Themes of John’s work (and mine)
The once (and future?) model for education
In the pre-industrial era, education and work were:
Observable
Connected
In the post-industrial era, they are:
Not observable
Not connected
Walter Lewin’s Physics 8.02
Now teaching is observable and connected.
Good!
How can we observe learning and work?
How can we connect with learners and workers?
What is it like to be:
A physicist?
An engineer?
A nurse?
And what about work?But what about learning?
What is it like to be:
A physics student?
A engineering student?
A nursing student?
Observable education: Theory
“What if course portals, typically little more than gateways to course activities and materials, became instead course catalysts: open, dynamic representations of ‘engagement streams’ that demonstrate and encourage deep learning?” Gardner Campbell
Observable education: Practice

Hopefully it’s helpful to you, but I know that there are folks out there with some real skill at diagnosing application performance issues, and there are better debugging tools available, too. How would you go about diagnosing something like this?

Why do software people work observably? (1)
We created, and are comfortable with, the technologies of observable work:
Web publishing
Blogging
Microblogging
Digital video
Publish/subscribe networks
Why do software people work observably? (2)
Our work processes, and products, are fully digital:
Design discussion
Source code
Documentation
Tests
The actual software itself
Why do software people work observably? (3)
We practice, and value:
Feedback
Iterative refinement
Testable outcomes
Why don’t (most) academics work observably?
Work processes and products only recently network-observable
Medieval publishing, peer review, reward systems
“I wouldn't want to publish a half-baked idea”
Exception to the rule: Jean-Claude Bradley
Why don’t (most) professionals work observably?
Work processes and products only recently network-observable
No culture of publication, narration
“I’m too busy to blog”
Exception to the rule: John Halamka
