EEVL is a U.K.-based Internet Guide to Engineering, Mathematics and Computing. Proving that they obviously ‘get it,’ they’ve produced two new aggregation services, one for industry specific news from over 20 focused sources, and another that aggregates job postings in engineering, mathematics and computing science.

Site to support the selection of a new CMS that is still ongoing at SFU. If you dig around there’s some generally useful material – these results of a technical comparison between WebCT and Desire2Learn by B.C.’s Ministry of Education (though I’m not sure how they got it), as well as this latest progress report that contains a lot of interesting anecdotal feedback gather from various stakeholder sonsultation sessions on what they are actually looking for (short answer – ‘better’ systems that are ‘easier’ to use, look nicer, and are infinitely customizable 😉

Last month I posted a note that Mark Oehlert was asking folks interested in elearning on where they see the field going. I know at least one person took the opportunity to respond 😉
Mark presented his findings at the TechLearn 2003 conference. He shares the slides, the executive summary and a draft of the final full report. – SWL

Prompted by Alan’s generous references in his latest Blogshop to last month’s B.C. Educational Technology User’s Group online ‘blogtalk’ and his links to materials there that will soon disappear when I disable the Typepad account, I’ve posted an archived version of the site here.
Until someone tells me to take it down, this is probably the better spot to link to if you want to refer to any of that material. Note this is not all *my* material – I’m just hosting the archives, but if you link to any of the materials please make an effort to find out who the original author of the piece you are linking to was and credit them directly.

Two recent press releases from WebCT that help to illustrate the strategy the major CMS players are adopting to extend their products. In WebCT’s case the strategy is called “Powerlinks,” which I take to be roughly analogous to Blackboard’s “BuildingBlocks” initiative…

There didn’t seem to be that many ‘new’ ones here, but it seems fairly comprehensive and well researched. – SWL

The latest issues from the IEEE journal Educational Technology & Society contains this important article, a “meta-analysis of six regional analyses conducted within the framework of the European Web-edu project.” The report presents a fairly comprehensive picture of CMS/LMS uptake across Europe…

For what it’s worth, here are the feeds (displayed in the amazing Bloglines public interface) from the course management/authoring tools/eportfolio projects that I follow on Sourceforge…

I had heard about the LearnLoop project quite a while back, but apparently some folks down in New Zealand have picked it up and created this open source system based on it. Very simple, but in many cases could suffice to share basic course information, links, documents and facilitate some student interaction. WIll add it to the list. – SWL

(Last one today, I promise) From Wake Forest comes this “three-tiered career path” which seeks to distinguish the job duties of instructional technology specialists, instructional technology consultants, and instructional technology analysts. I’ve posted before on other elearning job models and it’s just nice to have this as an additional reference. – SWL
