Definitely worthwhile to keep a pulse on Dr. Bror Saxberg's work, esp. if you are interested in learning science. He is the Chief Learning Office at Kaplan and has a unique academic background (a Rhodes Scholar with MD from Harvard, PhD from MIT, Masters from Oxford, etc.) Professor Dede had also mentioned him in one of our previous lectures. Your's truly had the honor of having breakfast, one-on-one, with Dr. Bror Saxberg at his office in DC. :-) This posting talks about a beta course at Kaplan to train "learning architects" on how to build learning environments.

Good utility since many people will likely be sharing documents via Google Docs while working on projects for coursework.

OffiSync (currently in beta) allows users to access and modify Google Docs from their MS Office applications (like Word, Excel, PowerPoint). The tool requires Windows XP, Vista, or 7 and MS Office 2003 or 2007. Some errors are to be expected in the beta stage, but the benefit of conveniently editing Google Docs is worth the minor annoyances.

Hey Chris. Given all the other options we have for creating and sharing documents and information, how do you see this being most useful to you?

The 1-step migration of research content to the host document is very nice, but outside of that, I think I would be inclined to stick with google docs if for no other reason than users (and any collaborators) do not need to download an application to their computer.

November 26, 2012, 11:00 am This month Google's Niantic Labs quietly released a location-based game called Ingress that plays with data on multiple levels. The game, currently in invite-only beta, invites players to join either the Enlightenment or the Resistance and move through the physical world hunting "Exotic Matter", and coincidentally generating data and pictures for Google on the way. This looks similar to EcoMobile!

I hope more organizations create a home for failed apps. We can learn from what went wrong or consider why an option never caught on.
