Diversity University is an experiment in interactive learning through
internet.
We are attempting to create a practical learning environment containing as
many
areas of study as we can accurately provide. If you would like to help us
create this monolith of learning, we could use the help.
As one of many participants in this experiment, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical
University (ERAU) has agreed to temporarily allow this program on their
system. ERAU is in no way responsible for the content of the material that
may be placed in this environment. Your feedback on this experiment would be

Marcus' Office
A lab room in a theoretical physics department in Hamburg, Germany. You see
enrollment lists for several planned GNA Internet courses on a desk at the
window. On a terminal, GNA logos are popping up and down, and frequent beeps
tell you that Marcus' mailbox is filling up slowly but steadily. Outside,
thick clouds are passing and it looks like rain every minute. From a window,
you view the river Elbe. Your eye can rest on all the green around. Physics
buildings are rising here and there, and deep in the ground, a giant
accelerator is humming. In one corner, you see a small table with an ashtray
on it, a recliner and a couch.
Exits include: [gna] to GNA Central, [out] to Science Faculty Hall (303-304)
Marcus (gobsloptious) is sitting in the recliner, his legs on the table,
smoking a cigarette.
You see Schedule here.
You join Marcus in Marcus' Office.

You say, "didn't mail anything to him .... yeah for a discussion list could be

Marcus is afraid HIS blurp is too long either...
Marcus says, "also, you can for sure now eliminate your old sub-session
comments - i have incorporated many of them. just leave a link, maybe."
Marcus asks, "ok?"
Marcus says, "i am only worried that i cannot read 3 contribs. well, maybe i
can before thursday."

You exclaim, "actually marcus has to say something about that !"
Lapis_Guest says, "I was the sense and the meaning of my paper"
Marcus says, "I do, indeed. I also believe that you have to have DONE it to be
able to speak about it. The list of questions is extendable and not complete
at all. On the contrary, i tried to put what i did NOT find in the papers -
that's why it is a 'devil's list"
Marcus is just looking at Daniel peraya's paper
>"right, but the things you did not find - sorry - are totally unimportant to educators in some sense
You say, "right, but the things you did not find - sorry - are totally
unimportant to educators in some sense"
Marcus says, "note that the "how to improve real educ" and "target audience"
overlap with this."
Quartz_Guest arrives from nowhere.

You say, "remember that we had multimedia, satellite tv, video and everything
and nothing did work"
Quartz_Guest [to all]: This is Ken, Hi!
Marcus says, "interesting point of view. I am not sure yet that I understand.
The things I listed seemed to resemble your list of DE (in parts)."
>"lo ken !
You exclaim, "lo ken !"
Marcus waves.
>`marucs, oh it is there that's right, but in my opinion it should be central
Kaspar [to marucs,]: oh it is there that's right, but in my opinion it should
be central
Marcus will always concede that he may have missed the goals of a community he
does not belong to.
Marcus says, "I have no objections to let DanielP chair, of course, not to be
misunderstood."
Lapis_Guest says, "marcus feel fre to chair. I've explain to daniel S. that my
english is"
>`of course not :) .... I don't want him to chair the whole session, just a small sub session - or maybe just give him room as outside critique - that would be even better
Kaspar [to of]: course not :) .... I don't want him to chair the whole
session, just a small sub session - or maybe just give him room as outside
critique - that would be even better
Marcus [to danielS]: Also, we'll all be in the room to see what the central
interest will be :)
Marcus says, "I bet you'd be surprised. (And me too, maybe)."
>"most of the participants will be techno-freaks i am sure
You say, "most of the participants will be techno-freaks i am sure "
>
Marcus says, "We should maybe speak about the meaning of 'chair' first :)"
Marcus nods.
Marcus says, "I dont want to impose on a discussion in any way. If nobody
feels that social implications or target audience are a problem - fine with me
(i'll bring that up though)."
>"well, chair is both to organize discussion AND bring in discussion points which will be important for people inside and outside
You say, "well, chair is both to organize discussion AND bring in discussion
points which will be important for people inside and outside"
Marcus says, "If everyone feels the Web is FREE, WONDERFUL and UNBEATABLE,
fine with me: I will for sure object."
Marcus says, "...for T & L, that is."
>"It is absolutely important to be discussed, but I'd just like to see some more structure in advance ... maybe because i am a native german speaker :)
You say, "It is absolutely important to be discussed, but I'd just like to see
some more structure in advance ... maybe because i am a native german speaker
:)"
Marcus says, "Also, the point which I'm trying to make with 'Loreley' and
'GNA' is that there is a need for getting organized."
Marcus nods. I agree (also native german speaker)
Marcus says, "In this sense both 'comments' are not satisfying because they
further split up the topics."
Quartz_Guest [to to]: anyone Is there a problem with our organization or lack
of it for the conference?
>`marcus if you agree you maybe could just keep your points and put them under headers, but I get my money for finding out how we can teach something to somebody with new technology
Kaspar [to Marcus]: if you agree you maybe could just keep your points and put
them under headers, but I get my money for finding out how we can teach
something to somebody with new technology
>`quartz_guest ... nono just first comments on marcus discussion list - nothing dramatic
Kaspar [to Quartz_Guest]: ... nono just first comments on marcus discussion
list - nothing dramatic
Marcus maybe not 'sharp' enough in his blurb - I am discussing/writing
internet curricula since 1/2 year, already.
>`marcus right but you got 3 curricula ... whereas in the world there are HUNDREDS of distance teaching curricula and HUNDREDS of educational hypertext
Kaspar [to Marcus]: right but you got 3 curricula ... whereas in the world
there are HUNDREDS of distance teaching curricula and HUNDREDS of educational
hypertext
Marcus says, "But this is as pragmatic a viewpoint as mine."
Marcus nods
Jack_C arrives from nowhere.
>"the interessing thing is not the curriculum, but how you deliver it ... you certainly don't talk much about that in this list
You say, "the interessing thing is not the curriculum, but how you deliver it
... you certainly don't talk much about that in this list"
Jack_C says, "Hi Marcus"
Jack_C says, "Hi kaspar, hello everyone"

