Sleeve Notes

The first of the autumn podacasts from Sounds of the Bazaar. From now on these will be published fortnightly (at least I will try).

In this edition:

Blackboard - what are the deeper issues behind Blackboards patent on VLEs - Graham Attwell’s regular rant. Graham Attwell sees the Balckboard patent as an inevitable result of the provatesation of learning infrastructures and the commodificationof learning. He goes on to call for more support for Open Source developers.
John Steinbeck on patents - in East of Eden, published in 1952, Steinbeck about the “very bad patent habit, a disease many men suffer from”.
What is the Bazaar project all about - an interview with Raymond Elferink
