The original product, Disconnect, was created by a former engineer at Google and its subsidiary, DoubleClick, Brian Kennish, and a former consumer rights advocate, Casey Oppenheim. It shows users the invisible sites that track their actions on the web and blocks them. According to Kennish, it not only cuts the advertising umbilical cord, but it also reduces the use of bandwidth and increases browser speeds by as much as 27 per cent. A more recent product, Disconnect Search, essentially makes your search terms anonymous.
"A research study was carried out at PROCAT to investigate students' expectations and experiences when using technology at college. You can read the research report here. The E-Zine below is a further resource, which follows on from the research report. It provides 20 key messages for Instructors, which summarises feedback direct from PROCAT Students on how to engage learners.
The magazine provides a useful checklist for teaching staff and is a resource they can keep referring to for ideas and to check they are on track.
You will need flash to be installed to view the e-zine."
