Some Specifications about the Loosely Coupled Gradebook
An overall vision of a loosely coupled learning network
Jon uses the Spider and Starfish Analogy and applies it to teaching and learning – wonderful post. In open source and open thinking – this book should be required reading and there should be a quiz that people must pass with a score of 100% before they can join an open source project or even use the word “open” in a sentence in public.
Time to do some research….
