Findley Wed, 01 Oct 2008 01:21:04 +0000 http://www.goldenswamp.com/?p=1208#comment-58966 Luigi Canali De Rossi also known as Robin Good on his web analysis of tools of collaboration in the new media recently explained the emerging role of newsmastering using newsradar tools. According to Good, Newsmastering is a new and emerging skill that involves gathering, filtering and selecting from the chaos of information that saturates the internet, and delivering the resulting news feed to niche-targeted audiences, perhaps learners. Maybe the learning facilitator ( teacher) starts looking a little like Robin Good's news master.

Printed information does not have an inherent validation aspect, but open networked material does. The migration of information to the internet places it into a network ecology where new kinds of mechanisms (network laws) emerge the best of information in context. Google was the first to harness these mechanisms -- with search weighted by human verification (how many and who linked to a webpage). You are right, Sam, that human validation and expert recommendation are essential. Open networking empowers human validated aggregation. When an expert links to a webpage she admires, she "gives it juice," as the SEO (search engine optimizers) say. Educators should be working to use the network mechanisms, not to hold back from the new connected knowledge ecology. Sam, thanks for your input!

There will always be a requirement for human validated information, since otherwise there would be no way for the learner to know if it it true, false or irrelevant. In fact the demand for "human validated" or "human/expert recommended" information would be much more in the internet age.
