Thursday, January 27th, 2005“I took the pilot of version of the CDM- Conflict Management module awhile back. I found
the information very useful. Not only do I use it in my own
dealings, but I often refer to it when helping junior staff work
through their own conflict situations. As a result, I’m getting a
reputation as the person to see if you need to get a difficult message
across.”

Online learning connects soldiers in training to the battlefield
Monday, January 24th, 2005From the Writing for the Web blog by Crawford Killian
Link
Dan Baum has a fascinating article in The New Yorker
about the US Army's painful but promising transition from a top-down,
one-way “instrumentalist” communication model to a two-way interactive
online communication model. Soldiers on the ground in Iraq are now
using websites to share their experience and lessons learned with
colleagues still in training.
Educators are still slow in understanding the significance of the
interactive “constructivist” model as an inherent trait of
computer-based communications. While I consider the US Army the
greatest single educational institution in history, it's clearly just
as hidebound as most of us civilians. But Baum argues that Gen-X
officers and men are more imaginative, and less respectful of
hierarchy, than their Boomer superiors. They also take the Internet for
granted, so the interactive, “horizontal” constructivist model is
something they've grown up with.
Whatever your views of the war (and mine are highly negative), this is an important glimpse into the way the Web is changing us.

RSS Reader Panel is an RSS feed reader extension for Mozilla Firefox and Firebird
browser — it integrates RSS Feed Reader within the browser. RSS Reader
Panel is another example of the power of “extensions” within Mozilla's
strategy of modularity — expand your browser capabilities when you
want and with what you need (there are currently over 160 extensions for Firefox browser).

A Prediction Markets Portal
Monday, January 24th, 2005I received an email from Chris F. Masse who discovered my posts here
(maybe he has a persistent search set up for “prediction markets”). He
sent me a link to his incredibly comprehensive site about prediction
markets, saving me tons of research time, not to mention giving me
valuable comparative information about potential vendors. It's great to
be able to find the information you need, but it's even better when
that information finds you. Thank you, Chris.
