On my radar

I’ve just got back to work after breaking my ankle five weeks ago and I’ve just started catching up with things in e-learning and beyond. I thought I’d enumerate a few things that are on my radar. Just a list with links for now:

- Blackboard 9 coming soon to Swansea U. - Delicious Bookmark Browse feature (thanks to CogDogBlog). Useful for creating a presentation based on web sites. Try this one for resources I’ve collected on plagiarism. - Open source learning object building toolkit Xerte (thanks to Helen Davies at the Swansea Learning Lab). - The WolframAlpha search engine from Wolfram research (and *Mathematica*). Good introduction and interview with Conrad Wolfram in the June 9th Edition of the Guardian Tech Weekly Podcast. Try: http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=7+May,+1959. - EduGlu — a social network builder for education based on Drupal. Very early stages of development, but one to watch.
