is a Python+wxPythom based OPML editor that seems to support the Manila XML-RPC API. Unfortunatly it is still under development and probably impossible to install fo the average user (well, the average user might not know what to do with this tool anyway). What is interoperability good for if only a fraction of users [...]

External Zope Editor for MacOS X
I waited for this one: “ZopeEditManager is a native Cocoa application that provides ExternalEditor functionality for Mac OS X users.

Uses/benefits of blogging for knowledge workers
This another slide of my presentation, but this one is probably the most important for me as this is the frame I use to think about weblogs in my PhD research trying to summarise (possible) uses/benefits of blogging for knowledge workers. What’s in it for me? Publishing Personal information management Watching trends, staying updated (~’search’ [...]

Informal Learning & the other 80%
Found this article from Jay Cross through Lilia Efimova’s weblog and her very iformative post on “Learning: communities vs. courses” I wish I had more time right now to do a deep dive into this stuff, because it really touches many issues I am interested in. Lilia is making a difference between novice learners and [...]
