Mr. Jarvis:

Did you ever see George Siemens’ talk on video? Did it come across to you like it did to me or was I way off in my take on it? I’m including my experience of interacting with you and Mr. Siemens as part of a talk I’m giving about Twitter, and I wanted to follow up with you about your impression of the whole affair, out of curiosity.

My posts were genuine expressions of my thoughts and I cared about the substance of the conversation, so I will continue to reject Mr. Siemens’ accusation of trolling. I’m over it now, but I still think it’s great that the Internet enabled me to be virtually present at the conference and to interact with some of its participants, including the esteemed speakers themselves. It’s a wonder! I want to tell people about how I was able to use Twitter to engage with people 700 miles away, in real time.

I’m late to the party here, but I’d like to chime in on “Why shouldn’t every university – every school – copy Google’s 20% rule”

I’d argue that that happens in every traditional university setting. Classwork + homework are only part of what happens on campus. So do conversations — many of them — as well as more organized extracurricular activities.

(And that’s even assuming there’s a class/classwork paradigm in the first place, which is not true at all universities in all places in the world.)

[...] The TED Effect is something that really could get its own item on this list. The TED and TEDx Conferences are where the very best and brightest (or at least most notable) in their field are asked to give an inspiring presentation. The problem is that if you want to attend you have to apply, be accepted, and then pay. After being accepted into the cult club how many people do you think criticize the event? Very very few. If you criticize you probably won’t be allowed to come back next time. There are many other problems with the TED Effect but Jeff Jarvis covered it much better on his blog, Buzzmachine, in his post “TEDxNYed: This is bullshit“. [...]

[...] Besides, the purpose of old-school lectures isn’t to learn, but to validate, according to Jarvis — just like old media’s one-to-many broadcasting model. He implied that professors cling to the lecture format out of ego. I think laziness or lack of vision may also be factors for some professors. Video of Jarvis’s lecture (ironic, I know…) should be posted in the next few weeks, but he blogged his notes. [...]

Ron,
As I say, the lecture has its place … just not as the basis for the entire system. It is good for imparting information and thought and challenging students. It’s not the form I’m complaining about in the end but how it is used: to dictate knowledge. What’s most wrong with the lecture is what happens on the other end: the standardized test.
