My previous posts "Academic Discussion Lists: Faculty Lounges,
Short-Term Working Memories, or Academic Journals?" [Hake (2009a,b)]
received near zero response.
I infer that most subscribers to Academic Discussion Lists prefer
posts that convey the casual conversation of a faculty lounge rather
than the academic formality appropriate to the enhancement of a
collective short-term working memory.
Since denizens of the Blogosphere may be more enthusiastic about
upgrading a collective short-term working memory, I've placed a
considerably improved version [Hake (2009a) of my previous posts on
my blog at
<http://hakesedstuff.blogspot.com/2009/05/academic-discussion-lists-faculty.html>.
Since there's provision for comments at that site, I'd be very
interested in any input thereon regarding, e.g.:
(a) the preferred nature of academic discussion lists, and/or
(b) my curmudgeonly list of perceived weaknesses of the ADLsphere.
