POPSDidactic architectures and organization models: a process of mutual adaptation This article aims to establish a parallel between the organizational models and the didactic architectures used by businesses to manage internal training. The objective is to understand whether so-called "eLearning 2.0" (eLearning based on the tools and approaches typical of web 2.0) can be useful in different frameworks and organisations. In this context, the paper looks at whether it is possible to identify a mutual process of adaptation among the organizational and training models we term didactic architectures.

POPSWikipedia & the classroom The on-going debate about the use of Wikipedia in the classroom via http://weblogs.elearning.ubc.ca/brian/archives/045541.php. It is very interesting. We are changing how we talk about wikipedia with the students here. We know it is out there and we know students use it. It is much better to understand how it works than to dismiss it all together.

POPSCollaboration environment with a hint of rice wine? OK, bad spelling pun. This looks nice, but I haven't had a chance to download and install it to try it properly - if anyone has, please let me know! This and Bodlington are going to be working together, it seems, at least to some extent.

POPSOnline learning catching on...NPR story Working at a middle school, where we are trying to implement different Web 2.0 tools is challenging but this is what students are familiar with and are comfortable with using. Even if we are not comfortable does not mean we should not try out these new tools.

POPSSurveillance in eLearning food for thought. The student, supposedly the centre of learning, is a second class citizen when using institutional learning environments. Whilst more information may be available about them via social networking sites, the sense (and reality) of better control over data ironically may provide more privacy. People value privacy, even if only to be in control of who they give it away to. Institutional oversight of learning (probably) impinges on educational efficacy.

POPSInformal learning FTW A nice case study, backed up by some handy stats in terms of numbers of student conscious of having learned through using Facebook as opposed to their VLE (Blackboard) in a study not entirely dissimilar to one we are just writing up about!
