This is another animation package, a bit like Pivot. Only this one is entirely online, no programmes to install and has a more graphic quality to it. You build up your shape with basic building blocks and then animate. A simple and intuitive interface and when combined with CamStudio a real winner I think.

A cautionary presentation for JISC IE and eResearch Call bidders « Silversprite - 0 views
-
Project Lanes has re-emerged on the JISC website, embedded in a presentation by Greg Newton-Ingham, another ex-eLibber who is self-employed - Greg is now doing interesting things in data mining. The re-emergence of Project Lanes is bad I get no attribution (not a problem, seriously), but good as it means Greg can take any awkward questions It is downloadable from here, and the Project Lanes part is from slides five to 21. Gosh, that was a memory trip. The rest of the slides, by Greg, are also well worth a read. “Not part of the coffee room set.” - yes, that will bring back a few “Them and us” memories to eLib project staff working in universities.

Handwriting vs Typing - Reflecting on Finland's changing policy on cursive writing - 0 views
-
Finland recently made the news for its decision to shift away from a focus on handwriting. Beginning in 2016 students will not be required tl learn cursive handwriting and instead will be taught typing skills. If this was anywhere other tan Finland the decision might be ignored or ridiculed but the Finnish Education systems reputation for producing quality learning backed by innovative practice makes this hard to ignore.
Learning or Management Systems? « Connectivism - 1 views
-
The shortcomings of these approaches rest in their lack of integration and the control required by many universities. The experience of many educators parallels my own—learners are very active with technology, but once in an LMS space, they seldom do more than the minimum required (a particular concern in courses where dialogue and theory are important to explore). This may be a function of students taking on “the student role”—defaulting to passive behaviour—once in an academic environment. It may also be due to the change in behaviour expected by educators—where learners must leave their tools behind and adopt tools with limited functionality. For an individual used to Skyping, blogging, tagging, creating podcasts, or collaboratively writing an online document, the transition to a learning management system is a step back in time (by several years).

Jon Mott recently published an article in EDUCAUSE Quarterly on Envisioning the Post-LMS Era. Jim Groom captures the reactions of individuals who have been exploring the link between learning management systems and personal learning environments. There is a sense - and I'll admit I felt it as well in reading the article - that many long-time contributors to the discussion were not referenced in the article. In theory, the review process should draw attention to important omissions of literature. However, most reviewers would likely not see the spaces (blogs) where much of the conversation happens before it jumps into mainstream as good sources. I've posted below that I wrote while at University of Manitoba addressing the LMS/PLE issue. I'm not sure how long an archive of their copy will exist, so posting it here might give it a bit more of an existence.
