"Conversation. What is it? A Mystery! It's the art of never seeming bored, of touching everything with interest, of pleasing with trifles, of being fascinating with nothing at all. How do we define this lively darting about with words, of hitting them back and forth, this sort of brief smile of ideas which should be conversation?" Guy de Maupassant

Weblogs in learning experiences

"Masters of Design.

All articles from this month's fantastic issue of FastCompany are now online. The feature article, Masters of Design, looks at how and why design matters." [elearningpost]

Read too Maish's take on 'How to use weblogs to create engaging learning experiences' where he outlines a design method that incorporates three attributes of weblogs -  1) personal point of view, 2) chronological nature and 3) byte-sized posts.  He concludes by saying :

"In conclusion, I would like to stress that the informal and engaging attributes of the weblog format can be used even in the light of tightly scheduled and highly focused training situations. The simple alternatives outlined in this paper can liberate us from the tyranny of product-oriented delivery and help us build continuous, engaging and memorable learning experiences"
