Abstract: I'm a software developer at the Learning Commons, which is a service department at The University of Calgary. My current primary role is as a software developer on the Pachyderm project, but I also get to spend some time playing with new technologies to support teaching and learning - including, but not limited to weblogs, wikis, podcasting, rss, and a few others. I also spend a fair amount of time thinking (and rethinking) about the concept of control and copyright, and how they might affect academia (What happens when a professor uses a wiki? a weblog? What would be the worst case scenario if someone that wasn't a registered student in a class and session was able to access the online resources for that class?)