>finger Jack_C
Info on Jack_C (#5559):
a journalist working in Washington DC for many years. Jack_C's current
assignment is writing about environmental issues. Jack_C is interested in
participating in a writing workshop or seminar at DivU.
Jack_C is one of the programmers of DU.
Jack_C is in Marcus' Office
19 seconds idle time.
Jack_C isn't working at the moment.
>`Jack_C oh another moo hacker .... when I grow up I will too
Kaspar [to Jack_C]: oh another moo hacker .... when I grow up I will too
Marcus says, "I think I do. How to relate to classical 'vocational'
techniques. To printed matter. To money. To technique (related to an
audience)."
Marcus says, "but maybe we're (necessarily) just speaking different tongues."
Marcus hopes *this* may be the fruitful base of discussion during this WS.
Jack_C plunges down on the couch.
Marcus lights a virtual cigarette...
...Thick clouds of smoke are slowly drifting through the room.
>`right ... actually I fully agree that this money, copyright stuff is important ... but it is just not the same thing ... I prefer some separation .. because this stuff can become commercial :( .. but for both the methodological issues are the same
Kaspar [to right]: ... actually I fully agree that this money, copyright stuff
is important ... but it is just not the same thing ... I prefer some
separation .. because this stuff can become commercial :( .. but for both the
methodological issues are the same
Marcus says, "In any discussion with professionals, I do notice that my
approach is "naive" - which I share with most of the university educators in
Science, unfortunately."
Marcus hms and thinks.
Jack_C drops Plate of Fiery's Birthday Cake.
Marcus says, "Now, we're getting to the point. I think that inthe case of
globewide tools, it is important that they are NOT kept separately."
>"I would not worry too much ... because each person who reinvents the wheel may come up with a better wheel. Most of people like you don't but the ones who do ... THEY bring in progress in education
You say, "I would not worry too much ... because each person who reinvents the
wheel may come up with a better wheel. Most of people like you don't but the
ones who do ... THEY bring in progress in education"
Marcus hms. Not clear how to interpret the 2nd part of that statement.
Marcus eyes Daniel P and Ken.
>`marcus ... sure you want to keep education free, but you just can't mis the two issues
Kaspar [to Marcus]: ... sure you want to keep education free, but you just
can't mis the two issues
Marcus says, "sorry for indulging in a 'private' talk with Daniel here..."
>"sorry was "mixed"
You say, "sorry was "mixed""
>`well i am speaking for Daniel P too !
Kaspar [to well]: i am speaking for Daniel P too !
Marcus [to Kaspar]: and also for Ken?
Marcus eyes Ken.
Jack_C listens intently but he hopes not rudely
>absoluty not :)
I don't understand that.
>"absoluty not :)
You say, "absoluty not :)"
Marcus [to Jack_C]: oh, not at all - and thanks for the lawyer contact btw.
Quartz_Guest [to Marcus]: I am here, but not sure when I should jump in. This
is interesting, but...
Jack_C says, "glad to be of help."
Marcus [to Jack_C]: btw, if you can access the Web, we're talking about a
workshop Teaching & Learning with WWW next week. see
http://tecfa.unige.ch/edu-ws94/ws.html

