SUNY Learning Networks Stakeholder Feedback on their Technology Strategy Report.
http://le.suny.edu/sln/sln_rpc_publicresponse.htm In June of 2005 I pointed to SUNY’s Recommendations on their Learning Network’s Next Generation Strategy, which had been published on the web. If you follow Michael Feldstein’s blog e-Literate (and you should) you’ll also have noted that in October of last year SUNY announced its plans to build an open source ‘Learning Management [...]
The only post you'll ever see me write about podcasts
http://accidentalpedagogy.typepad.com/accidental_pedagogy/ 2006/03/do_students_act.html Glenda Morgan points to an article which questions the moniker of ‘podcasts,’ as apparently 80% of downloaded recordings never make it off the desktop and onto a mobile device (or worse, are never listened to at all). I think ‘personal publishing’ is a great thing, whether it be blogs, wikis, podcasts, videocasts, etc. [...]
Downes Hiatus FAQ
http://www.downes.ca/hiatusfaq.htm Just had to chuckle at this – given Stephen’s readership I can easily understand the need for this, as his abrupt announcement likely triggered an avalanche of concerned emails, but I’m not sure that Gandalf issued an FAQ (this now being my new mantra, not “What would Sun Ra do?” but instead “What would [...]
Postgenomic – Life Science Community Aggregator and Review Engine
http://www.postgenomic.com/ Scott Wilson’s recent presentation on “SOA and web 2.0 things” is well worth it even for you grizzled remix veterans of the blogosphere, if only for the most succinct and helpful explanation of the e-Framework I’ve yet to read (“A collaborative effort by JISC, DEST, SURF, NZ MoE and others to make sense of [...]
LMS Rubric from CSU, Chico
http://www.csuchico.edu/tlp/LMS2/ This looks to be almost a year old, but I can’t remember seeing it before – Glenda Morgan refers us to this rubric for evaluating CMS that was developed by CSU Chico in selecting their “next generation LMS.” This was pre-behemoth – I wonder how they feel now abouttheir choice of Vista 4? – [...]
Database of JISC-funded / ELF-related projects
http://elrond.cetis.ac.uk/projects/index.php We don’t really have a national-level funding body for higher ed in Canada – education is considered a provincial jurisdiction, and while there are a few bodies that have tried to help coordinate activites at a national level, in truth it is hard not to look on with envy at our commonwealth cousins in [...]
Reports from Collaborative Moodle Pilot in BC
http://molokai.ol.mala.bc.ca/moodle_doc/index.html As the original home of WebCT, it is not perhaps a big surprise that it is the most widely adopted CMS in the province of BC, where I live and work. And while that doesn’t look set to change anytime soon on a large scale, 6 institutions have done pioneering working to investigate the [...]
LMSNews – Reviews of 4 Open Source CMS
http://www.lmsnews.com/modules/content/index.php?id=15 Although the majority of the site appears to be in German, they do have 4 reviews on the open source course management systems Claroline 1.7.0, Interact 2.0, LON-CAPA 2.0.2 and StudIP. They seem highly anecdotal, but also honest about the ease (or lack of) installing and administering some of these tools. – SWL
Group-specific Tagclouds in Academic Portals
http://webtools.allegheny.edu/gnosh/ So the other gem for me from Bryan’s Educause article was the above Gnosh from Allegheny College. Actually, I’m not sure that it was this tool that excited so much as the idea it inspired. One of the things that has always bugged me about broad tagclouds like the one on del.icio.us or flickr [...]
Rollyo – Search all major Course Management System Sites
http://rollyo.com/sleslie/course_management_systems/ I knew I had to read Bryan Alexander’s Educause article on Web 2.0 not so much because the ideas would be new but because I knew that inevitably Bryan would point to some little gem in the ever growing Web 2.0 landscape that I hadn’t seen before. One that was new to me that [...]
