WCET Conference Proceedings Here's a hyperlink for the proceedings of the Nov. 6-9 Denver meeting of the Western Cooperative for Educational Telecommunications. Most of the proceedings are available as pdf or ppt files. I especially recommend the presentation by Cecilia d'Oliveira, the Technology Director of MIT's OCW, about the MIT OpenCourseWare project ("OpenCourseWare: Freebie with a Future?") and the presentation by, Phillip Long, Senior Strategist of the Academic Computing Enterprise at MIT, about the MIT Open Knowledge Initiative ("Open Source Learning Environments: A Sustainable Alternative?"). In answering questions at the conference, Phil Long indicated that the first Learning Management System applications from OKI consortial members MIT (Stellar), Stanford (CourseWork), and U. Mich. (CHEF) may be released in about six months. 10:34:45 AM    COMMENT []
