I seriously need to get back to Dupont for some riding. - Kevin Gamble via Bookmarklet

"Wait for others to innovate their way forward. Let them shape the future educational context without your input, and hope that 10 years from now higher education is still a place where your institution is relevant. (If it isn’t, you’ll have only yourself to blame.)" - Kevin Gamble

"Don’t assume you’ll ever raise another round. Most projected timelines should contain a event that’s called “This is where the miracle occurs.” A much better assumption is that no miracle occurs," - Kevin Gamble via Bookmarklet

Your blog is totally blacklisted at my office for some reason. - Daniel J. Pritchett

@Daniel -- How cool is that? I feel totally honored. - Kevin Gamble

Using an online question-and-answer (Q&A) service, communicators at Oregon State University found an unexpected way to characterize Extension's online clients and to measure the impact of Extension's online resources. - Kevin Gamble

In 2006, an Internet resource known as eXtension was launched. The online resource represents the realization of the Extension Committee on Organization and Policy's (ECOP) vision to develop a resource with the potential to increase Cooperative Extension's Internet presence - Kevin Gamble

“It is an easy to use communication tool that works on the basis of a simple Q&A system. The user types in a one-sentence question and waits for the response. If another user knows the answer they just e-mail back directly and privately to the recipient’s inbox. As users are only allowed to write a single sentence, and only if it is in the form of a question, it keeps messages very succinct and appealing to read." - Kevin Gamble via Bookmarklet

Sometimes location matters sometimes it doesn't. It's all contextual. - Kevin Gamble

"Real-time businesses therefore must get rid of long-term strategy plans, product road maps, goals and objectives, and all the other superfluous documents that distract organizations from focusing on their true mission – the here and now. Real-time business is inherently social – there is no real-time without social. The more businesses open up their organizations and invite external voices into their inner sanctum, the more real-time they will become" - Kevin Gamble via Bookmarklet

"Today, just as it was back then, "Who is the author?" is the root question. If you don't find one, turn your skepticism meter to the top of the dial." - Kevin Gamble via Bookmarklet

"I'm not arguing against higher learning but for it -- and against the degree system that stands in its way." - Kevin Gamble via Bookmarklet

wow, that was straight up - "Too many professors who are bound to degree teaching can't truly profess; they don't proclaim loudly the things they know but instead whisper them to a chosen few, whom they must then accommodate with inflated grades." - Jason Adam Young

Well, the whole grading process gets in the way of higher learning. It needs to be scrapped. - Kevin Gamble

"Communitarianism harkens back to methods of knowledge production and decision making in traditional closed societies, where decision making in both knowledge and social processing relied heavily on community consensus and on cultural traditions that are strongly supported and reinforced by an organic tightly knit community." - Kevin Gamble via Bookmarklet

I fully grok that the revenue generating strategies of old have been displaced and that we don't know what's going to emerge in their place. We can mourn their loss (or not). The problem with these arguments is what people think needs to be done to preserve the dinosaurs. Lots of business models have been obsoleted by new technologies. Something new and sustainable will emerge. - Kevin Gamble via Bookmarklet

"... new and sustainable will emerge." New yes, sustainable, never. Always going to be models/concepts/activities waxing and waning. Always going to be people lamenting the passing of something. - Mark Varner

Mark-- Sustainable for a while? Transient sustainability? - Kevin Gamble
