This will interest people on other courses to see where the texts and authors also appear as part of other subjects. For example management, though I think this MOOC is definitely into practice and action learning, not just critique though critique turns up as well.

It has definitely happened however hard it is to believe. My guess is that it will do so much damage that there will be a reverse decision later. Not that the past can be recreated, just that the UK is unlikely to move from where it is on the map.

Thing is it seems to have already started, although 6th Dec is advertised. That is I have found some opening topics and links.
There is a Facebook group already ( the hotseat is free and open once you register but will probably be dormant after the week starting the 6th, not sure.

Following discussion the quote about design science is chosen for clarity and also I have got one with just the key words to explain how design science fits with other sciences. I have taken out most of the long quotes to a sheet of paper.
Also there is an alternative diagram for soft systems as I'm not sure of the scale that will work from a distance.

Previous posts have tried to connect theory about learning and quality. There is critique of quality systems as restrictive and derived from Fordism. There can also be concern that performance targets from HR detract from continuous improvement.
The situation around OFSTED might allow for discussion that related both to learning and quality.

There is a symposium coming up in Singapore about Adult Learning. Seems a good context for teaching as a design science. But I'm still not clear what is meant. This could be significant if applied to all forms of teaching.

Communication is what the show is about. It is still the case that London College of Printing is well known. The London School of Economics has managed to persuade people that it covers other subjects as well. So there is still some debate but the LCC name is there at the moment.

There are UK academics with a critique of his views, sometimes seen as too "vague". But this talk available on YouTube is interesting. It relates to sustainability and shows how this can be seen as specific to one company or to group interests.

Comments invited through SceneChat. There must be a way to avoid the ads from some events. Depends on the model. The demo of an edit from an iPad is convincing though. Together with the phones announced in Barcelona with improved video cameras this means that YouTube etc can get reasonable reporting on the same day things happen.
