David Skok: Aggregation is deep in journalism's DNA nie.mn/xWqEeT



This article from NiemanLab via twitter is a great example of Christensen's "disruptive innovation" model. The move of the Huffington Post from a Democratic-focused blog to a major news gathering organization illustrates the model.

"Tectonic Shifts" in Employment - Technology Review

http://www.technologyreview.com/article/39319/

Author David Talbot analyzes the changing nature of work and also provides evidence that job creation is much more complex and difficult to really manage than most politicians want to admit.

Complying with USDOE "program integrity" regulations.

Russ Poulin, Deputy Director of Research and Analysis for WICHE is doing tremendous work keeping the higher education community up-to-date information on how to comply with the USDOE "Program Integrity" rules focusing on "state approval of out-of-state providers."

WCET's initial site on the out-of state issue has links to the regulations and interpretations. Russ has also created a comprehensive blog on the issue. This week's valentine's day post provides an important update on developments.

Following the 2010 Jossey-Bass Online Learning Conference

I am virtually attending the 2010 Jossey-Bass Online Learning Conference today and tomorrow (10/20 to 10/21) as my schedule permits. Webinars are growing in favor with me - no travel and you can check in and check out whenever you need to. Each session is recorded so I can return or replay it when it fits.

Getting things underway

After a time of inactivity, it is time to write and blog more on "open learning." Posting to a blog is certainly not close to authoring a book or conducting research. However, it is one of the ways to get writing underway and to work on conditioning one's thinking "muscles."

Time to workout the thought muscles and get in shape. :-)
