My post Working Out Loud Week Lesson: Ignore the Network apparently struck a chord. And what’s most interesting to me is that it did so among people whose work I truly admire. They’ve reminded me of what’s really important about this “out loud” process.…

Working out loud week lesson: Ignore the network
I am still reflecting on the experience of the #msloc430 working out loud week. Yes, this definitely was one of those let’s-just-do-this-and-see-what-happens events. But I am beginning to see lessons. One lesson is – ignore the network. Or put another way: It’s ok to chat up the fire hydrant.…

A design challenge update: Diversity (and quantity!) of working out loud posts
Last night I posted a bit about the design constraints of our enterprise social network system in trying to mimic some of the serendipitous interactions that you experience when working out loud on the web. Or participating in a cMOOC, which encourages learning and thinking out loud.…
Diversity of working out loud topics and the constraints of #ESN design

Warming up to the official start of #msloc430 Working Out Loud Week May 4-10
I’ll be here, narrating some of my own work and thoughts on this effort as we go through the week ahead. But we’re already witnessing the kind of experimentation that a short-burst work-out-loud event seems to inspire – both on Twitter and within our graduate program’s private enterprise social network.…

Part II: Popping the lid off of #msloc430
The Winter quarter session of the course I teach – MSLOC 430, which explores enterprise social networks (ESNs) and their impact on work and learning – ended a month ago. It was my first attempt to pop the lid off of the course by designing some ways in which both the enrolled, on-site graduate students […]…
