I\’ve just put together a document listing the elearning technologies that are available as a sort of shopping list of approaches for the academics engaged in the modules part of this project. I\’m not saying it\’s exhaustive, but it is an attempt to synthesise the essential bits of what I know about them.

I’ve come across this mind mapping tools which might be of use. I haven’t used it myself yet but it received good reviews http://mind42.com/

The pedagogic tools report has now been revised in the light of feedback at the recent project board meeting and can be found within the Pedagogic Approaches workpackage area

First pilot yesterday of running Megameeting with real live tutors. Found that one of the issues is that Megameeting requires users to install a plug-in in order to be able to share desktops, then reboot, and re-set up the meeting and re-invite users. Not exactly user-friendly - and a webconferencing software that doesn’t run desktop sharing automatically is a step back from NetMeeting (remember NetMeeting). However, apart from that it works fine.

I fed a couple of my longer poems into wordle last night with entertaining results - certainly its analysis of the frequency of keywords could be a useful and instant way of identifying whether a student is meeting the assignment brief. And you can make loads of pretty pictures by hitting “randomise” over and over again! I haven’t got to grips with the “advanced” options yet (you can weight words with different colours and prominences)… it might move more towards a mindmapping process…
