Mark Zuckerberg on the new Facebook groups feature. Nice to see Facebook starting to catch up with the rest of the world on this, looks like a good feature (also some very interesting announcements re exportable profiles and greater dashboard control today), very clearly recognising differentiation in social roles and interests beyond the ludicrously one-dimensional graph formed by ‘friends’.
I am a professional learner, employed as a Full Professor and Associate Dean, Learning & Assessment, at Athabasca University, where I research lots of things broadly in the area of learning and technology, and I teach mainly in the School of Computing & Information Systems. I am a proud Canadian, though I was born in the UK. I am married, with two grown-up children, and three growing-up grandchildren. We all live in beautiful Vancouver.
