Albert Ip just posted a description of a potential use of Flickr.com: Learning Object Authoring… Looks pretty cool, and perhaps one of the simplest way of doing this (until APOLLO and Pachyderm go live… 
)
Update: I had incorrectly typed Albert’s last name as “Yip” – Sorry, Albert! All I can think of is some kind of latent Vern Yip flashback from too many episodes of Trading Spaces or something… (Janice was a Trading Spaces junkie, so I was exposed to entirely too much of that – there is an upside to downsizing to just basic cable )
Update 2: OOPS! I likely saw this first over at Brian’s place, considering Albert’s post is just a link to Brian’s post (which is itself a link to the original post by randomwalks, which is itself a link to Bertrand’s Flickr Learning Object. All of this stuff just kinda merges together, so it’s hard to remember where stuff came from. I’m adding the trail here so I can access each link later…
{ 3 comments… read them below or add one }
It gets better, Brian – the link I pasted for “Brian’s Place” was the wrong one, too! I still had the one to Trading Spaces in the clipboard, rather than the proper careo.elearning.ubc.ca url. Doh. Fixed
Sorry to add to the “oops’”, but “Random Walk in eLearning” is Albert’s weblog… randomWalks is the original weblog post — they are not an eLearning bunch…
What is the correct spelling of my family is a total mystery. When I was young, it was spelt YIP (so, D’Arcy was correct). Then I suddenly learnt that in my birth certificate, it was spelt IP. So I changed to Ip. My father later told me that his surname (or our family name) should be spelt JAP (because of an Indonesian background of my grandfather). Now, I don’t know whether I should make any more change.
The implication of this is that I will have a hard time to convince the Australian authority that my father is my father although we don’t have the same spelling of our family names.
The world is complicated enough, why I have all these additional problems just because I type English faster than Chinese!
