This is a great story about tech comm inititative by Colum McAndrew. His story is important not so much because he learned and thought about finding solutions using Framemaker (which is great in itself), but because it’s about how he really thought about better solutions, and sought to find a way to make things more efficient and streamlined the process. It just so happens that Framemaker was the tool of choice in this instance. How often have you looked at a software tool and thought that it could be the answer to all the problems you’ve had with your documentation, even if it’s something that would take a while to make it work? I think this story is definitely worth reading, and it inspires me.  I hope it inspires you, too.

This is a really cool concept! Imagine…no kid could say, "I forgot my homework," that’s for sure. This truly seems like an interesting direction for mobile computing. Talk about portable, provided it’s not too heavy on one’s wrist! It would be interesting to see how content is written for a device like this–not a typical screen, as it’s a hybrid of a smart-device screen and a traditional screen. Would "regular" desktop content be used, what we know as mobile content be used, or some sort of hybrid? It’ll be interesting to see if this comes to fruition in several years.

This is a fantastic whitepaper about the value of participatory culture in elearning and other digital means of education. This is very much the approach I come from in my own standpoint of using social media in elearning and mlearning, and just gathering information in general. The document is not light reading, but it’s very well-written, and seems fairly comprehensive. A must-read for those who are in education, elearning or mlearning. Really good stuff.
