Online Conference Discussions
This
article doesn't go into a lot of depth, but it may provide
a nice guide for people looking to add an online discussion
element to their in-person conferences, something that is
well recommended because conferences with an online
component attract more interest and provide a richer
experience for participants. By Stephen Downes, Stephen's

Beyond Learning Objects
In this
article I discuss the idea that, in the provision of online
learning content, we ought to look beyond learning objects,
both in the sense that any digital reosurce may support
learning, and in the sense that many non-digital resources
ought also be considered learning resources. By Stephen

Yorkville University – Canada's Newest
University
This introduction announces the
formation of a new private university in New Brunswick,
Yorkville University (which sounds like it should be in
Toronto, but I digress). It's still early days for the
startup, founded in 2003, as they await New Brunswick
government approval to offer programs and degrees. The plan
is to use WebCT as the course management system and Embanet
to provide 24-hour technical assistance. By John
