Making the Case for a Wiki. You want a wiki to play with, but how do you
make the case for the negligible cost and and server space
that one would entail? The author offers three use cases:
as a lab book, for collaborative writing, and as a
knowledge base (Brian kelly adds, in an other article in
the same journal,
using a wiki to take
notes at a workshop. She also provides a grid
comparing nine wiki software packages written in different
langauges, allowing readers to pick their preference (this
list is not complete, though - and the wiki I ultimately
chose, the Erfurt Wiki, is at least as good as any of
them). By Emma Tonkin, Ariadne, January, 2005

Course Management Systems and Copyright.
(2/1/05) Fair use may not be what you expect. Simple, clean, concise
rules do not exist in the law of fair use. For example: Do not assume
that a nonprofit, educational use is inherently fair use. Do not assume
that giving credit for the source of the work inherently creates a fair
use. Do not assume that limiting access tomaterials to students in the
class inherently creates a fair use. On the other hand, proper
application of fair use can prove to be extremely beneficial to the
instructor, the students, and the educational process as a whole. [EduTools News: Course Management Systems]

Seminars via blog (MANE IT Network).
...a group of faculty from multiple institutions conducted a seminar on
a current literary figure. It's structured as a group of coordinated
blog posts on the Crooked Timber academic mega-blog, and includes a
response by the author. Comments abound. A big archive of the whole
thing is downloadable as a single file. It's as open as can be,
accessible to all readers on the Web, and published under a Creative
Commons license. [Edubloggers Links Feed]

MountainRise: the scholarship of teaching and learning. This new electronic journal includes both computer-aided instruction and distance learning. " MountainRise
is an open, peer-reviewed, international electronic journal published
twice a year by the Coulter Faculty Center for Excellence in Teaching
& Learning at Western Carolina University for the purpose of being
an international vehicle for the Scholarship of Teaching & Learning
(SoTL). By applying scholarly methodologies to the processes of
teaching and learning, making that reflection and research public and
open to critique, and thereby enabling a body of knowledge to develop,
be reviewed and revised, the intellectual foundation, vision and
practice of teaching are emphasized and enhanced. Such scholarship can
be an important way to stimulate a new renaissance of teaching &
learning for the betterment and enjoyment of all involved in the
educational process, thereby expressing why the scholarship of teaching
& learning is a legitimate form of scholarship and why teaching
& learning scholarship could be a significant factor in making
exploration and excellence of teaching and learning a keystone of
academic cultures." I saw an announcement about this journal in DEOS-L
and want to pass it on. _____JH [EduResources Weblog--Higher Education Resources Online]

BlogTrace. Lilia Efimova shares
this link to Blog Trace, an application that analyzes blog
posts for vocabulary and interaction. A diagram of the
application is provided. Interesting, though I haven't been
able to look at it in detail. By Anjo Anjewierden, Anjo
