Argument 2.0
Martin Weller has started something interesting:
I am starting something of an experiment today for the rest of this week.
I am going to construct an article by structuring a debate across four blogs. The article is around the future of content and starts in my next post.
The plan is:
Monday - I post a piece on where I think digital content is going, arguing that it is moving towards being free and widely distributed.
Tuesday - Ray Corrigan is going to post a piece responding to mine which looks at how digital rights may make it a more, not less, controlled future for content.
Wednesday - Patrick McAndrew will focus it on education by bringing in the perspective from open educational resources.
Thursday - Will Woods will look at some of the relevant technologies and how these might impact.
Friday - we’ll draw some conclusions.
It’s an intriguing idea. The only problem is the timescale. Martin’s opening contribution covers a lot of ground and begs many questions. If Ray can respond effectively in 24 hours, then he’s a quicker thinker than I am.
