On the Internet, we’ve reached a tipping point where more than 50% of all Internet traffic is no longer generated by humans – instead, it's generated by a motley mix of search engine spiders, bots, scrapers, scammers, hackers and, yes, spies. We are no longer talking about the Internet, we are talking about the Bot Net – a “bot-mediated reality” where algorithms and bots influence where we go, how long we spend there and with whom we communicate.

This article, by Ed Hootstein presents a model for an e-learning facilitator who "wears four pairs of shoes" - acting as: _instructor (consultant, guide, and resource provider ),
It could be helpful to e-facilitators as a checklist of their capabilities.
Hootstein refers to Zane Berge's list of the primary primary instructional tasks of an e-learning facilitator: _provide information to help learners complete assignments
He groups methods for achieving these tasks, under these headings: _Fostering learner-centeredness,
His conclusion is that "Steps should be taken to develop standards for facilitators' roles in developing and implementing quality e-learning programs. Defining the roles is a step towards that goal, in helping facilitators be more cognizant of their efforts." Via CM Elias 
As schools’ acceptance of mobile tools such as smartphones and tablets becomes more widespread, educators are struggling with how to incorporate them into current teaching models. Experts say schools need to get beyond the technology cart—treating these tools as accessories that get wheeled in and wheeled out an hour later—and educators need guidance on how to change their teaching practices to take advantage of what mobile learning has to offer. Yet examples of what these new pedagogical models might look like are hard to come by. Via Nik Peachey, Official AndreasCY

"MIT wants to change all that by tasking thousands of people with analyzing a 0.3-millimeter slice of mouse retinal tissue. Using a new site called Eyewire, MIT will ask users to track a neuron’s path by coloring in each axon (tendril). In the future, MIT will roll out another “game” which challenges users to find the synapses. The end result will be the connectome (a tome of connections) of the mouse’s retina." Via Howard Rheingold This is an excerpt from the article by Steven Rosenbaum and published by Forbes.
"It used to be that company communication was all top down. Today, things are changing fast – as the tools and networks for communication are broken wide open.
Within the world of corporate communication, there are new school of thought that say there are the thinkers who are looking to turn this big noisy mess into value for their brands and corporate parents.
Ben Edwards the VP Digital Strategy and Development for IBM explains: "“I think there are some emerging roles, potential roles for you know, coms professionals to think about. One of them I think a lot about is this notion of curation.”
At IBM, the voice of the company is increasingly coming from the intranet, known internally as W3. W3 has been leading a transformation from professional to user-generated content within IBM.
The IBM vision is to embrace, rather than ignore the growing voice and knowledge of their community. “One of the measures that we like to talk about is called ‘Professionally Produced Content versus Employee Published Content’.
“We think we have a role in bringing the external perspective into the employee base” says Edwards. That makes IBM a curator as much as a communicator.
