Quoting from a new paper by “The Center for Economic and Policy Research”:http://www.cepr.net/ Co-Director Dean Baker,
The AFV is an alternative designed to maximize the power of individual choice, while working with the full potential of technology. Whereas the copyright system provides a state-enforced monopoly leading to enormous costs, inefficiencies and enforcement problems, the AFV provides a voucher system for creative workers that would lead to savings to consumers, taxpayers and the government. Lower advertising costs, an end to police or FBI crackdowns on students downloading music, and less monitoring by internet service providers of their customers are just a few examples of savings from the AFV system.

Had to point to this great post over on Learning Circuits: “We are the Problem: We are selling Snake Oil”:http://www.internettime.com/lcmt/archives/001014.html. To quote briefly:
We now have ample data to show that:
– Training does not work.
– eLearning does not work.
– Blending Learning does not work.
– Knowledge Management does not work.
Although it will seem uncharacteristic, I’m not sure how I feel about the piece. Some of it must certainly be true… the question is, how much?
Without knowing it was going to happen, I met Maish from “Elearningpost”:http://www.elearningpost.com/ at the Learning Objects conference in Singapore yesterday. A very welcome surprise… Who would we hang out with when we travel around the globe if it weren’t for people from the blogosphere?
Maish wrote a “complimentary summary of my sessions”:http://www.elearningpost.com/archives/2003_11.asp#002220 yesterday for those who missed last week’s thread on the topic.

How did I miss this one? One of the coolest guys around is now intellectually exposing himself in the blogosphere. “http://rubens.cs.kuleuven.ac.be:8989/mt/blogs/ErikLog/”:http://rubens.cs.kuleuven.ac.be:8989/mt/blogs/ErikLog/
This is great news… I’d been having a devil of a time keeping up with him.

Wayne Hodgins normally gets to give this talk, but in a few weeks it will be my turn. In preparation for a talk to be delivered at the Singapore National Learning Objects Conference, I did a survey of people I follow, what they?re doing relating to online teaching and learning, and looked for trends…
