New IMS Specification Download Pages and License
http://www.imsglobal.org/specificationdownload.cfm IMS has a re-designed website, and a fairly unwelcomed addition to getting access to the specification documents. As they state on the individual specification pages “HTML documents may be viewed online, but may not be printed without permission. To download an electronic copy for printing, please go to the specification download page.” I guess [...]
CETIS 'Interoperability in Action' Video
http://www.x4l.org/video/index.shtml Derek Morrison at Auricle points to this video from CETIS called ‘Interoperability in Action’ which is well worth a watch. It takes you through a step by step scenario of a user adding an object to the Intrallect Intralibrary-driven JORUM repository, and then a second user accessing that object, extending an existing course, and [...]
UThink's Blog Directory Page
http://blog.lib.umn.edu/ (then follow the ‘Blog Directory’ link – for whatever reason, MT is gawking on the actual URL) You’ve likely seen the UThink site before, the University of Minnesota’s MoveableType-based blogging site. But I wanted to point out the ‘Blog Directory’ sub-page on that site for the little things it does right to direct new [...]
EASE History Campaign Ads
http://www.easehistory.org One thing I love about publishing this blog is that (along with all the spam) it brings in scores of unsolicited pointers to really great educational resources. The latest one, sent in by Aparna Ramchandran, points to an amazingly timely site from Michigan State University that allows students to learn about US history, presidential [...]

This [...]
Next Generation Foundation's 'Map of Creativity'
http://www.ngf.org.uk/map/map.html While you will likely find some useful educational sites through this Flash-based app, I’m pointing to it more because of the very nifty interface. It may seem disconcerting at first, but stick with it for a few more seconds. Mousing over the filters on the right-hand side will let you actually see how many [...]
Using Emergent Classification as a Starting (Not End) Point
http://www.adaptivepath.com/publications/essays/ From elearningpost comes mention of this useful article by Peter Merholz (some may remember him from ‘peterme‘ days, one of my earliest regular blog reads). D’Arcy, King and I had been trading emails a few weeks back on the value of emergent classifications systems like those seen in Flickr for use in learning object [...]
The r.smart group
http://www.rsmart.com/index.php Another startup supporting specifically open source educational applications, this one based in Phoenix. Their initial offering is around the Open Source Portfolio Initiative product, but they promise to expand this to include uPortal and Sakai support. – SWL
Should this need attribution?
http://www.xplana.com/newsletter/newsletter.php I stumbled across this newsletter from the folks at Xplana through my referrer logs (apparently they are also a CMS company in addition to producing the Xplana blog). If you go through the section titled ‘Useful Research’ you’ll find many posts you have already read before, from many edtech blogs you read. Some of [...]
