When people ask what happened to eduSource I sometimes tell them that it became part of GLOBE, which is described in this post. It's not completely accurate (LORNet is the designated member, not eduSource, and the link points to Paloma Web at Teluq). "GLOBE aims to connect the world and unlock the 'deep web' of quality online educational resources through brokering relationships with content providers." Well fine, but how are they doing with that? The last reported meeting is 2005 and the latest version of the communications strategy - also 2005 - can only be regarded as a failure. The site at least has a link to the EdNA Learning Technology Standards Observaty RSS feed. Latest post? May, 2007. The site is nothing but wrubble. (Wrubble = Web Rubble)
