Yahoo! Education
Yahoo!,
Feb 20, 2002
I hadn't seen this before, but Scott Wilson at CETIS flagged the new Yahoo! Education site about a week ago. Touted as a free service (of course Yahoo! Groups moderators know better, as a fee structure has just been proposed for that 'free' service), Yahoo! Education allows educators to set up a calendar and syllabus and to upload course content. It also supports messaging and polling, features familiar to Yahoo! Groups users. Think of Blackboard from a few years ago and you essentially have the Yahoo! Education site. But - since it's Yahoo! - there is a lot they could do with content search and syndication services. I have created a test course if you would like to try it out - click here to access the course. You will be asked to register with Yahoo! if you haven't already done so - and who hasn't, really? I guess the service has been around for a while - there are dozens of courses already created.
