In May, Stephen Downes made the statement: "The browser is dead". Apparently, Ray Ozzie agrees with him..."Servers and browsers are like two peas in a pod, and the Web has largely run its course. In terms of the value that we can get from our own personal computers and the Internet, however, we're still at the dawn of a new era. An era in which software matters, and architecture matters."


Cool...check it out: Audioblogs. I'll have to try this...saves time typing - collect my thoughts digitally as I drive to work...upload...and voila! What's next? Video blogs? (I shouldn't say that...they probably exist somewhere already - and why not? The Internet is a rich medium.)


Lately, I've been intrigued by the need and role of content management systems (CMS). I'm convinced that CMS' have a huge role in the future of academic institutions (any organization, really). Yet almost all development and discussion of CMS comes from corporate or media associations. Picture a college without a library - all books are just kept in a room and you go find what you want. Ludicrous...but that is what is happening with digital content - no structure, no organizational awareness of what exists. Anyway, good article (a bit tech heavy) From Chaos to Control


Internettime Search...mark this as a resource to refer to...one stop search of major elearning sites
