Weblogging the eLearning Producer Conference.

The eLearning Producer Conference and Expo 2003 will be held November 12-14, 2003 in San Francisco. Online registration at http://www.elearningguild.com closes November 7.

I will be at the Conference again this year. With luck, I will weblog from the conference. I say "with luck" because when I travel, my computer of choice is my trusty Psion 5MX (you laugh, but it weighs about 5 ounces and does everything I need to do on the road). In order to post from the road, the weblog will be hosted on Blogspot, at http://egconf2003.blogspot.com

My intent is to begin the weblog on November 11. I am still trying to figure out whether an XML feed is possible from Blogger, and if so, how.

Two recent press releases from WebCT that help to illustrate the strategy the major CMS players are adopting to extend their products. In WebCT's case the strategy is called "Powerlinks," which I take to be roughly analogous to Blackboard's "BuildingBlocks" initiative...

B.C. Educational Technology Users' Group archive.

Please note - this is not my stuff, but I am stashing this link for future reference.

Archive of ETUG BLogtalk Typepad site.

http://www.edtechpost.ca/blogtalk_archive/

Prompted by Alan's generous references in his latest Blogshop to last month's B.C. Educational Technology User's Group online 'blogtalk' and his links to materials there that will soon disappear when I disable the Typepad account, I've posted an archived version of the site here.

Until someone tells me to take it down, this is probably the better spot to link to if you want to refer to any of that material. Note this is not all *my* material - I'm just hosting the archives, but if you link to any of the materials please make an effort to find out who the original author of the piece you are linking to was and credit them directly.
