The ICC Annual Conference 2005
is called "Language and culture - intercultural competence in language education". One of the workshops is hosted by Inge-Anna Koleff and myself, titled "ICT and Intercultural Training: the Use of Weblogs and other Media in Language Teaching". The workshop uses a weblog set up for this event.
Mark Warschauer's excellent
Papyrus News is now in Blog format (used to be newsletter). Languages, learning, teaching, and social relations in digital and networked environments. Most readable and enlightening.
In-Room Chat as a Social Tool
In-Room Chat as a Social Tool by Clay Shirky -- This fall, I hosted a two-day brainstorming session for 30 or so people on the subject of social software. In addition to the usual "sit around a big table and talk to each other" format, we set up an in-room chat channel accessible over the WiFi network which created a two-channel experience -- a live conversation in the room, and an overlapping real-time text conversation.

This weblog intends to keep track of research and development in the field of collective cognition. In particular, the blog addresses technological artifacts and the way they accumulate and develop knowing in groups of people, - how these people solve complex problems by using complementing and contesting competencies.
