Thanks for sharing this Mark,As someone whos uses a lifestream, it was an interesting read. Kudos to the professor who put this on! I'm actually surprised at how many of the students realized the potential of lifestreams. "Invaluable" and "useful" are common words in their reviews. As Damien Debarra pointed out most lifestreams can at first seems like "a car-crash of data" but he, like many others later noticed "upon slightlly closer examination shows patterns of thoughts and concern".Also thought Henry Keil made an interesting point that since "all peer learners’ Lifestreams were accessible removed the sense of isolation – reading their ponderings on course readings or their progress (or lack of it) in projects was always comforting" - which I now other students would find valuable in their own courses!
