Indeed, if an emerging open educational resources network starts to build something like a shared infrastructure of learning content An early proponent of this connection was George Siemens (short presentation here on Leigh’s blog).

  • Six Social Media Trends for 2010
    In 2009 we saw exponential growth of social media. So what could social media look like in 2010? In 2010, social media will get even more popular, more mobile, and more exclusive — at least, that's my guess. Social media begins to look less social With According to Nielson Online, Twitter alone grew 1,382% year-over-year in February , registering a total of just more than 7 million unique visitors in the US for the month.
