Dashboard at e-Learning Guru The Dashboard page at e-LearningGuru.com acts as an information portal for news updates and links related to electronic learning. Kevin Kruse maintains the site which includes e-Learning News, e-Learning Blog links, and Edu RSS Latest News. The full e-Learning Guru site also includes Articles, a Tool Box, White Papers, Book Summaries, a Glossary, Links, and a Calendar. Use the Site Map to orient to what is available. The site is a starting point that professionals in electronic learning will want to have in their bookmarks or perhaps use as a home page. Although the site leans toward training and development applications of e-Learning, academics will also find much of value. (E.g. see the Open Source links.) JH 4:39:08 PM    COMMENT []

Google Zeitgeist I've been returning to look at this Google data hits summary several times throughout the week because I'm not really sure what to make of it. Google describes the page this way, "The Google Zeitgeist page is regularly updated to reflect lists, graphs, and other tidbits of information related to Google user search behavior." For the most part I'm not interested in most of the popular search items that emerge on Google-- which largely match names found in People magazine. However it is interesting to see diiferences and similarities in popular searches from different countries. I would like to see this kind of zeitgeist hits summary reported regularly for searches in Merlot, MIT's OCW, Scout, CAREO, and other online instructional repositories. JH 7:46:24 AM    COMMENT []
