Well I've started reading my modules, and just got beyond the intro Getting Started. There were so many links in just this bit that I can see I'm going to have to brush up on my own information literacy to quickly sort out the must follow links. Lots of buzz words for things - i do remember now that one of the probs that i actually had with the education dept of Macquarie Uni, when i did my degree was thier love of giving old concepts and ideas new names to make it appear as if there is new thought!!
For example - the information process model! Thought i'd better click on that link since i had no idea what that was and was rather amused to find on the Dept of Education website what appeared to be a mind map of common sense! Classic!
Hi Kirsten. I agree with you about the renaming of old ideas to make them new again! I used to argue with the lecturers at uni that I shouldn't have to get every idea from some other source - surely some ideas I could claim as my own? Apparently it's the way education works ;)
