I said that it was a university course at UMW, so it needed a syllabus. Somewhat later (like yesterday while sitting on a beach) it struck me that it’s another case of Korzybski’s line of the map not being the territory – the syllabus is not the class, the experience, but some representation of it.

This was our Connecting Learning Objects with RSS, TrackBack, and Weblogs “show”, using Macromedia Breeze for an audio narrated presentation (and real images and voices for our pseudo-characters, Boris and Lora). The NMC conference was one of the better and active one of these types of events, and I am not just saying that because we were part of it. It was rather active, and Larry said that people were using the site, posting to the boards, for weeks after [...]
