Thanks for your conference tidbits.
Moodle, http://moodle.org/ looks interesting. At first I thought they were connected with Google but it looks like they have no relation besides the appearance of their name. They offer open source course management software. The site itself was created using Moodle, but couldn't find information about who started Moodle. Looks like lots of Europeans as well as US users.
I took a look at Google's personal medical record. At this point, I would feel leery of putting my own health information on the web. I wonder how they will be able to convince people that this type of sensitive information can really be kept private on the web. - Terri
Thanks for your worthy updates! I have lots of things to relate regarding the use of moodle. I was able to experience its amazing performance on one of my training program. By the way, I just want to share something on audience response system. I was actually amazed on its performances for improved learning sessions. I was one of the attendees on a training event for a specific audience response system company and I must say, its usage to increase audience participation and viable two-way communication is appreciated.
