I went to one after EDUCOM merged with CAUSE and didn&#39;t care too much for how the entire culture of the conference had changed. <br /><br />I&#39;m not for merging Wave into the IT infrastructures of colleges. I&#39;m for doing away with those infrastructures. They do next to nothing to further learning. They should just shut them down. Do away with them entirely. Place the focus back on the learner (not the course), and return the money saved back to the students in the form of lower tuition and technology assessment fees.<br /><br />KevinKevin Gamblehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00659162207319457717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4323202250325013491.post-62008715390515956762009-11-23T08:32:55.600-05:002009-11-23T08:32:55.600-05:00Seems like you missed the point of the comment made at the meeting - sounds like you weren&#39;t there. The point was just the opposite of your inference: if Google would use IMS Global Learning Consortium standards it would be easier to integrate Wave or other Google Apps into the IT infrastructures of colleges, and especially as to their being used within the context of courses and such. The IMS standards don&#39;t constrain anything - they may it easier. So, if you&#39;re in favor of Wave use in education you should be in support of IMS standards and Google - not against.what_was_ur_1st_cluehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02646053959258284774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4323202250325013491.post-26418110977747524602009-11-07T10:57:50.002-05:002009-11-07T10:57:50.002-05:00These are really a disaster. I agree wholeheartedly.<br /><br />One thing that struck me the other day in a meeting is that all teaching universities really have to sell is recognized certification. I&#39;m not sure how LMS tie into that value proposition.Budhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10890564471631569204noreply@blogger.com
