My issues were comparing Flash to Director as a beginning Flash developer. Checked out your site here and looks like you really have your shinola together when it comes to multimedia. I've been slowly converting an old thesis project I did in Director to Flash and I've come pretty far in the first month. I'll be looking at your site for future reference.

I would like to cite two propositions he makes in the podcasts:“The direction of e-Learning in the future not as static course based resources assembled and delivered by institutions, but rather e-Learning as a dynamic, unstructured stream of learning resources, obtained and organised and for that matter created, remixed, repurposed and fed forward by learners.”“The mechanism of producing and publishing learning resources is the same mechanism as the mechanism of producing and distributing blogs and this is largely the same model that humans have when they learn things. We can create experiences using that kind of network.”(http://www.downes.ca/files/audio/yukon2.mp3) [...] […] Additions:I find that Stephen Downes’ two podcasts (2004) “New Directions in Learning (part 1)” and “New Directions in Learning (part 2)“, both appr. 1h, form an extended background for this dense lecture.He talks about the change in how we see knowledge - learning - community; he compares learning objects to objects in OOP (David Stiller explains the concept of objects for Actionscript in his blog): they have attributes, are placed in an environment, may interact; Weblogs and RSS.

My only objection would be on your definition of events. On a philosophical level I ask the question, "If a tree falls in the forest and nobody is there to hear it does it happen?" Events happen whether or not anything reacts to them or not. :) Excellent as usual. My only objection would be on your definition of events.

I want this on a t-shirt: Things the object can do are called methods; things it can react to are called events; characteristics it has are called properties.
