Twitter Weekly Updates for 2010-08-23

Cheating in online learning. Balanced viewpoint from Tony Bates http://bit.ly/adFoXT #
Went back 2 Thunderbird after using Kmail for a few years. Really impressed with how it’s developed, I’m actually enjoying managing my email #
RT @alastairotter: How the Internet is changing language http://bbc.in/95XmAo #
@nlafferty Used 2 use Zotero until I tried Mendeley, which supported PDF import at the time. I’d love 2 try it again, but no chromium plugin in reply to nlafferty #
Sadly, it looks like there’s no intention to port Zotero to #chromium & I’m not switching browsers just to get it http://ht.ly/2r9do #
Zotero Basics: Getting Stuff Into Zotero http://bit.ly/97IHMV. I’m always intrigued with Zotero, I just can’t get into using it #
Some simple points of advice on professional online behaviour for health professionals, from @rachaellowe http://ht.ly/2r8CZ #
Teaching Professor: Thinking constructively about teaching problems http://ht.ly/2r8BJ #
Beautiful drawings / paintings on the iPad. So much for the notion that it’s not a device for creation http://ht.ly/2r8sV #
Technology for 21st Century Learning: Part 2 (But is it a Literacy Machine?). Using the iPad in education http://bit.ly/cwIuEx #
@paulscott56 “Major design flaw upsets millions”. Could be a story about Facebook or twifficiency #
17-Year Old Twitter Spammer Scores Facebook CEO as New Friend http://bit.ly/9pGmWA #

Dissertation Myth # 9: It Will Ruin Your Life. Great points to put your research into perspective http://ht.ly/2qELR #
RT @jamescun: OK. Twifficiency shouldn’t tweet your score automatically :/ Error on my behalf, I was just learning to use oAuth #
RT @allankent: you know what would be awesome? If #twifficiency prompted me before sticking crap in my timeline. #fail #
@cristinacost I spent some time in Hay-on-Wye when I was in the UK a few years ago. Really beautiful walks in & around town in reply to cristinacost #
Sadly, Twifficiency is a trending topic on the home page, we can probably count on a lot more spam coming through #
I don’t think I’ve ever seen an app (#Twifficiency in this case) generate so much bad feeling in such a short space of time #
RT @andrewspong: Deleted the Twifficiency tweet from my feed in case others see it later, & amplify the spam. You may wish to do the same. #
RT @cwcrawley: So all of you who did twiffiency – Go into profile & ‘revoke’ access to the app. That’ll stop it spamming in future #security #
Facebook, By the Numbers. Interesting infographic looking at the rise of Facebook over the past few years http://ht.ly/2qCvS #
I *hate* it when services / applications tweet on my behalf without asking me, as was the case a minute ago with #Twifficiency #
My Twifficiency score is 43%. Whats yours? http://twifficiency.com/ #
RT @wesleylynch:RT @shapshak: Africa’s tech start-ups break ground: iSigned (@garethochse) & Cognition (@patrickkayton) http://bit.ly/avauYZ #
Looking 4 Buddypress-Activity-stream-type threaded conversation tool. Must be hosted & not need registration. Suggestions? #
RT @sharingnicely: RT @myzt: The main idea of “Inception”: if you run a VM inside a VM inside a VM inside a VM, everything will be very slow #
@weblearning Just had a look now, thanks. Not sure if it “fits”. I already follow everyone I email. More likely to “find” people elsewhere in reply to weblearning #
@weblearning Installed #Rapportive a while ago & it has yet 2 return any info behind the email…maybe that says more about who emails me in reply to weblearning #

Agreed RT @EveD: Despite (and because of) Twitter’s 140 character limit, correct punctuation and capitalisation is actually quite important #

@jacquesmillard Got an email from #HTC but they didn’t give any detail. That article you pointed out isn’t encouraging in reply to jacquesmillard #
@simontrollope Thanks for the input, I’ve been wondering about going down that route, but haven’t seriously considered it yet in reply to simontrollope #

@cristinacost I’m sorry, but what is “Interim Assessment”? in reply to cristinacost #
@cristinacost Thanks 4 pointing this out (http://bit.ly/aqDMYc). Raises good points re. transparency, furthering knowledge, public access in reply to cristinacost #

