    "Online for-profits such as American Public University System and the University of Phoenix have for years strategically steered students toward e-textbooks in an attempt to shave costs and ensure a more reliable delivery method that, in the context of online education, might seem to make more sense."

    The bigger question is how you found it now. Sorry they stripped your name out when they edited the article.

    Interesting (and off-putting) that they chose Facebook as the main communications platform. One has to join a FB group to participate. Then again, it's organized by Israelis, and FB is even more ubiquitous in Israel than in the US.
  •  
    Good point. I wonder why FB. Easy tool for adding and accessing content, if it's that widespread among their population.

    I've seen lots of DH projects that attempted to build their own independent social networks. It's an incredibly steep uphill battle.

Codify - iPad - 6 views

    How is it?
  •  
    I wish I knew -- I don't have an iPad. Looks like there's a fair bit of text entry, though; in the demo clip there's definitely an external keyboard of some kind in use. I would think that would make it pretty hard to have much fine-grained control without such a device. Still, I'd like to try it. Maybe my institution will foot for an iPad...if they do, I'll let you know. :)

Refraction - basic math concept game - 5 views

    Bend lasers, description on this site. Actual game here - http://www.kongregate.com/games/GameScience/refraction

    My 6 year old is happily playing this right now--took him about a minute to get hooked.
  •  
    I like it -- easy-to-learn core mechanic, solid progression of skills, reasonable and simple "story" frame: this is good edugaming, imo. :) As near as I can tell, this is a separate games-related unit/dept. at UW, separate from the Critical Gaming Project. Can anyone confirm? Regardless, I like to see so much ferment around games coming from one institution.
