well, using blogs for class assignments is not new for many of us, that's true. But if you'd never heard of doing this, it would seem progressive, eh? Most of my students here in the Virgin Islands don't even know what blogging is. Most forms of CMC are completely new to them. Last week, I held class in the virtual classroom of Blackboard, the most vanilla of chatrooms, and they thought it was amazing, progressive, and very strange. So Chris, if you're interested, you should take up the subject here, 'cause many of the people on this list have been using blogs for years...like Radhika :) annette On 11/29/05, Radhika Gajjala <radhika(a)cyberdiva.org> wrote: > > okay - I cant resist this jab - forgive me > > what's so progressive about using blogs for class a assignments? > > r > > ps - no offense meant. > > >Can you email me direct at chris.heidelberg(a)ssa.gov?

Radhika: It is progressive because there is still a lot of resistance to distance learning in academia. It is a way for the school to make more money, but many in academia, based on my research (both formal and informal) have issues with distance learning. In fact, the president of CHEA spoke at our seminar class approximately three weeks ago and this topic was heavily discussed. A lot of institutions have openly criticized and tried to minimize the University of Phoenix and how the school was treated like an ex-con on probation. We use Blackboard and it is vanilla, but it is effective. One can have full blown discussions, turn in papers and do exams online. I've had at least 7 classes that have been Blackboard and classroom combinations. They were great. -----Original Message----- From: air-l-bounces(a)listserv.aoir.org [mailto:air-l-bounces@listserv.aoir.org] On Behalf Of Annette Markham Sent: Wednesday, November 30, 2005 8:20 AM To: air-l(a)listserv.aoir.org Subject: Re: [Air-l] Blogging basics? well, using blogs for class assignments is not new for many of us, that's true.

OT: Chicago Follow-Up
by Richard Forno 30 Nov '05

30 Nov '05

While I don't intend to start an AOIR love-fest, having returned from my first AOIR event, I wanted to congratulate the "Internet Generations" conference team for a job well-done in producing a rather interesting conference in Chicago. Lots of good items discussed and I came away with some useful food-for-thought. Looking forward to next year in Australia! Cheers, and thanks again, Rick Forno -infowarrior.org - Internet Studies, Curtin University of Technology

Blogging basics?
by Charles Ess 29 Nov '05

29 Nov '05

Hi all, I'm about to interviewed for a newspaper story (Pittsburgh) on blogging and blogs - of the many things I know so little about, those would be right up there... (the vagaries of reporting, I suppose...) While I have a few meager thoughts on the phenomena, including a shred of ethical reflection - would the air community like to throw any important thoughts (and references) my way? I'll happily credit anyone I can cite - and/or refer the reporter to the _real_ experts out there in AoIR-land. Let me know - and thanks, -- cX (the unknown charlie, who followed the original Charlie onto the executive committee - tee-hee) Charles Ess Distinguished Research Professor, Interdisciplinary Studies <http://www.drury.edu/gp21> Drury University 900 N.

I use blogs as an online journal requirement for my graduate students. They love it, become introduced to the technology tool and, as a teacher, I am updated weekly related to team procedures, content interests and blogging experiences.

Charles, I presented a paper on the viability of blogging as a knowledge management support tool at the Association of Management/International Association of Management conference in August (Norfolk, VA). I discussed the manner in which blogging can transform tacit knowledge to explicit knowledge as well as some of the barriers that might be encountered in attempting to get others to use this technology to manage this mental process. I would be more than happy to share a copy of the paper with you. Let me know via email (gdtaylor(a)uiuc.edu) if you would like to get a copy of the paper or have other questions associated with mental processing actions related to using this technology. -- Gail -------------------------------------------------- Gail Taylor, M.Ed.

eulogizers and executors
by Barry Wellman 29 Nov '05

29 Nov '05

The recent discussion of e-eulogies reminded me of my role a few years ago as e-executor, when my friend died: Judy Merril (the wonderful science-fiction editor/writer). It was my sad task to go to her e-addresses every day for a month and respond to people who were writing to her, unaware that she had died. Actually, one correspondent WAS aware. A famous science-fiction writer wrote to Judy, "I have never slept with anyone other than my wife, but if I did, it would have been with you." And so it goes.
