WebCT, Angel, D2L, Blackboard, Sakai, Moodle comparison
Monday, January 9th, 2006Brock University has created a comparison document of all Learning Management Systems (LMSs – like WebCT) that are available for use in higher education. This document was created by a committee (OK, 99% me) in response to the recent merger of Blackboard and WebCT, and the recent growth of projects like Sakai. This document has been published on the web in a format in which any can read or contribute to, and that’s why I’m making this post.
I’m asking anyone to share this resource with those who could make use of it and that you contribute whatever information or comments that you can. The more contributions the better.
A question for the comments: Is there interest in video conferencing?

Windows Vista, Out now
Monday, January 9th, 2006Windows Vista is the next version of the Windows operating system.
Someone took the audio from a recent product demo and added screen shots of Apple’s OSX doing the exact same thing. Vista will come out a about a year from now, OSX Tiger came out about a year ago. (One company is a huge quasi-legal monopoly, one almost went out of business a decade ago).
