The Practitioner Research and Evaluation
Skills Training (PREST). The Practitioner Research and Evaluation Skills
Training (PREST) series has been published by the
Commonwealth of Learning (COL) in collaboration with the
International
Research Foundation for Open Learning. This is a
substantial resource, consisting of six core guides (with
accompanying reading resources), six handbooks, and a user
guide. Readers, in addition to the volumous instruction
offered, will find gems throughout - for example, Alan
Woodley's Doing
institutional research: the role of the partisan
guerrilla, which I hadn't seen elsewhere, along
with standard readings from people like Berge, Anderson and
Cookson. I didn't read it all, but what I did read (2 core
modules and readings, and two handbooks) was first rate.
Don't miss this resource, which will be definitive in the
field. By Various Authors, Commonwealth of Learning, June

Automated Assistance to Educators with
Intelligent Agents. Useful short presentation in PDF describing the
(future) role of intelligent agents in providing dynamic
and context-sensitive information useful to educators and
students. Not a lot of description, but enough, and names
(but no links - you'll have to Google these items) of
numerous agent and agent-type applications. By Jon-David
Knode and Steve Knode, EDUCAUSE, June, 2005
