CRLFCRLFHere it is:
CRLFCRLFThis being my last day at work (my contract was extended by 2 months), I thought I would update you on CanCore and my other activities. Feel free to include any of this info in OLDaily, should it seem relevant:
CRLFCRLF1. Version 2.0 of the CanCore guidelines is available in both English and French: "Three years in the making, and over 200 pages in length, the 2.0 version of the CanCore Guidelines for the implementation of Learning Object Metadata (LOM) is now available at no charge. Like the current version of the LOM itself, this release promises to remain stable for long-term implementation timelines." See the:CRLF

CRLFCRLFThat ends Norm's email. For my part, I can't believe Athabasca is letting this guy go -- one wonders what other priorities they had for the same amount of money. New hedges? A glossy brochure? Same goes for my own organization - if I had access to any money I would hire him in an instant. I don't know where Norm is headed, but it had better be somewhere good.
