NoteMesh – another student-centric note taking service
http://www.notemesh.com/?a=home Along the same lines as stud.icio.us, which I wrote about last month, NoteMesh is driven by students and creates wikispaces for an entire class to take notes in. I actually much prefer the stu.dicio.us model, in which each student is taking their own notes but the class ‘tags’ create a collective note space, over [...]
Report on "Organization for Open Source Software"
http://www.ithaka.org/strategic-services/oss This extensive paper funded by the Mellon and Hewlitt foundations (amongst others) is an important read.

So it was with great pleasure that I stumbled on [...]
Creative Commons Images and Watermarks
Mark at eClippings recently re-posted this image from Dion Hinchcliffe. The image itself is interesting, but what struck me was that it had the Creative Commons condition icons and the source URL embedded in the image itself at the bottom. I’m calling this a watermark but I may be using the term incorrectly. When I [...]
