A ways back I looked into supporting campus authentication in some apps I was brainstorming and found the information rather lacking for our campus. It was also only IIS supported at the time which made me feel a little less secure about the whole thing. They now have an apache module and are working on [...]
An article from The Chronicle about one professor’s experience using Tor on campus:
Caught in the Network
The Chronicle Review - From the issue dated February 9, 2007
But it is being used all around the world, by people in countries that restrict their access to information, by corporate whistle-blowers, and by digital-rights activists. It’s even being used [...]
I’m in the process of researching information on services to distance learners since that’s my primary job focus. I personally think there is more then plenty of room for improvement. The research seems a bit sparse as most articles focus on teaching and pedagogy over other services. What I did find is that many of [...]
There’s an interesting article in the latest EDUCAUSE Quarterly that’s available online. The article goes over the podcasting pilots at University of Michigan’s School of Dentistry.
One of the first findings was that most students seemed to prefer audio over video, which they attribute to being more portable. This is despite the students actually originally requesting [...]
Somehow I missed this one but it appears Blackboard has been awarded a patent that covers quite a bit of modern Learning Management Systems do. They have already taken legal action against Desire2Learn.
I’ve read quite a bit of Feynman’s work and I’ve enjoyed all of what I’ve read so far. His ideas and explanations can come in handy when trying to get a grip on some of the phenomenon in quantum physics. There was recent article in New Scientist that applied some of his work to the [...]
I was originally going to post more indepth but probably won’t get the time soon. There was a post over at techessence regarding library presence in online course systems, which is one of my main interests. From the post:
Distance learners in many schools can do almost everything school-related within their online courseware. Their syllabi are [...]
Both presentations are by MSU people and I’ve already listened to a talk by one of them about blogs. The first one is research which I presume is meant to eventually support the second one which is about a resource site for faculty.
An empirical test of blogging in the classroom
This presentation is the prelim findings [...]
A little late but here’s some brief comments on the second day. Again this is available online so you can see everything yourself. A couple general observations is that blogger seems to be the host of choice. This is true with some of the things I’ve seen on our campus as it is free and [...]
If you hadn’t kept track the HigherEdBlogCon started today. I wasn’t planning on writing up any notes since it’s an online conference where anyone can watch/participate, but since it matches my interests I should at least comment on the ideas. I need to post more often anyways.
There were two presentations today with the topic of [...]
Podcasting still seems to be taking off, especially in the academic worlds. I can say that I listen to podcasts quite a bit. While I still occasionally listen to audio at someone’s site it’s just convenient to have ones I like downloaded to my computer. I am one of the supposed 80% that don’t use [...]
