From old notes of mine:
Principle of readiness: we learn best when we are ready to learn. Youh elp to create this readiness by letting learnes know how important the training is, why they should take it, and the benefits it should bring them.
Principle of association: proceed from the known to the new, to start with simple steps and gradually build up to the new and more difficult task.
Principle of involvement: for significant learning to occur, learners must be actively involved in the learning process. A good instructor users learner involvement tools such as hands-on training, question and answer group discussion, audiovisual aids, case problems, role playing simulations, quizzes and application exercises.
Principle of repetition: repetition aids learning, retention and recall. Application and practice are essential.
Principle of reinforcement: the more a response leads to satisfaction, the more likely it is to be learned and repeated. Accentuate the positive and break complex task down into simple steps allowing for the successful learning of one step to help motivate learning the next one.

I would like my music player (hardware or software) to allow me to tag tracks for comments and ratings. I want to be able to create my compilation of favourite tracks and to remove the songs I don’t like.
Winamp has someting like that but I am still not able to remove the file of the current song physically from the hard drive once I decided I don’t like it.
I saw the iPod has a rating system as well as iTunes: this kind of metadata information is something I want to collect, share and take with me.
Mauro Cherubini take note of three important principles when designing a presentation. I want to remember them:
[1] Legibility - distinctness that makes perception easy
[2] Readability - writing (print or handwriting) that can be easily read
[3] Clarity - free from obscurity and easy to understand; the comprehensibility of clear expression
Therefore the first level belong to the perception, the send to the presentation and the third to the content.
Thanks Mauro.

A quite enjoyable new feature added to the most famous social bookmarking service on the Web. Follow this link and click on the small ‘play’ icon to listen to music: del.icio.us/popular/system:filetype:mp3
TagWorld is a Web 2.0 application allowing you to create a blog, share your pictures, store your bookmarks, expand your friend networks. Currently in public beta status, TagWorld is free and open to everyone.
The sign-up procedure is fast and easy and without even checking your e-mail you start to add content to your personal social portal. Too bad the only part where I dedicated the most time of my trial just got wasted: the article I posted (very nice editor!) didn’t want to be saved.
Fortunately I used the very smart HTML feature of the editor, I copied the code and, after having created a new post, I pasted it in the new entry. And here is my shiny First Post on TagWorld.
All of the different areas and services are summarized and available from the Website homepage. Every section can be edited in-place. There you have a summary of your profile, with a photo if you added it; the pictures you uploaded; your blog posts and a guestbook to receive comments (it accepts HTML links).
I set-up my website at: TagWorld: Angelmax
Adding a picture was fast and easy. Every photo can be a part of a specific album and tags can be added to it.
Some small quirks:
- I wasn’t able to save my very first blog post during the initial set-up phase.
- The page layout is quite large, fitting barely a 1024 wide pixels.
- The location section is correctly reporting my city but the map is not showing it. (Rome is still to be build?)
In conclusion I liked TagWorld: fast, easy and funny to use.
Here is some other articles about TagWorld:
Minding the Planet gives a deep and futuristic speculation about the Web to come:
I believe the next big leap for the Web is what I am calling “The World Wide Database.” The World Wide Database is a globally distributed network of data records that reside on millions of nodes around the network which collectively behaves as a giant virtual, decentralized database system. Google Base is an attempt to try to build such a database on a single node. But I don’t think that approach will ultimately become the WWDB. At best it will be a huge data silo, or many silos in one place.
