181103 -
181104 - Peter's letter providing information to obtain a live video and sound
181105 - feed of the conference, per above, ref SDS 0 5550, is very helpful,
181106 - however it would be more useful to get the text of the conference, as
181107 - reported in signing up for Doug's Colloquium on 991220. ref SDS 8 3355
181109 -  ..
181110 - On 991222 the text of Doug's Colloquium was requested again.

181113 - Stanford's representative noted the advantages of providing text, but
181114 - advised the capability does not yet exist. ref SDS 9 3908
181116 -  ..
181117 - Submitted, ref DIT 1 8268 explaining weaknesses of video conferences,
181118 - which the same as for any verbal communication that cannot maintain

181126 - Cite Kissinger's worry about inadequacy of video media as a means of
181127 - learning, from record on 940609, ref SDS 3 4238, which was mentioned
181128 - in the discussion with Adam at the Stanford Center for Professional
181129 - Development, on 991222, who seemed to concur that text has advantages
181130 - over video for learning. ref SDS 9 3908
181132 -  ..
181133 - Reviewed burden of time required to caputre what is said in a lecture
181134 - and then connect it to test for alignment that grows new knowledge, as
181135 - explained in the record on 940609, ref SDS 3 2420, and expanded on
181136 - 950204. ref SDS 4 0550

181140 -      Assessing Text and Live Lecture, Video Broadcasts
181141 -
181142 -      Clark Quinn submitted a letter, ref DRT 2 0001, arguing that live
181143 -      communication and video broadcasts can be effective for learning
181144 -      experiences particularly in certain contexts and/or for certain
181145 -      audiences.
181147 -       ..
181148 -      This does not directly address the advantages of text for
181149 -      integrating into an existing knowledge base, as represented in
181150 -      part by Clark's letter in citing text from the Welch letter.
181152 -       ..
181153 -      Clark says that streamed text would not improve upon streamed
181154 -      video, and that video or audio, can be stored and archived for
181155 -      perusal at "learner control." ref DRT 2 7979
181156 -      ..
181157 -      This overlooks that learning is largely a process of
181158 -      connecting information into patterns of cause and effect, which
181159 -      yields a predictive ability for decision making, what Kissinger
181160 -      calls "analysis" in his book Diplomacy, and noting that media
181161 -      broadcasts do not support this capability, reviewed on 940609.
181162 -      ref SDS 3 4238 and ref SDS 3 3399   Peter Drucker, also, cites
181163 -      advantage of analysis, reviewed on 931130. ref SDS 2 7911
181165 -       ..
181166 -      Clark questions Kissinger's credentials on cognitive science,
181167 -      ref DRT 2 4872, which echos Tom Landauer's comment on 960218, who
181168 -      further noted, however, that there is a large nugget of insight
181169 -      and benefit to greater reliance on text than pictures and dialog,
181170 -      to capture, shape and apply knowledge. ref SDS 5 0877
181172 -       ..
181173 -      Clark asks why people listen to the radio, and says that in
181174 -      Australia the radio is a significant aid for distance learning.
181175 -      Why, if it doesn't work? ref DRT 2 3024
181177 -       ..
181178 -      Clark cites a study showing that adding emotional entertainment
181179 -      is helpful, according to Lepper and Cordova.  They took the same
181180 -      interactive learning experience and made it CBT and into a game.
181181 -      There was improvement in outcomes for the game version.
181182 -      ref DRT 2 0988
181183 -      ..
181184 -      Emotional entertainment is helpful for learning,
181185 -      particularly in formative years when human relations and survival
181186 -      skills are acquired.  The young of higher order animals learn by
181187 -      playing, because, as Clark points out the emotional jolt
181188 -      strengthens the learning experience.
181190 -       ..
181191 -      Development of language gave humans an advantage in learning by
181192 -      enabling higher cognitive functioning for oral communication to
181193 -      convey and absorb nuanced information and instruction.
181195 -       ..
181196 -      This advantage is put to good use in lectures like the Colloquium
181197 -      at Stanford, and is evident in comparing the living stantards of
181198 -      humans with other species.
181200 -       ..
181201 -      About 700 BC alphabet technology yielded a stable system for
181202 -      representing language and internal thinking with the use of
181203 -      objects called letters, arranged according to a common set of
181204 -      rules, called grammer and punctuation.  These objects were fairly
181205 -      easy to create, and in 1455 Gutenberg created a new technolgoy
181206 -      that further reduced the cost to use alphabet technology, and
181207 -      also to preserve work product for long periods of time.
181208 -      ..
181209 -      This capability, called "literacy," entails using text, and
181210 -      it brought significant advantages in solving weaknesses of oral
181211 -      communication, that previously inhibited the growth of knowledge
181212 -      and advancement of civilization, as reported in the record on
181213 -      991108. ref SDS 7 4505
181215 -       ..
181216 -      These advantages are evident today in comparing the living
181217 -      standards for literate people with that of the illiterate.
181219 -       ..
181220 -      Again, Doctor Landauer noted this advantage on 950218.
181221 -      ref SDS 5 0897
181223 -       ..
181224 -      Text aids a higher order of learning the connections of cause and
181225 -      effect between disparate chunks of information relative to time,
181226 -      commonly called "chronology."
181227 -      ..
181228 -      Since speech is a lower level cognitive function, there is
181229 -      a strong genetic preference from 100K years of evolution to use
181230 -      this method as a first choice for learning, explained in POIMS.
181231 -      ref OF 1 1265   The New World Order... further reviews the allure
181232 -      of reliance on talking and listening. ref OF 2 2732
181234 -       ..
181235 -      Text is a newer technology; since it has only been used for 2,000
181236 -      years, it is understandably less well favored than looking and
181237 -      listening to the sights and sounds of a lecture.
