OLDaily
Google has found another way to collect information by offering a free service to customers: Google Analytics tracks visitors to your web site and offers a range of statistics and analysis. Good reviews thus far; I haven't tried it myself yet, though. No support for RSS analytics. [Tags:

This is interesting. SSE - Simple Sharing Extension - allows for the use of RSS by applications. "For example, SSE could be used to share your work calendar with your spouse. If your calendar were published to an SSE feed, changes to your work calendar could be replicated to your spouse’s calendar, and vice versa." Neat - I'm going to havew to look into this in more detail. Via Albert Delgado. [Tags: None] [

The story is in the diagram at the top of the page: RSS in 2003 it was blogs and RSS, that's it. In 2005 it's blogs, podcasts, watchlists and much more all riding on the RSS platform. A positive development in my view. Via Alberta Delgado. [Tags:

This is interesting. "MarcoPolo's resources, available online at no charge to teachers throughout the United States and around the world, are -- for the first time ever -- now aligned in New York not only at the state standards level, but also at the performance indicator level." Marco Polo has been around, it seems, forever - I
reviewed them in Technology Source in 2000, but they haven't had much of an impact since. This may be changing. [Tags:

I guess I hadn't really seen that there was a debate between ELGG and Moodle, and so I guess the whole issue passed me by. But Scott Leslie takes up the matter, and resolves it by putting things the way they should be: there is no dichotomy. By way of Terry Anderson: "what is exciting for me is that Terry and Athabasca are putting together a large, production environment in which Moodle and ELGG will seemingly co-exist quite nicely, thank you very much, and take care of different problems."

Fun rubric, the full title of which I cannot relate without triggering spam filters (I really wish this whole train of thought had received a different appellation). [Tags:

I want and visualize and aspire toward a system of society and learning where each person is able to rise to his or her fullest potential without social or financial encumberance, where they may express themselves fully and without reservation through art, writing, athletics, invention, or even through their avocations or lifestyle.
Where they are able to form networks of meaningful and rewarding relationships with their peers,
with people who share the same interests or hobbies, the same political or religious affiliations - or different
interests or affiliations, as the case may be.
This to me is a society where knowledge and learning are public goods, freely created and shared,
not hoarded or withheld in order to extract wealth or influence.
This is what I aspire toward, this is what I work toward. - Stephen Downes
