I saw this yesterday, and I make a note of it here because I have used assembling Ikea furniture as an analogy for the way girls in DGD have learned the logic of coding.

And because I think that somebody somewhere should have established a world flatpack championship years ago. And I can’t believe that they didn’t.

The recent elections in Britain led to the usual cries about the iniquitous nature of the first-past-the-post system. I had thought about proportional representation myself when Finland had its local elections last month.

At that point I looked up the system that Finland uses: the D’Hondt method. This proved more interesting than I had originally suspected.

This paper describes a way of working with teaching in a field like new media; a method of teaching in a fast evolving field, where people more and more must teach themselves in order to keep up with the development in the techniques and trends. The paper outlines a course held in the autumn of 2003 in Arcada a Swedish speaking polytechnic in Finland. The aim of the course was to use a virtual world as a teaching aid for introducing concepts of brand management to media students.
