I quite agree the advantages and possibilities are there. I learn so much from browsing random links from articles, postings, and profiles. However as a coordinated learned strategy prequisties must be considered. There must be a social contract of sorts detailing the responsibilites and expectations if shared burdens are expected. (That is if this were to be put into place in more than in am informal setting.) If for instance if there were a large project with a defined output, Indicators and other measures need to be considered to track the right combination being produced from the dispersed workload. We have all been in a class where a group project was assigned and found that there was an inequality of effort and time placed into the project from different members of the group--free riders and all of its dilemmas. This has specific ramifications in the internet world of bookmarks. Texts on the internet are not sequential or linear. Information is clustered and require a new way of understanding and comprehending information. In this environment it is possible to read the conclusion first and the middle last, and it still needs to make sense. The coordination of bookmarks and responsibilites for information although convieniant may produce a wide distribution in what is actually learned. Do you understand the story to be the same if you read the conclusion before the introduction or only a few chapters inbetween? What is needed are self contained nodules or beads that can exist on their own but groups together could form a necklace or wider design. In other words quality control is needed for formal applications. TTFN KT
