The Comment Collector has had a good realistic test with Connected Courses (#notover) - thanks to all for your support by way of retweets, comments etc. This is the last ccourses Comment Collector output I will publish here - au revoir!
How did you use the Comment Collector?Did you look at the output displayed here daily, weekly, occasionally, never? Does the Collector provide a supplementary service or has it a distinctly different function from other facilities such as the blog and twitter aggregation provided by ccourses? Should the Collector give more information (eg twitter identities) or less? Your opinions on any of these issues or other aspects would be very helpful to me in deciding whether or how to develop the Collector. Comments can be added here - Collecting Connected Courses Comments (ccourses). | |

CogDogBlog: '#over / #notover … no one decides'by Alan Levine aka CogDog on 13 Dec 2014 | |
| It’s actually some sort of inside out zen riddle. Pretty much the concept of a course as most all of us know through decades of conditioning is that classes/courses are clearly bounded in time. The school sets the schedule, the teacher gives out the final grade. All rather clear signals of a learning experience reaching its terminus. And largely (I am counting on you Sandy to find me exceptions, I know they exist), most xMOOCs are bounded to. The web shutters go up at Coursera, FutureLearn, et al. | Dinner at my house comes with question, "Do you want white wine or ...(Sandy Brown Jensen,13 Dec) I was about to post a comment saying that what happens next depends on what each ...(Maha Bali,13 Dec) Thanks, Alan.

NEW SAVANNA: 'It’s Complicated 2: Graffiti and Public Space'by Bill Benzon on 09 Dec 2014 | |
| You are looking at two of the handful of arches known in Jersey City collectively as the Bergen Arches. In my experience, while many people have heard of “the Arches”, few people have a clear idea of what and where they are and even fewer have been there, though many pass beside them as they drive on Rt. 139. The arch to the left is over the remaining roadbed of a trolley line, which is where we’re standing. The one on the right goes over the Erie Cut, a man-made geological formation that used to accommodate four railroad tracks. Three of them have been ripped out; the the fourth is broken and busted. The Erie Cut is almost a mile long and goes under four or five more arches, though thre... | Bill this is a fantastic piece of work. Thank you.
