First, a comment about this site
You are currently looking at the "Vision" page. The "Mission" page will describe my plan/goal to find, collect and organize ideas, information and strategies about LifeWork Planner (LWP). I will talk to both my vision and the mission in my LifeWork Planner blog. (Please RSS feed it.) I will talk generally about LWP and the underlying application (Dave and Ben's "learning landscape") in the ERADC bulletin board.
The "Passion" page contains a listing of important blogs, forums, websites, and pdfs that relate to my vision. Often they suggest new ideas and re-energize me, if I need it. The "Action" page will list "What's next?". A pdf document entitled "ERADC Functional Specification" will be developed for the "learning landscape" and LWP. And the Index page will contain an alphabetical listing of all the key items presented in this site.
Second, a comment about the name LifeWork Planner (LWP)
I envision an application (just as Dave and Ben have described in their "learning landscape" pdf, vision) that seamlessly integrates ePortfolios, web logs (blogs)and social networks, but goes beyond the education and career landscape (is more about all the important particles in our lives), and is more comprehensive than the word "ePortfolios". At the moment, I call that application LWP (LifeWork Planner).
The Vision
Imagine this. I have an idea. I go to my computer and start composing it into my blog. And while a background application is checking my syntax and spelling and highlighting errors for me to correct, another application is assembling something far more important and powerful. It is taking ever significant keyword and phrase I have written in this journal entry, merging it with all previously related journal entries and my life-profile (e-portfolio, career plan, etc.), and creating a search-string that I can use to (one-click) search the web for ALL related ideas, resources and people.
Reflection, engagement, deep learning, collaboration, work (job) matching and finding new friends are only a few of the obvious benefits.
Focuses:
Dave and Ben focus on “(user) student engagement”, which is one of the VERY critical issues in this endeavor. LWP will fail if a user is not engaged.
My focus is on ...
- how a semantic network (keywords / "social network interests") (like FOAF and LiveJournal, and most recently TypePad's [sub-]catgories and Zopto's interface with FOAF) gets built and will work to trigger meaningful connections between like-minded users,
- how (architecture wise) to integrate the career plan into the "e-portfolio" and the career planning process into the e-portfolio, blogs and social network.
Discuss this vision in the "Vision(s)" forum in ERADC (ePortfolio Research and Development Community) discussion board).
RSS feeds:
Until I can add more details and other RSS feed-readers, to set up a blog as an RSS feed to Yahoo's "My Front page" please do the following:
- COPY a link to something that has an RSS fed. If you don't know of one right now, use this link (to my blog) ... http://petehubbard.typepad.com

- Click on "Choose Content", then
- Under "My Yahoo Essential" click box "RSS Headlines (BETA)"
- Click "Finish", then
- Go to bottom of "My Front Page", find "RSS Headlines" and click on "Edit"
- PASTE my blog link into the Search box, and click search, then
- Click on Add, then