@nlafferty Maybe individuals will hold workshops where benefits of openness can be discussed Establishment probably won’t lead change? in reply to nlafferty #
@amcunningham I wouldn’t have thought moderators would be paid? I’m probably just naive. Will you be doing workshop? Seems like a good idea in reply to amcunningham #
@amcunningham I’ve never been involved in organising a conference of any sort but I have put stuff online, and it’s not expensive in reply to amcunningham #
@amcunningham I can’t believe that it’s not included on the site. Maybe you should let them know in reply to amcunningham #
@amcunningham Not “insignificant”…marginal relative to the cost of the conference itself in reply to amcunningham #
@amcunningham Agreed, but they have those costs anyway. Cost of moving content online is marginal, & so many would benefit from free access? in reply to amcunningham #
@amcunningham Cool, we should pull in @nlafferty too. Will post later, have to be away from pc for a bit in reply to amcunningham #
@nlafferty That, and the fact that they’re charging at all. Can’t understand why they don’t open it up completely & let everyone benefit? in reply to nlafferty #
@amcunningham Saw that too, was initially excited but disappointed that they’re charging. Maybe I’m too used to a culture of sharing? in reply to amcunningham #
So excited when I saw this post from #AMEE 2010…until I saw the 2nd last paragraph. How NOT to share conf proceedings http://bit.ly/bRamfC #

@techczech sounds great, am at a conference without dedicated access for next few days…what/when did you have in mind? in reply to techczech #
@techczech Different dynamic with clinicians & educators in health. Clinicians slow 2 implement new research findings, little communication in reply to techczech #
#Scribefire just crashed & I lost all my notes from the conference so far. Silly not to have a “Save” feature to store content locally? #
@techczech what sort of practitioners? I think that in health, clinicians are more interested in outcome than process in reply to techczech #
@ryantracey I think the point is that just because you have access doesn’t necessarily mean you can participate in reply to ryantracey #

@dkeats Interesting idea re. ePortfolios and portability, think it’s an essential concept. Would love to follow that conversation in reply to dkeats #
@dkeats OK, if Kewl is not an LMS, how would you define it? I can’t find a differentiator between it and e.g. #Moodle in reply to dkeats #
@dkeats Probably won’t have any free time while I’m at #Wits Have arranged to hook up with @paulscott56 when he gets back from US in reply to dkeats #
@dkeats Unfortunately, won’t be attending eSkills. Looks like it’s going to be an interesting discussion in reply to dkeats #
@cristinacost Pearl Jam always makes me remember when my life was less complicated in reply to cristinacost #
@gsiemens If you have the time, try #Daemon and #Freedom by D. Suarez. http://bit.ly/anXY8P = Good review but has spoilers. Similar concepts in reply to gsiemens #
Listening to Release by Pearl Jam. Makes me think of good times…Springfield, late night coffee, “us against the world” #
@paulscott56 Sounds good. Let me know when you’re back and have some space in your schedule. I’m pretty flexible #
@paulscott56 Based at #UWC but at #Wits for rest of this week for conference. Not sure if I can fit it in while there. When u back from US? in reply to paulscott56 #
@paulscott56 “Despise” was probably 2 strong a word anyway. Let’s just say that I have some issues with it. Who is best person to demo 4 me? in reply to paulscott56 #
@paulscott56 Fair enough. Are you doing any of the coding on #Kewl I must be honest, it’s been more than a year since I played with it in reply to paulscott56 #
@paulscott56 I feel the same way about any #LMS it’s not a personal thing against #Kewl in reply to paulscott56 #
@paulscott56 Mostly ideological issues with constraining learning in a system that students lose access to when they leave in reply to paulscott56 #
@weblearning As far as I know, the policies are not online. I can email you the documents though? DM me your address if you’re interested in reply to weblearning #
@weblearning I despise Kewl and (almost) everything about it. No, I do everything on my own on a private server with open source tools in reply to weblearning #
@weblearning I’m going to be at #Wits from tomorrow until Saturday for the #SAAHE conference. Staying in Mellville if you want to chat? in reply to weblearning #
@weblearning I’m a lecturer in the physiotherapy department at UWC #
