EDUCAUSE REVIEW | July/August 2007, Volume 42, Number 4

  • A classroom portal that presents automatically updated syndicated resources from the campus library, news sources, student events, weblogs, and podcasts and that was built quickly using free tools. A Web site that takes crime data from the Chicago Police and applies them to Google Maps, without being affiliated with either. Each of these is a product of the stunning growth in online materials available in reusable formats; each is energized by the character of digital culture; and each may be described as a mashup.

About Stephen's Web ~ by Stephen Downes

  • Stephen is perhaps best known for his daily research
    newsletter, OLDaily
    (short for Online Learning Daily), which reaches thousands
    of readers across Canada and around the world. His work
    also includes the development of educational content
    syndication systems such as Edu_RSS and
    DLORN
    along and the design of a digital rights
    management system
    for learning resources.
  • Founded in 1995, Stephen's Web is best described as a
    digital research laboratory for innovation in the use of
    online media in education. More than just a site about
    online learning, it is intended to demonstrate new
    directions in the field for practitioners and enthusiasts.


    Specifically, the design of Stephen's Web is intended to
    embody the following new directions in online learning:



    - Integration of Learning, Practice and Research - it is
    the author's belief that learning in an online environment
    will gradually merge with other domains of activity, and
    specifically, practice and research. Consequently,
    Stephen's Web merges these three uses of online content
    into a single space.



    - Integration of Content and Community - it is the
    author's belief that content and community - that is, the
    presentation of content and consequent discussion of
    content - should be presented as an integrated unit and not
    segregated (as is typical in learning management systems).



    - Content Syndication - a single online learning
    resource is depicted on this view as one node in a network
    of resources, whereby these resources exchange content and
    services among each other. This outcome is achieved by
    means of content syndication and supported throughout
    Stephen's Web



    - Dynamic Organization - learning, and the presentation
    of learning, should not be static. On any given day, the
    organization, structure and delivery of learning resources
    may change according to the changing knowledge of the
    instructor, the changing nature of the field, and the
    changing preferences of the learner.
