Bill Fitzgerald points to several legal concerns associated with putting academic content in FB: http://www.funnymonkey.com/please-stop-the-madness

I think the real value of FB is it’s ability to enable conversations.

BTW, I am “enrolled” in BJ Fogg’s Psychology of FB course in FB. Fogg has created a course that studies FB while employing it as a medium to connect, share, and communicate. He even has a UStream link that allows outsiders like myself the opportunity to peek inside his f2f classroom and follow conversations (participating in conversations outside the class is restricted to the UStream chat and any of the IM/email features within FB). Quite a daring enterprise, I think.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! -c-

Thanks Alan for sharing the video on Facebook. I’ve followed up with my own short post as the video really says it all for me.

Yes I know I should write this on your other post but I’m tired and it’s late. 5.00 am — I would be feeling a tad sorry for you except I’ve been doing that most Thursday mornings when I join Open PD in the US. PS even unwell you are an excellent presenter and I learnt a lot from all your sessions.
