Do you have experience with Moodle or with Drupal? Can you write?I am looking for a couple of articles: Moodle, Drupal. These are for publication in early 2006. As you may know, my "day job" is editing Learning Solutions e-Magazine, the weekly online publication of The eLearning Guild. Circulation of Learning Solutions is to members of the Guild only, but we estimate that each issue gets "passed around" to as many as 10,000 professionals and decision-makers in the e-Learning field. In the past, we have published several articles on LMS and CMS, all of them commercial. I have been hoping in vain for queries offering previously unpublished articles addressing Moodle, and the e-Learning uses of Drupal. These small but significant open-source solutions may be better positioned now that Blackboard and WebCT are tying the knot (hangman's knot for WebCT, apparently). See the information on Learning Solutions, and our Author Guidelines, at http://www.elearningguild.com/pbuild/linkbuilder.cfm?selection=doc.137. PLEASE NOTE: 1. I will not accept queries from agents, PR firms, freelance writers, or marketing staff. Our policy is to publish articles by e-Learning practitioners only, and to deal directly with authors only. Queries from anyone else go into the Editorial Black Hole. 2. We accept only previously unpublished articles. Period. However, if you submit a different angle on previously published content, we will consider it. Please see item 3, next, before you hit "send." 3. Please query first. Do not send a completed manuscript unless I ask you for one. The link above connects to a very complete explanation of "query." Queries longer than a single printed page (12 pt. Times Roman) will also likely go into the Black Hole. We have a very tiny editorial staff, and both of us have lives outside of work. What we can't read quickly doesn't get read. We do offer a paid-up membership for the first article we accept from an author, and a (very) small stipend for each article after the first. Details and my contact information are at http://www.elearningguild.com/pbuild/linkbuilder.cfm?selection=doc.137. Best regards, Bill Brandon, Editor 2:19:06 PM

E-Learning in the New University - Tom Abeles, e-mentor. The University has been changing, only slowly. The advent of the Internet not only makes these changes visible, but is forcing the change in both form and content. And, in many ways, the willingness of the academic to play the public intellectual has hast [Online Learning Update] 12:16:18 PM

OPML: Another e-Learning tool waiting to get noticed. Per Dave Winer, "a tool for people, for literate people - for people with ideas, for people with information that they want to organize." Michael Arrington/TechCrunch: My Thoughts on Reading Lists. My Thoughts on Reading Lists — Dave Winer has been thinking about, and recently writing about, a new idea: Reading Lists. — OPML is a really useful file structure that just about everyone who uses a feed aggregator, like bloglines, is already using without necessarily knowing it.

e-Portfolios explained (and Drupal demo'd).You hear a lot about e-Portfolios as a way to manage online learning, but seldom does anyone explain what e-Portfolios are and how to use them. George Siemens points to a good overview, which is also a good example of how you can use Drupal. Integrative Portfolios: "...a 10,000 foot overview of electronic portfolio practice at the beginning and a bit about the conceptual design of the Open Source Portfolio at the end."
