Dialogue Mapping The icons represent the basic elements of the Dialogue Mapping™ grammar (called IBIS): Questions, Ideas, Pros and Cons. This is a very simple map, meant to convey the basics of IBIS. In real meetings and projects the maps are much larger, more complex, and can be nested deeply. Here's an example of some larger maps from a 2-day strategic planning meeting: Help us find the new way of working and learning A collaborative experiment by kicking off a ‘Blog Carnival’ We’ve seen a lot of change over the past years, not only with the popularity and influence of social networks and tools such as Facebook, LinkedIn or Twitter, etc. With new generations of employees coming in, we have also seen new approaches and trends emerging in the work place and society at large. For example, over 64% of our over 48,000 employees already belong to the so-called ‘Generation YGeneration Y is the generation born in the 1980s and 1990s, comprising primarily the children of the baby boomers and typically perceived as increasingly familiar with digital and electronic technology.

This project is an evolution of Tranglos Keynote (of Marek Jedlinski), with new features like: Checkboxes on children of selected nodes Selecting checkboxes for all nodes (View/Tree Checkboxes -- now View/All nodes Checkboxes) is still posible. WICKED PROBLEMS 2.0 I met Jeff Conklin a few years ago when he did a presentation of dialogue mapping using the open source software Compendium developed in conjunction with Verizon - yes the telecommunications company. Dialogue mapping enables a facilitator to track the iteration of conversations about complex problems or "wicked problems" as multiple speakers work through their understanding of the issue and derive an approach or design not necessarily a solution. As we all know, dialogues such as these generally do not flow in neat linear progression nor do they have "air tight" solutions. Complex problems have a way of morphing just when a few people think they have a break through in understanding the issue let alone a solution. So we are mostly coming up with best case approximations of an approach over time.

CATMA - Computer Aided Textual Markup & Analysis The newest CATMA version is implemented as a web application. It is available here. In contrast to the older desktop versions (available for download below), CATMA 4 facilitates the collaborative work on texts due to the web environment. Further new features include an improved user interface, new Query possibilities and the option to analyze whole corpora. A revised manual for CATMA 4 is available online and as a PDF download. The source code can be accessed at GitHub and is released under the GNU general public license v3. Transclusion B is transcluded in the document A In computer science, transclusion is the inclusion of a document or part of a document into another document by reference. For example, an article about a country might include a chart or a paragraph describing that country's agricultural exports from a different article about agriculture. Rather than copying the included data and storing it in two places, a transclusion embodies modular design, by allowing it to be stored only once (and perhaps corrected and updated if the link type supported that) and viewed in different contexts.
How Educators Are Using Learnist Digital Tools By Jennifer Roland In the weeks since Learnist launched, educators have been finding ways to put it to use. Learnist, as many have already pointed out, works much like Pinterest — a way to catalog online resources on a topic and share them with the user’s social network. And like Pinterest, it looks like a digital bulletin board with pictures and messages, and connects with Facebook accounts.
