What if my kid went to Dawson's School of Online Learning?

I started wondering, not long ago, if my fictional education aggregator, Dawson's School of Online Learning (DSOL, pronounced Dee-Sole, for short, since every school has to have a good acronym) was such a great idea. How would I feed if one of my own kids decided to go there instead...

What is the Frankfurt School?

... reconstituted in a new organisation which is as artificial and mechanical as a modern factory. Christopher Dawson. Enquiries into Religion and Culture, p. 259. What is the Frankfurt School?

Blackboard embraces and extends into open source movement

Anyone seeking a case study of how a proprietary software company can “embrace and extend” itself into the open source world should stop thinking Microsoft and start thinking Blackboard . (Picture from the University of Alaska. Bonus points if you find a link to Russia from the site.) Blackboard has a long-running feud with open source , ably chronicled by our own Christopher Dawson ....

Remember when FrontPage seemed pretty slick?

October 29th, 2009 Remember when FrontPage seemed pretty slick?Posted by Christopher Dawson @ 10:16 pmCategories: Tags: , , , , , , , , Well, maybe you don’t. But the idea of a WYSIWYG HTML editor was more than a little exciting before the Web completely exploded. Now, of course, the Web has completely exploded. Over and over.

Yes, Ubuntu can absolutely be the default Windows alternative

And I don't just mean for geeks. I mean a real, viable alternative to Windows for many users despite the apparent quality of both Windows 7 and Server 2008. by Christopher Dawson

Relax, kids...Windows 7 is just another OS

Sure, it's a nicely polished operating system. But hand it to anyone under the age of 25 and the only question they'll ask is "where's the web browser?" by Christopher Dawson

Are today's new iMacs and Minis game-changers?

What I'm really wondering is if Moore's Law can hook me up with a lot more bang for my buck than I got almost three years ago at the beginning of one of our lease cycles. Not once did I mention Apple during last night's musings. by Christopher Dawson

Netbooks may not be for everyone, but they're peachy in Ed

Where the users Michael Dell discussed see a screen that is 4 or 5 inches too small, kids see a footprint that fits on their desks or in their laps. Where Michael Dell sees a cramped keyboard, kids see a keyboard that fits their hands. by Christopher Dawson

Netbook or a cheap Compaq for students?