You exclaim, "but what ? ... scream if I make too much noise !"
Marcus waits for Ken to hit them over the...
Marcus grins
>:Kaspar looks for a couch to hide under
Kaspar Kaspar looks for a couch to hide under
Marcus says, "I am curious what you guys actually have to offer (for your
money) :)"
Jack_C makes a note in his notebook
Quartz_Guest [to Kasper]: You are not making too much noise. I just jumped in
on the middle and don't know what whent on befoer.
Marcus says, "I must confess that MY education is FULL of bad examples. one
reason for my being with GNA."
>"oh we are just discussin Marcus' page
You say, "oh we are just discussin Marcus' page"
Marcus [to Quartz_Guest]: i just asked Kaspar to read my 'structuring' - which
he identified as not centered enough for the session topic in question.
>" ...http://info.desy.de/gna/html/tl/comments.html
You say, " ...http://info.desy.de/gna/html/tl/comments.html"
Quartz_Guest [to all]: I liked the point about letting the participants
identify where they think their topic falls.
Lapis_Guest says, "I have to go; I'll be back in few moments"
Marcus asks, "Which I concede, but it's the only chance to drop some points.
And also, looking through the contribs - are *they* centered around your
topic, Kaspar?"
Lapis_Guest has disconnected.
Assistants of the local psychology institute arrive to cart Lapis_Guest off to
their dream-research labs.
Marcus [to Quartz_Guest]: this is an extension of your own proposal.
>"... the thing is we have to come up with results for a scientif workshop in the field
You say, "... the thing is we have to come up with results for a scientif
workshop in the field"
Marcus says, "In fact in a highly interdisciplinary field, Kaspar."
Marcus says, "Bringing together people only through a technology. IMO, no
technology alone is at the heart of progress. It's a vehicle. And we're
discussing how it applies to educational purposes."
>`I don't believe that .... conference in ANY of the various antagonist fiels of education, educational technology, cognitive science, etc etc are very tough on methodological issues
Kaspar [to I]: don't believe that .... conference in ANY of the various
antagonist fiels of education, educational technology, cognitive science, etc
etc are very tough on methodological issues
Marcus emphasizes ONLY and stresses a pretty untested technology.
Marcus [to Kaspar]: can you give an example? or name one? (or should i just
red YOUR contribution?)
>`the technology is not that much untested, remote hypertext and on-line education have been there
Kaspar [to the]: technology is not that much untested, remote hypertext and
on-line education have been there
Quartz_Guest says, "I think that there are many overlaps in each of the
topics. It is hard to bring it into an overall structure."
>"I don't want to eliminate overlaps - just make sure that we ALSO talk about education and not only on political and technical issues
You say, "I don't want to eliminate overlaps - just make sure that we ALSO
talk about education and not only on political and technical issues"
>`marcus: what kind of examples ? you mean distance education using computers ?
Kaspar [to marcus:]: what kind of examples ? you mean distance education using
computers ?
Quartz_Guest [to Kaspar]: I agree and understand. My purpose in working with
WWW is to use it to make progess in education and in the daily operations of
our University.
Marcus is just scrolling through Kaspar's own draft...
>`skip my draft -- it is AWFUL!
Kaspar [to skip]: my draft -- it is AWFUL!
Marcus [to Kaspar]: agreed :)
Marcus grins
Marcus [to Kaspar]: ...while GNA is rather attempting to reinvent education -
assuming that there is no wheel yet, actually (in some sense).
>"just had no f*cking time ... and btw education is absolutly not my field
You say, "just had no f*cking time ... and btw education is absolutly not my
field"
Jack_C has opened Mosaic and is casting about aimlessly
Marcus [to Kaspar]: I think it would have been nice to RECORD THIS
discusseion!
Marcus [to Jack_C]: dont find it? my comment is in
http://info.desy.de/gna/html/tl/comments.html
Marcus [to Kaspar]: recording and makign it HTML (for which the C++ course has
a script) for the WS.
>`marcus GNA is rather an attempt to make learning global and open ... that is an important issue, but the WAY in which this thing is done is for ME also important
Kaspar [to Marcus]: GNA is rather an attempt to make learning global and open
... that is an important issue, but the WAY in which this thing is done is for
ME also important
Marcus [to Kaspar]: For me too, no doubt. And increasingly so, since I joined.
One reason to bail out as a director and fully turn to courses.
>`marcus - I got an emacs buffer :)
Kaspar [to Marcus]: - I got an emacs buffer :)
Marcus got a buffer too, and the conversion Perl script - but has no power to
EDIT this buffer....will you?
Jack_C is slow but is getting there...
>`marcus euhh what power ?
Kaspar [to Marcus]: euhh what power ?
Marcus [to Quartz_Guest]: we could also ask the participants to split in TWO
separate groups in two corners of the room: one behind me, the other behind
Daniel :) :)
Marcus [to Kaspar]: i meant energy.
Marcus . o O ( and wrist )
>`you will totally loose because I will bring my collection of Swiss army knives
Marcus grins
Kaspar [to you]: will totally loose because I will bring my collection of
Swiss army knives
Quartz_Guest [to Marcus]: And they watch them fight it out? :-)
Marcus [to Kaspar]: to give them to whom? they'll all be behind me :) :)
Marcus imagines Kaspar being pulled to the floor by his metal collection :)

