Well, I have looked at Enetation and it definitely works on their news items for example. For it to work on your site or blog you need to coopy some code. I'm not sure how to get into the header bit of Blogger. I just use a template. However I have set up a test page as suggested. GoLive did not like the code by the way but it works after a fashion. The current problem I think is that I have the same name for both comments. Still maybe they are related issues so it seems you would get both streams of comment on either statement. Or send me an email, especially if you understand how to set this enetation stuff up within Blogger.

The test is at http://www.learn9.net/test1.html

Currently Enetation is free and maybe it will stay that way. Hosting by Studio 51 who seem worth checking out. The effect is that a web browser is definitely affordable. Acrobat online collaboration may be more secure, better designed, better recorded etc. but as a way to generate a document with communication between many people "enetation" has a lot going for it. Issues about how critique links to learning remain for both.

Both the Guardian and Blogger have featured 'Enetation' , apparently a way to open up weblogs for comment. I have been thinking about what is involved in the 'online collaboration' features of Acrobat. What happens when someone adds to or comments on another person's text? There may be some ideas about critique and learning that help to explain this. So far attempts to encourage people to use PDF for comments have failed. They usually prefer to add text to emails rather than open up a PDF. Maybe this is just familiarity. Maybe PDF is only suitable when a clear record is needed. The signatures are dated. Also it may suit when graphics are involved. The current UK press advertising includes a review process for a design proof. I'm going to try out some enetation now.

Since the last entry I have done quite a lot of text for IPEX and begun to get the hang of this. Maybe I did not see it before but there is now an option for adding a link so I don't have to try to remember how to put in html code.

There is another conference linked to the Management Learning Department at Lancaster. This summer it is at Cambridge 'Linking Learning and Critique'. My current critique could develop along the lines that UK academics seem not to be very interested in applied subject areas such as IT or quality.The UK trend in studies of management learning seems to be to understand fashions of 'rhetoric' rather than look for results. HoweverI should get a better understanding of how 'critical' ideas explain how learning happens. A conference next year will look at making the discussion around critical ideas more inclusive.

This is a test as I'm not sure how 'current' and 'future' work.

I am also working on a log for IPEX and it seems easy to edit a current post but the future never happens.

Now trying a few links

http://www.learn9.net

http://www.lancs.ac.uk

http://www.guardian.co.uk

Well that works better now that the html code is added by Blogger Pro.

This is a start on a sort of learning log to be linked with 'Learning with ISO 9000' , a site I have been working on.
Over the Xmas break i read that Blogger is one of the 7 wonders of the web- Guardian so it must be worth a try.
Following a 'theory in practice' conference at Lancaster I would like to try again actually using a quality system so this may develop into a structure for corrective actions. The dates of writing can't be altered apparently but no deadlines are claimed as yet.
