smithjd: #oce2009 where are the real technology issues in all these community issues?
smithjd: #oce2009 how design for the me, the we, and the network levels? At the same time? How understand all these levels?
smithjd: #oce2009 what happens inside all those community boxes? how represent it? how much visibility is appropriate?
smithjd: #oce2009 Why did the project succeed? Why did the other fail? Can I ever figure it out?
smithjd: #oce2009 Online communities, online community projects swamped by external f2f events: good or bad? When does online lead? when follow?
smithjd: #oce2009 everbody lives in their own feed reader: doesn't seem like a home. "old tech model" of a common place is being bypassed.
suewolff: @smithjd @nancywhite @currie #oce2009 Just as well I've been offline enough to miss this event, but envious and wishing I was with you!
smithjd: @suewolff #oce2009 you would add so much to this conversation! I can imagine follow-up projects from today that would be online & global
smithjd: #oce2009 Who's not here? How can we bring their voices into the conversation? How do we connect with them outside of this f2f event?
smithjd: #oce2009 what's the best combination of tools / platform for a community hatching? Are there different hatcheries for different groups?
draggin: The right tool for the job, can often be right under your nose.... there is usually some drawing involved. #oce2009
sleslie: #oce2009 I'm overwhelmed. Talking about community is not just an intellectual exercise, need time and space to absorb it, feel it, live it

The Formation of Scholars: Rethinking Doctoral Education for the Twenty-First Century (2007) by George Walker, Chris M. Golde, Laura Jones, Andrea Conklin Bueschel, Pat Hutchings. http://www.carnegiefoundation.org/publications/pub.asp?key=43&subkey=678 studied 78 institutions. looked at students and faculty together. (Cindy: you should read this the 2nd year in grad school)
Margaret Riehl example of a wiki with assignments to individuals, to the cohort and to "the program". negotiation of meaning.
Force-fitting educational practice into available tools. HOw take digital identity forward from grad school to work? Lack of a priori vocabularies and protocols.
Graduates should be able to leave with intact networks.
Example of Royal Roads course that "contained" CPsquare's Foundations of Communities of Practice workshop as a way of changing the educational model.
Holland, Dorothy C. & Lave, Jean., History in person: enduring struggles, contentious practice, intimate identities (Santa Fe, N.M.: School of American Research Press, 2001) ISBN: 9781930618008; History in Person: An Introduction. by dorothy Holland and Jean Lave.
Searching for cases of success:
* Initiated by students themselves: Patricia Arnold dissertation.
* Initiated by an institution: Linda Polin cohort designs at Masters & Phd levels at Pepperdine.

I'm reminded of this paper, suggesting that assessment itself IS an ongoing practice with all kinds of positive and negative consequences:

I live in Portland, a little further south in Cascadia. I probably put more time into http://cpsquare.org (my main community project) than I do into http://LearningAlliances.net (my business).
Recently I've been thinking a lot about wikis and how they connect to communities. So many tricky issues there! At the Recent Changes Camp here in Portland a couple months ago, Ward Cunningham, the inventor of the wiki, made a comment to the effect that, "To a community, 'not done' is good news." I think that's true and yet it's problematic for the organizations that support communities.
I'm excited to spend the day with the group and get to know everybody.
