A (fair) while back I think I mentioned that I had put together a little project full of interviews with online teaching and learning fellows at my, ahem, place. Well, that kinda got picked up on (as these things kinda do) and the net result is the niftily titled “Contemporary Online Teaching Cases”. Basically it’s …

Googlebot at it again…
Blimey, don’t know if I’m going to make it to the end of this month in terms of bandwidth at incsub.org, Googlebot has absolutely whacked me again with 5.21 Gig of bandwidth used up already!!! Don’t really get what’s going on, had this problem a month ago too and it went away but no idea …
After due consideration… she said ‘yes’!
Well… you’ve gotta give these things some thought you know ;) It’s not going to happen for a while but I have extracted an agreement to make the love of my life the love for my life. Here’s to you Lol, here’s to our journey!
Review of multi user blogging systems – complete with little stars!
Well, time and a distinct feeling of wanting to move on has brought an abrupt halt to my overview of different multi user blogging systems with only Drupal, Movable Type, pLog, Manila, WPMU and ELGG covered… but I reckon that’s enough to be getting along with, and if people wanna add more then they can …

Congratulations to Matt
Hey, good on Matt for taking the plunge, leaving CNET and going at WordPress (in all it’s varieties) full time! As he says: “If there is ever going to be a time in my life to take big risks and reach for the brass ring, now is it.” Good call.
The joy of open source and Beblogger.com
Wonderful stuff, after literally months of headbanging about how to get ‘latest updated’ into edublogger I thought I’d take a stroll through the list of WPMU hosts at How do you MU? and see if anyone else had it working. Which led me to Beblogger.com (supported by Michele at BeFree – information technology consultant) who …

What, in particular, caught my eye are his plans for blog assessment: “For the future what I will do is invite the students to write, for themselves (individually) a …
edublogs.org – new look & where to from here…
Well, have whacked up the first draft of an edublogs.org redesign and figured that now is as good a time as any to ask what people make of it and also of where it might go in the future. At the moment I’m *fairly* comfortable with where it’s at technically – a few bugs (which …

Some more educational violence
This post by CJ, Lemmings and similar phenomena, is another in the vein of Aaron’s excellent violence posting: “With Secondary schooling we have a system which, in my view, is increasingly difficult to justify. It is a form of what might be called organised child abuse which repeats itself over and over again, year in, …
Wild vista speculation
Here’s a thought, I wonder how many trademarks and associated stuff WebCT had taken out on ‘Vista’ (given WebCT Vista) and I wonder how much that might have (if at all) impacted on the all new & far more important MS Vista OS coming round the corner, and what with MS being a big investor …
