User talk:JWSchmidt/Blog/31 December 2007

Hi JWS. Thanks for the post. I haven't watched the video (am on dial up speeds for a while) but will give it a look. Hopefully Eric's remarks at Stanford were just that - remarks. Perhaps he was filling in for someone and as you point out, found he was talking about something he knew little about, and ended up steering the talk to something he knows more about - WE. I hope his new role along with the remarks he made at Stanford won't change the really interesting things happening over at WV. As I said on Colloquium - Wikiversity's freedom is an inspiration, and through that some really interesting things will continue to emerge - such as the concept of reading groups, and "abstract" discussions that some feel are central issues faced in attempts to turn learning into education. --Leighblackall 07:38, 1 January 2008 (UTC)


 * The original .mov file for the workshop was over 500 MB. I made a reduced version that is "only" 13 MB and has just the Wikiversity and WikiEducator material. I also started a page for discussion of how to promote cooperation between multiple projects devoted to free/libre learning. --JWSchmidt 01:11, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
