NEW YORK — What’s ahead on TV? In a couple of weeks the broadcast networks will announce their fall schedules.

Meanwhile, viewers await word on how “The CBS Evening News” will be retooled into a newscast for the next generation. Thus does television race to meet the future.

But there are clues to that future available to anyone who looks for them. Check your computer screen, for instance, for evidence of what someday may be known as what used to be TV _ like “Rocketboom.”

Modeled on television yet summoned from cyberspace, each bite-sized dispatch shines a light on what the future seems to be: Whatever you feel like putting out there, accessible to anyone at any time, and (since there will no longer need to be fixed roles in this process) whatever everyone else feels like putting out there for you … Quelle: Washington Post

Werden diese z.T. extrem kleinen und granularen Lernbausteine auch in jede beliebige Lernumgebung passen? Wird trotzdem das Qualitätsniveau dieser Lernmodule hoch genug sein? Kann sich jeder Lerner und Bildungsanbieter diese Inhalte leisten? Und kann man seine eigenen Lernmodule auch auf einer zentralen Plattform weiterverkaufen …. weiter im CHECKpoint-elearning

Sicher. Lustig. Effektiv

Safe. Fun. Effective. TV-B-Gone ist ein unauffälliges Gadget, das jeden (US)Fernseher im Umkreis von 50 Metern abschaltet (keine Ahnung, ob und wie das in Europa funktioniert), ein Schelm, wer Böses dabei denkt:

“According to the U.S. Census Bureau, there are about 250 million television sets in the U.S. and we can guess that the majority of them are turned on a lot of the time. This is not bad, but there are some occasions when you just need to do everyone a favor and turn the TV off. Enter the TV-B-Gone, a small television remote that hangs on your keychain and turns off virtually any television with the press of button. “Now, what would be the purpose of such a device?” you may be asking yourself …”
