Notes de l'éditeur
- In addition to the simple URLs from services like myopenid.com, it is trivial to modify a blog or other web page to act as the referring URL. e.g. <link rel=&quot;openid.server&quot; href=&quot; http:// e dtechpost.myopenid.com&quot;> <link rel=&quot;openid.delegate&quot; href=&quot; http://w ww.edtechpost.ca/wordpress/&quot;> Cf http://simonwillison.net/2006/Dec/19/openid/
- e.g. technorati, WordPress.com, 37Signals, Digg.com, wikispaces.com
- if we are going to take advantage of the ongoing innovation that is occuring out there on the web and not continue to become increasingly technology ghettos, we need to adopt authentication and single sign-on solutions that will allow students to use these new technologies in their scholastic life in a way that the institution can live with.
- increasingly students will be showing up with already existing online identities that function perfectly well. we need to be adopting solutions which span across the phases and institutions in which they will participate, especially if we want to do more than just lip service to the idea of life long learning
- The BIGGER framing here is around the shift in what we need to provide students with upon graduation - it's not that guaranteeing their credentials is not important. Credentials aren't going to disappear. But alongside them, in increasing importance, students will need to graduate with demonstrable skills, work product, AND an existing online social and intellectual network on which they can build and which is more contiguous with their campus life. OpenID is important not so much as a specific authentication practice but in how it speaks to the larger need for online identity that is controlled by the user and which they can choose (or not) to span the myriad facets and periods of their online life.
- turn your directory service or web hosting services into OpenID providers so that an authenticated source on campus also turns into an identity that users can use with 3rd party services on the internet in a secure way. e.g. ‘comments’ – while accounts of some sort are a good way to prevent spam, do we really need people to create a new system account to, say, leave a comment on an institutional repository record? Thesis archive?
