Holly Poop! This is a thread that is really getting to the nut of the issue. And an issue that has me thinking, well to be honest, I've always found myself an anarchist and my trust of western philosophies "imposed" on others has often got my goat. You know, what right do we have to think we have

That was a fresh and accessible read thanks Peter. I especially liked and found interesting the 5 suggested areas of development research. There was a sudden jump in the level of detail, but I hung in there. BTW, have you heard of this thing called the Delphi Technique

Peter, Is it really about ideas and opinions? I don't think so. I believe it's about egos and how we manage to live with our feelings. Ideas only get in the way. I think it's time we dealt with our emotions at a much deeper level so that ideas and circumstances don't separate us from ourselves and

Dear Leigh, i am amazed by your continous bringing up of controversial topics in wikieducator like me and i would like to applaud you for your tenacity. You can most certainly ignore people like Patricia and Randy who are ACTUALLY the destructive profiteers. Thanks for highlighting the issues that

This is an interesting discussion, and I would like to add my two cents. I am quite new to wikieducator, however, this discussion, in general terms, is not really new. I spend some time on Linux forums and you often see the same issues. For example, on the Gentoo forum (my Linux distro) there is

Hi Leigh, Minhaaj & All, Thanks for the clarification Leigh, thought you were referring to some NZ/Aus specificity I was not aware of! In terms of global edu I couldn't agree more, though I think it runs deeper than West/ non-West and it's rather about social control & associated political/capita

Your asking something different. Originally you were talking about naming. Disambiguation would probably be a good example of this. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Disambiguation For a good example of multiple pages from different points of view about the same concept perhaps look at this

Leigh, A very wise observation. And you are correct, at an atomic level, we have very little collaborative work on WE. The whole of WE is a collaborative effort, yet all the individual lessons, materials, modules, etc... are in general created by an individual and rarely edited by another. So you

Agree, Peter. It's important to project our hope towards the future and consider the macros, mesos and micros. However, more important is never forget to question them, discuss them, debate the multi-possibilities. Dealing with /knowing how to cope with cognitive dissonance and working collaborat

Peter, You said: Come to think of it, during my masters we never took any courses specifically targeted toward creating collaborative works. Well, during my masters, we did a lot of collaborative team work. We wrote papers together and even created a collaborative WebQuest. Even in my doc program

Leigh, I may be slow. I apologize because I certainly did not intend to ignore your suggestions. I had no idea anyone you were suggesting not to collaborate. I missed it all. I would be very grateful if you could explain what you mean by collaboration and why we don't need it. It may be that I misu
