      I find the Moodle discussions to be focused on the class content so I rarely return to those discussions. What I'm interested in from the Landing is discussions that extend beyond a course or a single cohort. Very much more an ongoing relationship both as a student and in the future as Alumni.

      I agree with both Leslie and Eric on the Landing's role in my learning process here at AU and hopefully beyond. I think it would be even more useful if it were required or somehow promoted in the various courses - even a link on our course Moodle page would make it more user friendly. It seems like not that many students are using it and that it would be even more relevant if it were something all or most students felt they had the time or capacity to use.

      Also, because I get "scolded" and down-rated at monthly assessment time, if I do not use it. People who do not use it are somehow viewed as "persons with developmental disabilities." That's interesting because we have 3 "persons with developmental disabilities" who frequently use it.

    Interesting to see the identification of gender issues. I would expect by changing game design you would alleviate some of those issues. If we get the CMF project, it would be interesting to explore some of those issues in collaborative development.
  • What would be your perspective on exams as part of professional certifications? Would you consider exams appropriate or would you suggest other approaches?

    If we consider a) crisp tags=tagging, b) fuzzy tags= tagging(0...1) /* fuzzy quality */, c) multi-valued tags=tagging((quality=0...1),/* fuzzy quality */ (value_to_learner=0...1) /* importance with fuzzy quality))  I had thought Intent...

    I think "fuzzy tags" is catchy, but are scalar tags not more closely related to multi-valued tags, and fuzzy tags effectively a further extension similar to "fuzzy logic"?

    I have moved to fewer tools with the intention of increasing the depth of data held in those tools while reducing duplication. For example, I had used a wiki and Personal Brain, however I no longer use these in favor of an internal instance of the...
