Excellent NY Times article exploring the big issues in social networking. Great stuff on ambient awareness, microblogging and issues of trust and privacy. A must-read for social software newbies. Created:Thu, 11 Sep 2008 18:38:54 GMT
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.
