Tomorrow at 12 PM Eastern/ 9 AM Pacific I’ll be be hosting a Connected Courses discussion that will explore the IndieWeb movement as a people-centered response to the corporate web. How do core IndieWeb principles such as owning your content, remaining better connected, and redefining control online intersect with the values of connected learning? Take a bit of time tomorrow and join myself, Mikhail Gershovich, Ben Werdmuller, Erin Jo Richey, and Simon Thomson to find out more.
[Withknown is] the posterchild of the IndieWeb.

I’ll agree that it is pretty darn awesome!
Some slight rephrasings from Ben in the video that I thought were spot on:
IndieWeb: allowing people to connect online without caring about what platforms or services they’re using.
IndieWeb puts the learner first. The LMS, which primarily serves an administrative function, should not be the center of the process.
Wow – that’s a blast from the past. I love how once you “put stuff out there” on that there web you never know when it’s gonna be picked up again. Thanks Chris.

It’s amazing how relevant that video still remains with respect to edtech and connected courses, though a lot of the IndieWeb technologies have matured a LOT since then. Particularly some of the reader technologies that Erin Jo mentioned.
