The Impending End of Traditional .forward-style Forwarding

12/1/2004

I think we're in for some very interesting times as institutions begin to sort these issues out.

Oh yes: If the above scenario isn't enough to convince you that the stake is being driven into traditional .forward style forwarding, I encourage you to review Meng Weng Wong's excellent whitepaper on SPF, as available at http://spf.pobox.com/whitepaper.pdf.

Well, there's the problem - or at least part of it. The fact is that our messages are not getting through like we need them to. What are we going to do? One thing I suggested some time ago is by building more institution-wide communications tools right into integrated course management systems. Presumably the students do have to log into to their Blackboard or CTools or whatever. (See Let's Build More "Learning" into Even Basic IT Tools, June 3, 2004.) I suspect that's part of the answer, but don't claim to see an overall, integrated way through the mess yet. -Terry Calhoun
