Microsoft Office Labs vision 2019 (montage + video)
Today at the Wharton Business Technology Conference, Microsoft’s Business Division president Stephen Elop unveiled the latest production from Microsoft Office Labs called “2019″, starring stock photo men, women and children playing with the next-generation of communication, collaboration and production technologies. (via Steve Clayton) Those with a keen eye and a good memory might recognize a few familiar concepts in this video already shown in earlier videos of the “envisioning” series, for example the future of personal health, having said that, I believe there’s still a couple of new never-before-seen concepts sliced between.

Magazine Publishers in Joint Venture Work on Content Plan for E-Readers | Peter Kafka | MediaMemo | AllThingsD
a new joint venture aimed at a market that doesn’t really exist yet–magazine-like publications to be delivered via e-readers like Amazon’s Kindle and Apple’s rumored tablet. The idea: The new company, which will operate independently from the publishers that invest in it, will create a digital storefront where consumers can purchase and manage their subscriptions, which can be delivered to any device. The pitch: Control a direct relationship with consumers while gaining leverage with heavyweights like Apple (AAPL) and Amazon (AMZN).

I use a service called Evernote to fulfill my pack-rat and archiving needs.

Personal Learning Environments : JISC
The overall aim of the project is to elaborate and develop the emerging Personal Learning Environment concept in order to enable, in Phase 2 of the current JISC programme cycle, such a platform to be developed incorporating existing open source developments, and then, in Phase 3, further projects to build on and extend this platform. The reference implementation of a PLE is to illuminate and inform other innovations in this area that can be developed and deployed, and to provide a technical base for enhanced sustainability.

Coaching informal learning « Learning Journal
Coaching informal learning « Learning Journal
Informal learning - by definition – requires a learner to set his or her own goals and to monitor progress toward those goals. Learners may not set goals as stringently as instructional designers might, but it’s critical that they identify what it is they want to learn. Sometimes, learners will gravitate toward formal learning solutions in order to meet these goals, but in a great majority of cases, formal learning is not offered, or is not readily available. So the next step in the learning process is for the learner to come up with some kind of strategy for learning. This might involve going to the bookstore (okay, maybe I’m the only geek who does that, but still, it’s a strategy), finding a colleague who can teach or coach on the subject, doing an internet search and sorting through what’s found, or even doing some tentative experimentation to see what works and what doesn’t.

Half an Hour: Access2OER: The CCK08 Solution
I believe it would be worth a few words to describe a course run by George Siemens and I last fall. The course was titled 'Connectivism and Connective Knowledge'. It was offered through the University of Manitoba as a credit course, but we also offered the course for free to any person interested. It came to be called the MOOC - Massive Open Online Course.

Open Ph.D. – An Experiment in Higher Learning
Open Ph.D. – An Experiment in Higher Learning
I am going to create my own Ph.D. program via open education using open courseware. My degree will be in Educational Technology with an emphasis in (what else?) Open Education as the Great Equalizer. As the tagline to my blog states: it will be all the learning, with none of the “doc”-uments. (Or none of the “cred”-entials). But I will have the knowledge; and, in the end, isn’t that the most important thing? (Oh, and I will still have my $45,000).

P2PU - Peer 2 Peer University
The Peer 2 Peer University (P2PU) is an online community of open study groups for short university-level courses. Think of it as online book clubs for open educational resources. The P2PU helps you navigate the wealth of open education materials that are out there, creates small groups of motivated learners, and supports the design and facilitation of courses. Students and tutors get recognition for their work, and we are building pathways to formal credit as well.

16 Top Augmented Reality Business Models | PERSONALIZE MEDIA
The purpose of this short post is to simply list and try to categorise the many types of business Augmented Reality apps appearing in the market. The first manifestations of AR appeared in the late 60s, became real in the 70s and by the 90s were already being used by major companies. Now portable computing is finally powerful enough to deliver AR to anyone who has a smart phone or latest generation PC or console. But first my simple definition of Augmented Reality. Information, 3D models or live action blended with or overlaid onto the physical world in real time.
