I am right now in South Africa starting the MobilED initiatives’ first school tests. More information about the products, services and testing of them will be soon in the MobilED web site. I am going to report some highlights – if there will be any – of the MobilED in Flosse Posse, as well. Today […]
CALIBRATE Toolbox is – or will be – a collaborative environment for authoring and sharing learning content. In January 31st we published the first prototype of the CALIBRATE Toolbox we have been working on since last October. The development of Toolbox takes place on our semi-open development site. You will find from the site a […]
– a public consultation round on patents in EC – As expected, the Commission is most likely trying to sneak in the issue of software patents into the Community Patent. A general discussion has now been opened about the Community Patent and the future EC patent policy in general, nothing mentioned about software patents, though. […]
Node – A unit of information. Also known as a frame (KMS), card (Hypercard, Notecards). Used with this special meaning in hypertext circles. (W3.org 1992) David Wiley post a few days ago a very nice post with the title “RIP-ping on Learning Objects”. Arcy Norman was fast commenting David’s post and wrote that learning object […]
I started to write this post as a comment to Leigh Blackall’s post “learning should be free, its an education that can cost”. Then it started to expand. However read Leigh’s nice post first.

Update: Esta entrada está en Español en el blog de Caro Botero. Gracias! I find the MIT’s $100 Laptop project disturbing. For me there are too many open questions. I also found out that I am not only with my thoughts. Several other people are also rather critical with Mr Negroponte’s latest brainchild. Already last […]
This week we – our research group – were hosting a workshop with our partners from Estonia, Hungary and Norway(*. The developer workshop was organized to start a new software project. The software is called ToolBox. We have been working on it for some months already, but now it was time to get our hands […]
