In the past few days
Ed Bilodeau has posted a couple of entries related to University policy and open learning environments: A student’s right to anonymity and open learning environments; Auditing classes and open learning systems. The gut reaction of many technologists to such issues in the past has been to suggest that the older policy/norm is hopelessly out-of-date, but I disagree – I’m with Ed, these things have to be studied carefully and a balance point must be found between existing policies and present and future practice.
Malcolm Gladwell
continues to impress with a very personal story that looks into copyright, plagiarism, and art: Something Borrowed in the New Yorker.

Tweedy: If they succeed, it will damage the culture and industry they say they’re trying to save.

You’ll also be interested in his analysis of the 2004 election results.
