Via the Berkman Center ... This September, Harvard Law School's Berkman Center for Internet & Society will launch H2O Playlists -- a new tool for finding academic content through people you trust. H2O Playlists are a series of recommended books, articles, media, or blogs that collectively inform users on a subject, lecture, course, or current event. H2O Playlist is a series of links to books, articles, and other materials that collectively explore an idea or set the stage for a course, discussion, or current event. H20 playlists is one tool in the project.
Here's some of the functionality:
- transform traditional syllabi into interactive, global learning tools
- share the reading lists of world-renowned scholars, organizations, and cultural leaders
- let interested people subscribe to playlist updates and stay current on their fields
- promote an exchange of ideas and expertise among professors, students, and researchers communicate and aggregate knowledge -- online and offline.
The beta lets you easily set up an account and create your own playlist. Here's a playlist about What Inspires H20 Philosophy (an excellent set of resources on tagging, socialbookmarking, and others ...) So, played with the beta version and developed a playlist for nptech tag. I was trying to make some order out of all the various distributed posts about this project -- so I found the reordering features a little inefficient to use. If I already had a course outline, this wouldn't be a problem.
