Last week we discussed the increase in academic plagiarism and paper mills as a possible result of the pressures of endless information. Then I read this article on automated reporting. Statsheet.com has fed sports fans scores, stats, and other [...]
Three R’s & a V
The 3 R’s, the long held foundation of teaching, are adding another letter to their crew. Looking to increase the effective communication of knowledge, several companies are shifting to visual tools and technologies. Amongst them, different approaches are beginning to emerge.

SSRN joins Twitter, Facebook, & LinkedIn
Today’s post was originally going to be a quick one describing what we are doing with “social networking” and how to follow us. It still includes instructions below, but I was reviewing my notes from Clay Shirky’s Here Comes Everybody for my AACSB presentation last week and realized a couple of fairly obvious points. First, [...]
