I have done a couple of blog posts that may seem a bit confused. I am still trying to develop ideas about quality. Critique has been a block on this, I think. Cloudworks, based at the OU, is working on social learning and studying social media. I have tried out Cohere as a way to map ideas. Screenshot on my learn9 blog But also I have some doubts about social media and current push from advertising. see blog about reading the Guardian or in this case the Observor. Some critique on social media would be welcome.
