On August 5, while reviewing my students’ papers in their blogs on one screen, a fascinating TECADV-L discussion on “tools for online advising” was occurring on the second screen. I left the papers for a while to read some of the messages and to post one of my own. The version below is pretty much [...]

Beijing Olympics – live, streaming, free. Go to NBCOlympics.com, download the driver (Silverlight.2.0.exe), and you’re in. Just watched the last quarter of the US men beating Yao Ming and the Chinese team, 101-70.
The sign-up also asks for your zip code and local TV provider — not sure why they need the latter since the broadcast [...]

Chat Room. I posted an announcement in the class blog this evening, inviting students to use the chat room. The idea is that I’d “sit” in the room from time to time, especially when the forum traffic is heavy, to give students an opportunity to drop in and chat. When they see an icon in [...]

I can see why Sheldon Tawata has been raving about Laulima, Kapi`olani Community College’s version of the open source Sakai Collaboration and Learning Environment for Education.
