Transformers: more than meets the eye

January 11, 2008 | Filed under: General

Some good discussions this week among the CMOC team (the fightin’ Sea Moccasins of CMOC, I like to call us) about what a transformed learner iGuide might look like. This is a fun part of any project like this: we get to open our minds, talk about possbilities, brainstorm new ways of doing things.  Of course, as we put together real plans and start the noble work of actually making this happen, we’ll be constrained by those darn realities (pesky things like “technology,” “budget,” “integration with other systems,” and the “fundamental laws of physics”), but at this point, I’m encouraging everyone to shake off their mental shackles and dream.  What are the characteristics of a transformed iGuide?  What sites already do what we want to do?  Who should we imitate? Who should we do the exact opposite of? I welcome thoughts from anyone on these topics.

Also: this week I presented an iGuide Transformation overview to the larger Next Generation Learning department.  It was quite well received. (At least I think it was; I never am quite sure how a conference room full of people is perceiving what I’m saying.) I’ll be doing more of this for other departments in the next few weeks. If anyone reading this has suggestions for how I can improve this presentation or for other things I should do to tell the tale of a transformed iGuide, you know where to reach me: here.
