Comments from Sebastien Paquet I was pleased to see that Sebastien Paquet referred to EduResources in one of his recent blogs. Seb comments, "I'm concerned that many good resources are underused, not for lack of quality, but because they are for all practical purposes 'unfindable.' I suspect resource authors will each have to take up the responsibility of providing and maintaining part of a shared overall map of what is out there, if they want their resources to be used." It seems to me that each of the numerous research projects underway to create new online instructional repositories should include, as part of their grant specifications, a requirement to demonstrate how potential users can efficiently locate their new online site and also a provision to include user guidelines that will show site visitors how they can best use the site for instruction. 10:53:56 AM    COMMENT []
