CAREO Learning Resource Syndication Feeds - RSS After way too long, I've taken some time to re-implement the RSS feeds from CAREO. The new implementation is infinitely more scalable than previously (now uses periodically updated static files, rather than regenerated-every-time live queries). The downside of this new implementation is that you can't create your own feeds from any query. I'll add any new feeds that people want, but I preferred the personalized and on-demand nature of the previous implementation. Unfortunately, that on-demand regeneration from live queries was the achilles heal, since it caused the server to fal From D'Arcy Norman's Learning Commons Weblog on March 30, 2004 at 6:45 p.m..

Company Claims to Own Online Testing The article on the Chronicle site is behind a subscription wall, but coverage is provided on PoliTechBot. In a nutshell, a company is claiming to have obtained patents for testing over the internet. The company, Test Central Inc., says that it doesn't own patents on every sort of testing, but the patents they do hold are very broad - excessively so, say some. "It's very, very general," she (Ellen K. Waterman, director of distance learning at Regis University) says. "If you can patent anything that people do on the Web, we are not protected at all."

Don't Steal This Book The textbook industry is beginning to suffer the effects of file sharing, as evidenced in this shrill article from the Chronicle deploring this new type of 'piracy'. Actually, the copying isn't all that new - I saw Chinese reproductions of texts a good 20 years ago. It's the WTO regulations to counter copying that are new. Anyhow, the losses described in this article are, of course, wildly exaggerated, based on the fable that each book copied represents a lost sale, which is absurd. But more serious is the question of how publishers suppose they can stop this. Will they, to From OLDaily on March 30, 2004 at 4:45 p.m..
Interactive Decision Objects Interactive Decision Objects (IDOs) are "an interactive framework for decision-making," a lot like learning objects, but instead of being content (and learning) driven, they are framework driven. An IDO "is a framework for making decisions (learning is only incidental; unlike in learning objects where it is deliberate). It is interactive and encourages conversations (if a group member has a differing opinion, just move the interactive handles on the chart to view and discuss his perspective)."
