Hi folks, A few words about Pinterest. My first thought was "what a peculiar name". then decided to visit the site, and look at a few pin boards. The concept seemed a bit odd at first - an online version of a physical picture-only bulletin board. When I signed up, this seemed even odder - it asked me what my preferences were regarding art, etc., and I was given built-in people's boards to follow - I didn't realize my taste in art was so avant-garde! The interface for adding ones own pictures, and re-using others (called repinning) is reasonably simple. Thanks - Ted. MORE >>

If you are reading this blog, you probably have either used Lectora or know someone who has. Lectora is an excellent courseware authoring tool, by Trivantis. have had the privilege of creating online courses using Lectora on several occasions. One nice feature (among many!) is its test building mechanism. Questions can be set up in all the standard formats (multiple-choice, true-false, fill-in-the-blank, etc.) with a variety of editing options. Multiple-choice questions, for instance, can have one or more-than-one correct answer. The above are my opinions - please feel free to submit yours. MORE >>

and the Pac 10 is now 12, and, uh, some of these may be 16 soon, and, whatever blah blah blah. Anyway, the 12 Courseware Development groups are now 10 , due to the elimination of the Twine groups by Evri, and by a lack of response from BrightFuse as to why the CwDev group was eliminated. If not already a member, please join and participate in one or more of the CwDev groups. Thanks - Ted MORE >>
