It’s Sunday night and I’m just now trying to pull together some thoughts about some things that I started reading on Friday night but have had to let wait because I had more pressing work and social engagements. Now I’m wondering how to make any sense of what is a very mixed bag of posts [...]

Derek Morrison at Auricle has posted The really really rough guide to e-Learning benchmarking in Higher Education. It’s clearly a work in progress but there is a good deal there already and some useful pointers to other sites. As he notes towards the end of the document: Because benchmarking can mean different things to different [...]

Derek Morrison at Auricle posted Innovations in the Reuse of Electronic Learning Materials – drivers and challenges, about a presentation he did in September. I’ve had it marked for reading since it first appeared but the sheer length deterred me while I had other things pressing to be done. I still haven’t done more than [...]

My email today included a TOC alert for the Journal of Interactive Learning Research 16(4). There was more than one article that looked interesting enough to be followed up when I have a few minutes but one caught my eye and demanded immediate attention: Herrington, J., Reeves, T.

ELearn Magazine has published a Stephen Downes piece titled E-learning 2.0. I didn’t notice anything particularly new as I flicked through it quickly.

Scott Wilson has been at it again, talking about Using resources in education and Architecture of virtual spaces and the future of VLEs. Both posts have minimal text and links to sizable, in the first case 8.7 MB, Powerpoint files from his presentations. There is some overlap between the two presentations and some commonality with [...]

The rate at which new tools, mostly online and free, are appearing seems to have ramped up recently. I’ve scarcely had time to register their existence and bookmark them. I’ve certainly not had time to try them all but many of them do seem to have some potential for teaching, learning and research online. Writeboard [...]
