Albert totally nails it in his post on the Learning Objects "debate". Basically - get over it. Move along. Do (and use) whatever is appropriate to what you're trying to do. One size does not fit all. Caveat emptor, etc... I especially like his tips for subscribers to "information transfer" vs. "social constructivitistic" paradigms of... »

I made some time to sit down and play with Rails this evening, and thought I'd work on a simple Bookmark Manager (ala del.icio.us) - a piece of software that I am sorta familiar with, since I use del.icio.us a fair bit, and have some ideas that I think would improve the service. So,... »
