Artificial Intelligence and Predictive Modeling: As we’ve previously pointed out, it’s hard to define what AI is, and if you accept a wide definition of AI then it has been in use in eLearning for a while. We like that idea, and we agree that you need to provide many different pricing models. Peak of Inflated Expectations.

An L3C, though, is a hybrid of an LLC and nonprofit business model, which is where an organization operates to benefit the general public without shareholders and without a profit motive. Should I start an L3C?

Instead of getting distracted by the tools and the terminologies, I focus on the four underlying themes in social media, the 4Cs of social media: Content, Collaboration, Community and Collective Intelligence. The First C: Content. As consumers and curators engage with compelling content, the content becomes the center of conversations.

The problem of course is the collapse of the traditional business model of the newspaper. In that model advertisers pay publishers enough to support the news-gathering operation because advertising in a newspaper with decent reporting was the best way to get their copy in front of readers. This is not a business model that makes sense.

Facebook’s newsfeed now acts as a major gatekeeper for news and information, leaving both news organizations and advocacy groups to guess what content will be algorithmically rewarded with a wide reach. What they actually did was far more mundane – the same type of modeling and segmentation that the Obama campaign deployed in 2008 and 2012.

In 2008, when this group was assembled, they had political backing, financial support, and an energetic approach to their work. It's hardly a model for an entirely new approach to museum design. How would you navigate the political minefields of such an endeavor? Immersive design. A mixture of chronology and thematic approaches.

To make this model work, there was another IRC backchannel that streamed audio from the conference and someone did the equivalent of live tweeting. to come out of 2008's SXSW Conference was for moderators of panels to use Twitter (or back channel tool) to poll the audience upfront and monitor it in real time.

Visitors may make inappropriate gestures in photos with museum content, thus distorting institutional values and intent. There have been several studies that show that creating a personal record of an experience and reviewing it later increases learning and retention of content. And it's not just about recall.

It’s peer reviewed (good), but it’s got a rather restrictive license, and the content is not freely available. How can we talk about promoting change when we’re not pushing this content into the commons? Is there a business model that will make this work? But then I looked deeper. I’m really not sure.
