Cross post from G+ to FB & Twitter using a Chrome extension

Some blog posts on using G+ (and some other google stuff)

Gen Y students using more Web2.0 than older students but generally in passive ways e.g. reading blogs but not writing them.

Insightful post on the trends in the LMS market. It doesn't really address the potential for the demise of the LMS alongside the rise of the independent and open services that education is exploring, e.g. YouTube, WordPress, etc.

Helen Keegan on network whispers and the difficulty? of attributing online, especially in more transient media e.g. Twitter. Lots of links to follow. 

Sounds like the connection is a marketplace app, not a full part of the suite. Less inspired than possibility of G+ and hangout tech.

Keynote and invited speaker sessions from the 2011 ALT Conference, 6-8 September, 2011, Leeds.

Recordings of a session looking at Concept Maps and how to use them.

"Open Cobalt Alpha is the first step in a long term project to make available to all people a free and open source platform for constructing, accessing, and sharing virtual workspaces for research and education. This 3D multimedia wiki technology makes it easy to create deeply collaborative and hyperlinked multi-user virtual workspaces, virtual exhibit spaces, and game-based learning and training environments that run on all major software operating systems. By using a peer-based messaging protocol to reduce reliance on server infrastructures for support of basic in world interactions across many participants, Open Cobalt makes it possible for people hyperlink their virtual worlds via 3D portals to form a large distributed network of interconnected collaboration spaces. It also makes it possible for schools and other organizations to freely set up their own networks of public and private 3D virtual workspaces that feature integrated web browsing, voice chat, text chat, and access to remote desktop applications and services."

Hey guys. Just watched a live session online at Cisco w the developers of this system, still in development, but interesting differentiators vs 2Life, e.g. peer-to-peer, nested worlds, oh and its open-source. Thought yaz might be interested in tracking it.

Lots of Moodle resources on a demo Moodle site. e.g. Google, Skype, flash
