| Page 1 of 1 | Previous | Next | COURSEWARE DEVELOPMENT OCTOBER 12, 2009 Jammed Garbage Disposal You may be asking, what does a jammed garbage disposal have to do with eLearning? Well, folks, we had just bought a new disposal a couple of years ago, and a narrow glass bottle fell into the darn thang, and it jammed, so instead of calling the plumber (or even the store I bought it from), I consulted the Internet ( the "e" part ) and Googled "jammed garbage disposal" for solutions ( the "Learning" part ). Found this link - this in effect was the courseware. Problem - I didn't have the correct size Allen wrench to do this. Then it budged a little. Then a bit more. | COURSEWARE DEVELOPMENT OCTOBER 23, 2009 pcLearning4U is Open for Business To my loyal readers, and anybody else who hath stumbled upon this blog: As part of my efforts to learn more about learning (and to obtain additional dirty filthy lucre, moolah, dinero, etc.), I have founded pcLearning4U , a new company dedicated to bringing individual personal computer instruction to Richmond, VA people of every age. Instruction topics include computer basics, introduction to MS-Office products, and uses of social media, among others. Please visit the pcLearning4U Site for more information.

| COURSEWARE DEVELOPMENT DECEMBER 14, 2009 Blog Enhancements To my readers, I've added a couple of enhancements to this blog: Quote of the Day , from The Free Dictionary : This is their daily quotation (appears at right of this blog under my LinkedIn Profile). There are other pieces of code on this site that can be added to a website/blog (games, word exercises, etc.) - look under Webmasters for Free Content. Followers - this blog can now be followed via Google Friend Connect (appears at right of this blog under the Quote of the Day). Thanks, Manishankar !! | COURSEWARE DEVELOPMENT MAY 31, 2010 IT4ALL On August 2009, IT-END started offering Moodle for Teachers (M4T) workshops and took on a new look and name: Integrating Technology for Active Lifelong Learning (IT4ALL). OK, folks, enough with the gloom and doom already. IT4ALL (Integrating Technology for Active Lifelong Learning) has moved off of Ning (presumably due to pricing issues) and now has its own site ! From the About page: IT4ALL website was established on November 22, 2006 as an open and not-for-profit website. The workshops are run by experienced online facilitators who volunteer their services. Thanks, Nellie! | COURSEWARE DEVELOPMENT NOVEMBER 30, 2009 Twitter eLearning List To all Twitter Users : Twitter now has lists, which are in effect subgroups of your followers that you set up for a particular reason (and a follower can be assigned to more than one list). Lists can be public (and can be followed as if they are Twitter users themselves), or kept private. For example - I set up a public list that shows the Tweets of my followers (people and companies) who are interested in eLearning: @tedkopp/elearning Please feel free to follow the list and/or me - if you do follow me, and are interested in eLearning, I'll add you to the list! | COURSEWARE DEVELOPMENT NOVEMBER 3, 2009 It's the Latest, it's the Greatest, it's the. LearningExpress Library ! If you are a member of your local public library, you may have free access to LearningExpress. This site has a lot of online training, in diverse subjects such as courses for students (elementary school through college), MS-Office products (2003 and 2007), job search help, even US Citizenship preparation! One glitch that they are supposedly going to fix - you can't save your place in the MS-Office courses, so you need to keep track of your own progress. Otherwise, these courses seem very comprehensive. | | | | | | | |

COURSEWARE DEVELOPMENT | FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 2009 Domo Schola Doctrina Gratis
Heck, no - I just want to call your attention to a very interesting article in Popular Science 's September 2009 issue: Home Schooled - Free University The author, Josh Dean, attempts to craft his own curriculum based on the online offerings of several universities (including one you may have heard of, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology) and other sources. Yo, has your favorite blogger gone way around the bend? He "went" to his "college" for a month. Among other things, Dean describes MIT's OpenCourseWare program, which offers over 1800 courses online, for free, not for credit. MORE >> -
COURSEWARE DEVELOPMENT | WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 5, 2009 The Malware Warning is GONE
As some of you may know, any attempt to link to this blog during the last week was met with a redirect to a Malware Message page. After much frustration, including requests for help on Twitter, LinkedIn, etc., it finally dawned on me to do the following: The malware message page included an option to check a box to proceed anyway, at my own risk. In no way am I recommending that you do so in a similar circumstance (this is completely up to you), however, since I have very good confidence in my security software, I took the chance. All is working OK now - yay! MORE >> -
