Letter to Bloglines
(O.k., I promised the one before was my last one today, but you know… procrastination and all that) For the sake of posterity, here is the email I wrote Bloglines tech support today. I would urge others to do likewise who are experiencing the same problem. “Hi, I contacted you a few weeks back about [...]
FreeLists – Free mailing lists with RSS feeds
http://www.freelists.org (This has GOT to be my last post today! If you’ve ever wondered why my posts are so short, it isn’t because I have nothing to say Thought this would be interesting to the ‘small pieces’crowd – FreeLists.org is a free email listserving service (with no advertising and industrial strength admin controls on your [...]
EdTech Terms in Wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Managed_learning_environment EdTech bloggers may be interested to get in on the action over at wikipedia where a number of edtech terms are being defined – the above link points to the already reasonably flushed out artcle on ‘Managed learning environments‘ and there are many other related terms, including ‘learning objects‘ and ‘elearning‘ for example. I [...]
Infrae 'Railroad Repository' for Plone or Zope
http://www.infrae.com/products/railroad I am really not sure why I haven’t seen more of this, as the longer I look at the LOR problem the more sense it makes to me that ‘conventional’ repositories can be reasonably easily built on the back of existing (large and relatively stable) open source Content Management Systems.

Likely nothing new there for the old hands, but I promised James I would post it once it was done. Like everything else on this site it is posted under a [...]

For those who lament the seemingly dominant instructivist bent of current CMS this seems hardly [...]
Bloglines Problems – Seriously Concerned
http://mfeldstein.com/index.php/weblog/comments/223/ I am a huge fan of Bloglines and use it ever day (some people even claim I have an RSS ‘habit’ and need help). So I have been increasingly concerned with the weird behaviour I have seen over the past weeks in Bloglines. Specifically, I’ve noticed feed counts getting updated but the feed contents [...]
Wikiversity
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Wikiversity O.k., I admit I chuckled when I first saw this, but heck, I regularly turn to Wikipedia now for quick reference info (as does the Gurunet desktop reference app I use to check word definitions) so maybe this is one of the faces of open education to come. Not much there yet, though there [...]