You ask, "Ken, can you handle the ws alone ?"

Marcus [to Ken]: this is unfair, because probably you dont even have a
client...
Marcus eyes Ken - yeah, maybe that's a solution
Marcus really appreciates that the organizers have humour!
Quartz_Guest [to all]: NO I CAN NOT and WILL Not, but i will help anyway I
can.
Marcus [to Kaspar]: which doesnt mean that I'll give way only 1 cm.
Jack_C finds the page fascinating but rl intrudes
Marcus laffs - ok, let's get back to CONTENTS.
Jack_C hopes to catch up with you all later.

Jack_C announces last call for a piece of birthday cake.
Jack_C daintily consumes the fattest piece on the plate.
Quartz_Guest [to all]: Quick qustins, what do we do about final drafts
missing?
Marcus nods.
Jack_C gets up from the couch.
Jack_C picks up Plate of Fiery's Birthday Cake.
Marcus [to ken]: there are none on the latest list...
Jack_C goes home.
Quartz_Guest [to march]: Lyn Keily's draft is still a series of questions and
what they want to do.
Marcus [to Kaspar]: to resolve the debate: add (with a link to his paper?)
that Daniel P will chair the session with me. to calm down everyone?
Marcus [to Kaspar]: otherwise: you have an OWN session for your methodology!
>`marcus - no not a good solution - he and you should be able to say whatever you like !
Kaspar [to Marcus]: - no not a good solution - he and you should be able to
say whatever you like !
Marcus quotes: "Give room to more technical/methodological contributions"
Marcus [to Kaspar]: in your header....anyways, i will but moderate - as
moderately as possible.
Marcus [to Kaspar]: but I think we should, on tuesday, talk about the SEQUENCE
of sessions seriously. because it may be your session should be first.
Marcus eyes Kaspar for an answer to Ken's question.
>`marcus, no that's not the point, if you want to present any day in any education conference anything it is just important to well separate out education from other issues
Kaspar [to marcus,]: no that's not the point, if you want to present any day
in any education conference anything it is just important to well separate out
education from other issues
Marcus [to Kaspar]: so what do you propose? that I replace my 'comments'?
reorder the items? (e.g. "contributions" first?)
Marcus thinks biasing is always a problem, everywhere...
>`marcus my suggestin is that you have one entry (1) Free education on the internet a la GNA (2) Education with the Web (all learning, teaching, distant and class-room support, etc and (3) some technical issues
Kaspar [to Marcus]: my suggestin is that you have one entry (1) Free education
on the internet a la GNA (2) Education with the Web (all learning, teaching,
distant and class-room support, etc and (3) some technical issues
Marcus asks, "I need to know how long we shall continue tonight ?"
Marcus [to Kaspar]: and put the 'devil's' questions accordingly?
>`marcus well fix half an hour ?
Kaspar [to Marcus]: well fix half an hour ?
Marcus [to Kaspar]: 'free education a la GNA' wont be free anymore after a
point.
>`marcus, right 1,5 is education, 6,4 is education politics, etc.
Kaspar [to marcus,]: right 1,5 is education, 6,4 is education politics, etc.
Marcus nods
Quartz_Guest [to all]: Did anyone look at my comments and see if I am way off
track?
>`quartz_guest .... yes, just let us finish this first
Kaspar [to Quartz_Guest]: .... yes, just let us finish this first
Marcus says, "no problem, if that is better with you. As you mentioned, maybe
I'll end up talking about technology only :)"
Quartz_Guest [to Kaspar]: okay.
Marcus nods Ken.
Marcus [to Kaspar]: I'll give it a try. ONE try :) because the course is
active and I'll have to fix some stuff tomorow and prepare the GNA talk.
>`marcus - right I don't want you to take anything out - I just want to make sure that we can report results for some WELL defined domains, e.g. how to improve the educational system (GNA), how to deliver stuff remotely (WWW), how to make sure that people learn (WWW, MOO, exercices, etc etc), etc.
Kaspar [to Marcus]: - right I don't want you to take anything out - I just
want to make sure that we can report results for some WELL defined domains,
e.g. how to improve the educational system (GNA), how to deliver stuff
remotely (WWW), how to make sure that people learn (WWW, MOO, exercices, etc
etc), etc.
Marcus [to Kaspar]: that i can understand. agreed, Kaspar.
Marcus lights a virtual cigarette...
...Thick clouds of smoke are slowly drifting through the room.
>"ok so we can consider marcus page been discussed then ?
You ask, "ok so we can consider marcus page been discussed then ?"
Marcus nods. Fine with me.
Quartz_Guest says, "Sure, if you agree."
>"ok... next year we will have a ws in some to notch first class prestige educational technology conference :)
You say, "ok... next year we will have a ws in some to notch first class
prestige educational technology conference :)"
Marcus [to Kaspar]: the DE one?
Quartz_Guest [to all]: This one is to learn how ?
Marcus asks, "I propose you add a sentence that each organizer will attempt to
write a session summary. ok?"
Marcus says, "as a transition to new shores...."
>`marcus I did not have time to look into it ....i meant for instance the thing in austria (hypermedia or so ?)
Kaspar [to Marcus]: I did not have time to look into it ....i meant for
instance the thing in austria (hypermedia or so ?)
Marcus nods.
>`yes we will do that .... write up a summary
Kaspar [to yes]: we will do that .... write up a summary
>"we can discuss ken's page now ?
You ask, "we can discuss ken's page now ?"
Quartz_Guest says, "Agred."
Marcus says, "in addition to a session which I may organize locally,at DESY.
Working on it."
Marcus thinks Ken's page could also need more substructure.
Marcus [to ken]: and contribs could be subsummed more concisely...?
Marcus says, "Is daniel's original 'classification' still valid? I may decide
*not* to comment on each contrib at all, actually. just put links (as Daniel
originally did)."
Marcus hopes this would be ok with Kaspar.

