e-Clippings (Learning As Art)

Gimme a minute...I'm trying to figure out what surf music has to do with learning...

...while I figure that out, check out these covers of classical music favorites like Symphony #5 and Flight of the Bumblebee...great stuff...

iDuke is iRocking!

Now this really is very cool. Freshmen arriving at Duke this year will get a FREE iPod "loaded with all kinds of useful information, including orientation schedules, calendars, campus tours, even the Duke fight song."

Check out this quote though:
"The program fits into Duke's plans to intensify the use of technology in learning, said Tracy Futhey, Duke's vice president for information technology."

Always the last to know...

Anybody else notice that iTunes is now selling albums for less than # of songs on album x .99?

Real-time pricing on music

Give the once over - pricing of songs is determined by their popularity. The people behind the site say that their experience has shown that when the price drops people diversify their music portfolio. Hear that RIAA?!?!? When the price is LOWERED people buy MORE and DIFFERENT music!

**Scary cool thought - how about real-time pricing of learning content? Think about the diversification that could take place, the 'bio-diversity' in the 'learning ecosystem' that could present itself if developers instead of just taking the most popular and hence the highest-priced content, looked around more and discovered those nooks and crannies hiding some previously unknown learning gems [see craphounds].
