The US Dept of Defence has taken quite an enlightened approach to the use of social media by its employees. This site outlines how they've balanced the opportunities with the risks.

In short, they've recognised that using web 2.0 social media sites can have operational benefit even in an environment where security of systems and information is paramount.

Wonder how their experience with Wikileaks has impacted on this recently.

These look like they will require a heavy relinace on technology and networking and also a workforce trained to be agile and flexible...

...not sure if Gove's view of education fits this.

Good overview of the T&D industry. It's quite good fun looking at the questions in bold, coming up with your own answers then reading his answers.

Interesting view on evaluating T&D.

Innovative approach to analysing scientific data through sound rather than numbers or visual representation.\n\nThese sounds are quite eerie. It's difficult for a non-particle physicist to know exactly what each of these means but it's intriguing from the point of view of using different media to convey a message or story.

Gesture control for gaming. One of the things in the Horizon Report 2010. There's also MS's Kineckt coming out which looks a bit more elegant.
will be interesting to see how well it takes off and if it starts to affect controllers for more practical systems. The Wii did alright (despite the silly name everyone laughed at initially)

Here's a selection of interviews of OU staff by Martin Weller in preparation for the Open University Conference this year. He talks to Martin Bean, the Vice Chancellor who's a really engaging speaker and Grainne Conole (who edited our main text for TELIC) and 2 others.

Some interesting thoughts about the opportunities and risks of moving to a more open learning environment in universities.

I read this trying to remember when I actively viewed failure as a positive step forward and I couldn't think of anything (Ha! Irony!)

This article made me think about a few things. One was Dr Ken Robinson saying in a 2006 TED talk that you can't have real creativity when you are afraid of failure.

The other thing was thinking about our education system (tradition?). Think of the stigma of failing your GCSE's. The benchmarks of what we value in our pedagogic system are these high-stakes win or lose crunch-points. In the stages in between these exams we might be able to celebrate failure as a stage on the road to succeeding but when it comes down to it, failing an exam in school is like having a door closed in your face. It takes a lot of will power to push it open again....IMHO