Marcus nods again. good decision.
Marcus waves but hushes the guest.
>`Quartz_Guest ... I will kill all the orginal stuff then ... moderators should moderate their stuff with their list
Kaspar [to Quartz_Guest]: ... I will kill all the orginal stuff then ...
moderators should moderate their stuff with their list
Marcus nods again.
Quartz_Guest says, "Only after we agree on a new structure? I want to add
your old stuff in because it is important."
Marcus agrees with Quartz. but kaspar's structre makes this sessino somewhat
'small'
>`ken ok, maybe what you can do also is keep both in your page ... mine rather as kind of goals and yours as questions ?
Marcus says, "meaning that i think there are more contribs lurking into it."
Kaspar [to ken]: ok, maybe what you can do also is keep both in your page ...
mine rather as kind of goals and yours as questions ?
Marcus [to Kaspar]: the same may apply to mine.
>`ken I also added name tags to the contribution page ... so you can link
Kaspar [to ken]: I also added name tags to the contribution page ... so you
can link

Kaspar [to Marcus]: yes you can do that, but maybe make it a bit shorter and
throw out/add stuff - then you could absolutly keep a flat list of questions

Marcus [to ken]: are you going to change your present page?
>`ken would be better maybe, but please edit it
Kaspar [to ken]: would be better maybe, but please edit it
Quartz_Guest [to all]: It is hard to focus with only three topics contributors
and I not a final draft.
Quartz_Guest [to all]: Last part should read 1 not a final draft.
Marcus nods
>`ken don't worry ... btw there is more than just that ... some do have things of interest ...
Kaspar [to ken]: don't worry ... btw there is more than just that ... some do
have things of interest ...
Marcus thinks Ken may well draw the majority of listeners.
Marcus [to ken]: in a tech-oriented auditory - which the conf will have.
Quartz_Guest says, "Can I just open it open by throwing out the questions or
do I still need to hwryone."
Quartz_Guest says, "I meant do I still need to highlight each significant
groups contributions."
