Whiteboard- possible Open Source Competitor to Blackboard?
Quote: “Whiteboard is a fully-featured and -integrated courseware system, targeted toward colleges and universities. It is written in PHP with a MySQL back-end, and is fully administrable through its web interface.” – source: [Serious Instructional Technology] Well, I will give this a proper look examination in due course through edutools, but I had a quick look [...]
Languages for the Java VM
This is pretty far off the EdTech map (probably completely off) but I wanted to include this here as it is ammunition in the ever unfolding religious debate about Java versus .NET – this page has a huge “list of programming languages for the Java virtual machine aside of Java itself.” – SWL
Web Based Learning resources library
An *extensive* organized collection of web links, articles and the like on all things ‘web learning-’ related. I can’t find out anything about the author or company that hosts the site. I wonder how things like this manage to float beneath the radar. For me, as someone who is always trying to unearth new, unfound [...]

Welcome to JudyBrown.com
When I grow up, I want to be just like Judy Brown. Judy is the “Emerging Technology Analyst in the Office of Learning and Information Technology (OLIT) at the University of Wisconsin System Administration.” Cool. “Emerging Technology Analyst,” how does one get a job like that? - SWL
Technology Based Training – an overview of authoring systems & learning management systems available in the UK
A bit dated (2001) but still a not bad source for overview info on a large number of CMS/LMSes. This is out of Technologies for Training (TfT), a “national information and advisory service, developed on behalf of the Department for Education and Employment.” I am always interested in seeing stuff from the U.K. and Europe [...]
E-Learning Standards Book Site
This is absolutely not an endorsement – I haven’t read this book and have no idea how good its contents are. But it was interesting to stumble across this (again trying to confirm Learnwise’s SCROM status). They have an extensive collection of links on e-learning standards (http://www.elearning-standards.com/links.htm) and their news page seems to draw from the [...]
Managed Learning Enviroments for Further Education Conference – Stirling University.
I found this site during the course of researching the Granada Learnwise product for edutools.info and trying to ascertain whether their claims of SCORM compliance were factual. They use different terminology in the U.K. and this site deals specifically with Managed Learning Environments (MLEs), which I take to be systems in which the CMS and [...]
Planned Obsolesence Dilbert Strip
I couldn’t resist – it’s not like any of the course management software companies act like this anyways.
