Intute Reviewed by Stephen Downes in Innovate The UK site Intute is thoroughly and positively reviewed in this Innovate article by Stephen Downes. (Accessing Innovate does require registration.) _____JH _______ "Places to go: Intute" by Stephen Downes (Volume 3, Issue 1, October/November 2006). Stephen Downes examines the features of Intute, an online service that provides free access to a wide range of well-selected Web resources for educators and educational researchers. The simple layout of the site belies an innovative approach that separates it from other repositories: In addition to resources screened by editors and lists of services, Intute includes blogs and the Harvester, an automated computer program that contacts remote databases and retrieves records of newly created resources. Downes encourages educators and educational researchers to explore this promising forerunner in a new generation of learning object repositories. [Innovate] 9:23:51 AM    COMMENT []
