Aaron's Radio Experiment
“Everything you need to know to connect Radio and Zope via XML-RPC can be found at these three links:” Apologies for all of these blog-tool type posts, I am working on the site infrastructure itself and so it reverts back to its original role as my online knowledge base as I find new things I [...]
Copernic Summarizer
Another tool in the endless battle to deal with the ever growing mass of information we deal with daily. This product uses “sophisticated statistical and linguistic algorithms, [to] pinpoint the key concepts and extract the most relevant sentences, resulting in a summary that is a shorter, condensed version of the original text.” It will be interesting [...]
Radio Userland Community Tools Directory : Master Tool Directory
I’ve been using Radio8 since last August, and if I have any complaint about the tool it’s the fact that you end up spending more time searching for documentation than you do actually using it. It desperately needs one central place in which links to all relevant documents, and links to all 3rd party tools, [...]
OpenCourse
http://opencourse.net/home/ Yet another open source course management system I’ve recently come across. It is not in fact just chance that all of these are sprinning up on my list – I am actively looking for more right now to review on edutools. – SWL
Merlin Learning Environment
http://www.hull.ac.uk/merlin/ Not clear that this has been released to the public or for internal use only, but another ‘virtual learning environment’ from the U.K., this time from the Univeristy of Hull. – SWL
e-Tutor open source CMS
http://etutor.sourceforge.net/ And yet another open source CMS found by following the paths laid out in some of the last posts, this one through the University of Ottawa. Not quite out of beta, but it appears to be actively under development and have some institutional support, which is always promising. – SWL
More OpenSource (or free) CMSes.
I have no idea why, but the post by Elizabeth Lawley a few weeks back bemoaning the state of CMSes and stating her desire for an open source option seemed to bring responses from every direction. This one contains a host of options, most of which were familiar but there were a few new ones. Spaghettilearning.com – out of [...]
H2O Project
http://h2oproject.law.harvard.edu/index.html Another open source CMS-type system, this time from Harvard Law School. – SWL – via [this post at SeriousInstructionaTechnology]
BlogStreet Visual Neighborhood – powered by TouchGraph
http://www.blogstreet.com/blogsqlbin/visualneighborhood.pl? url=http://www.island.net/~leslies/blog/&first=2 Apparently this is my ‘visual neighborhood’ according to BlogStreet. While some of these seem right on, a few leave me puzzled. – SWL
e-Learning Centre
http://www.e-learningcentre.co.uk/eclipse/default.htm This is “an information resource website for e-learning aimed at educators and training professionals.” I love finding sites like this from other countries – this one is from the U.K. – as they do truly have a different perspective on this field and you find all sorts of interesting links and products in here [...]
