Subject: Improving e-learning on SDN

Response to: Clay Shirky link from Maggie Fox


I agree. In its current form, e-learning on SDN is much like watching TV with the implication that Shirky's comments about cognitive surplus definitely apply. The question might be how to combine this technology with a more collaborative flavor.
Maybe, the ability to chat with experts on the subject would be a possibility. For example, I'm watching a demonstration on portal technology and I have a question. On the right side of the screen is a list of portal experts currently on-line. I click on a name and a chat starts with this individual. Of course, this would imply that SDN needs to have a more real-time collaboration functionality. Just had an idea, what about somehow using existing twitter technology for something like this. You need a widget in SDN that somehow allows these questions to be posted on twitter. Just an idea.
