		<title>School of the Ether</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Many years ago, Australia reached their farflung learners via the School of the Air.  While they&#8217;ve now moved to internet technologies,this post on the mobile talks at the eLearning Africa conference reactivated and extended some thoughts.
In the course of  interviews for the mobile book, Bob Sanregret of Hot Lava (now part of Outstart) mentioned some [...]]]></description>

		<title>On principle, practice, experimentation, and theory</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On twitter today a brief conversation ensued about best practices versus best principles.  I&#8217;ve gone off on this before ( I think Dilbert sums it up nicely), and my tweet today captures my belief:
&#8220;please, *not* best practices; abstract best principles and recontextualize!&#8221;
However, I want to go further.
Several times recently I&#8217;ve had people ask for research [...]]]></description>

		<title>Catching up&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been quite a while since I&#8217;ve blogged, and it&#8217;s not that there haven&#8217;t been learnings, it&#8217;s just that my dance card was too too full.  What with conferences, a week of radical fever, the mobile book manuscript coming due, and a week off in the woods, not to mention a full load of client [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Social Media Cigarette Break</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In the course of my interviews for the mobile learning book, Robert Gadd (OnPoint Digital) made a comment that&#8217;s stuck with me.  He opined that the new &#8216;cigarette&#8217; break was the social media break where employees will stand outside with their mobile phone and check in on their social networks.  The reason, of course, being [...]]]></description>

		<title>Brain science in design?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Learning Circuits Blog Big Question of the Month is &#8220;Does the discussion of &#8220;how the brain learns&#8221; impact your eLearning  design?&#8221;  My answer is in several parts.
The short answer is &#8220;yes&#8221;, of course, because my PhD is in Cognitive Psychology (really, applied cognitive science), and I&#8217;ve looked at cognitive learning, behavioral learning, social [...]]]></description>

		<title>Getting strategic</title>

		<title>On magic, or the appearance thereof</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Many years ago, I responded to a broad query by Jefferey Bonar asking what was the interface metaphor we really wanted.  I responded something to the effect of wanting &#8216;magic&#8217;.   This was in the early days of the desktop metaphor, and we were already looking to go beyond, and I was looking for the ultimate [...]]]></description>

		<title>Stop with the bad social media marketing!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What I&#8217;m now keeping as a note to paste in reply to these solicitations:
You clearly do NOT read my blog. If you had, you&#8217;d see that there&#8217;s been an ongoing flurry of attempts at getting me to pay attention to online degrees and either similar or the sister sites, and I blogged that it&#8217;s not [...]]]></description>

I think these sorts of efforts are worthwhile to see a variety of different ideas, and consequently I agreed.  Here&#8217;re the questions and my answers as presented to the [...]]]></description>
