I was in Saskatoon today, and had a chance to drop in on Rick Schwier to talk over a few projects and ideas. While we were at it, I turned on my iRiver to record another Rob and Rick podcast. This was recorded straight into the built-in mic on the iRiver with no post production, but the sound quality is pretty decent!
Without further delay – StigmergicWeb podcast # 9 (another Rob and Rick show). We spent a lot of time talking about academic publishing, academic blogging and how they fit together (short summary – we’re not sure if they do yet).
Show references:
- id-cop.ca
- Canadian Journal of Learning and Technology
- Stephen Downes
- David Wiley
- Alec Couros
- D’Arcy Norman
Postscript – about 5 minutes after we finished the show, Rick’s brand spankin’ new Mac G5 showed up. Sweet!
Thanks for the very informative and encouraging podcast. I look forward to checking out the id-cop you talked about in the show.
Have fun with the G5.
Thanks for the interesting podcast! I just (finally) got around to playing it. Very interesting points in the discussion.
I did have one minor thought, when you were discussing the new “digital divide” that may be introduced by self publishing tools like weblogs. Do traditional journals still accept type-written pages, or do they have to be .doc files? If they all require .doc files (and I’m sure many/most do), then there isn’t really an additional digital divide introduced by self publishing tools…
