New Players in Higher Education – Challenges for Universities
A few days ago I wrote a post about some the future challenges facing higher education over the next ten years. In that post I covered some of my initial thoughts about the challenges of open content and that I believed the key for universities will be in developing rigorous and consistent assessment in order [...]
Delicious Adds New Sharing Features
There has been a bit of criticism recently about slowness of Delicious to add new features and even some questions about its future as social bookmarking site. I have said it before and I’ll say it again – Delicious is a vital part of the way I organise and share information. Anyway I was please [...]
