Saw Tim Bray's talk on the visualisation of information.  It was  good in that it went over some of the important basics about information visualisation, but could have been a bit more concise.  We also saw a demo of WebBrain(a competitors product), which looks like it could be a good way to tie together the concepts in the lab manual.

Last day did an overview of JW project.   We love how their project takes a series of tasks and formalises them into a weekly agenda.  We have many resources included in our own project and need the framework to put them together like that.

I also quickly demoed Frontier (which I had used to put together the brief Concept Mapping authorware module help) to point out that the final appearance was easy to change - and that the content could live in a database.
