Im no Facebook super-user and I havent experienced a huge time suck from it, but I suppose its possible. Update: Also be sure to check out this Facebook post over at the Read/Write Web that follows this same "study." So Im not sure the issue is people leaking secret information, but maybe just companies afraid of being bad-mouthed.

Im guessing youre designing online distance learning courses. Im in the weird place of for-profit education, which really has characteristics of both market sectors. Having just a bachelors degree seems to be fine as long as you arent working directly for the universities (Im not sure about K-12 online). What do you do?

Reading through the recent blog post by Graham Attwell on Vygotsky's theory , I find myself agreeing with a lot of what has been discussed. Lev Vygotsky's ideas were the product of his lifelong immersion in Communist Soviet society, and it's apparent as you read his writings just how influenced he was by the notion of collective action.
