Incorporated Subversion November 4, 2004
Posted by Andy Roberts in : meta-blog , trackbackJames Farmer’s blog has been of great interest since I first started subscribing to education blogs over a year ago. It’s one of the most useful sources about edu blogging, since he draws from far more more than just a tentative experimental experience. A short while ago James moved his blog to his own domain name (incsub.org) and began offering free consultation, hosting and open source tools to support teachers who want to incorporate blogging into their courses. Then a couple of days ago he posted a disclaimer, followed by an explanation that his employer had astonishingly sent him a memo “instructing me to cease supporting and promoting weblogging, wikis or any other technology not officially supported by the University.”
It’s not possible to comment on why and wherefore this has happened, and I reckon it will be resolved pretty quickly but it is well worth noting the way the great and the good of the International Education Blogging Community have rallied round to James’ suport. You didn’t know there was an Intnl Edu blog community? - well there is now.
Here is the RSS feed for comments on James Farmer’s blog entry “difficult” in which you will find at time of posting 64 comments including rallying calls from such as Stephen Downes and Alan Levine (CogDog). You may want to leave a message of support of your own.
