Conformance Programmes Gather Momentum
Conformance Programmes Gather Momentum
I honestly think that the drive toward "trusted agencies bestowing the Official Stamp of Approval on e-learning products" is misguided. Partially, this is for reasons of cost - "Getting a certificate costs vendors $35,000 (or a much more reasonable $3,500 if they are already a SIF member), plus $5,000 ($1,150) for an annual renewal or a recertification for a new version of the same product" - but also because such an approach demonstrates a fundamental misunderstanding of how the web works. Imagine what would have happened were web pages required to be certified, and were browsers to connect only with certified web pages. More...

Edu_RSS MERLOT Continuing Coverage
Today is one of the busiest days of the year in online learning; this newsletter is packed with great content (and I saved some stuff for tomorrow). Speaking of packing, I am about to get on an airplane and fly to Vancouver for the MERLOT Conference. So I want to get some business out of the way before I go. More...

Case and Mood Endings in Semitic Languages – Myth or Reality?
In the context of Arabic and Semitic, it is only natural to treat case and mood under one umbrella: Arab grammarians ingenuously devised the same terms for the independent case and the independent mood on the one hand, and for the dependent case and the dependent mood, respectively. Still, the main focus of these proceedings lies on case in Semitic and Afroasiatic, wherever relevant. Thereby, taking up controversial data, issues, arguments and discussion is indispensable.
The volume contains contributions covering data mainly from Akkadian, Hebrew, Arabic, Ethio-Semitic, Berber, and selected Cushitic and Omotic languages. One paper investigates the diachronic development of case and the mimation in Akkadian, another discusses a number of accepted as well as a number of controversial residues of case in Biblical Hebrew and proposes suggestions of reanalysis in this context. A critical reading of chapter 17 of al-Zaǧǧāǧī’s ʾĪḍāḥ is offered as well as a summary and further development of recent discussion on the scenario of case in historical varieties of Arabic. The discussion about “The Case for Proto-Semitic and Proto-Arabic Case” is followed up. Furthermore, the intricacies of delimitating the concepts of case and state in Berber are discussed as well as the meaningfulness of applying the opposition “nominative” vs. “absolutive”, which is widely acknowledged to be valid in a broader Afroasiatic perspective, to Semitic. The final paper rounds up the volume with some more general deliberations on the verbal system in Semitic, thereby proposing a four-stage model.

Learning By Design
Learning By Design
A nice, long, lingering look at the process of instructional design. The bit at the beginning is especially interesting, where the author (who chooses to remain nameless) contrasts the 'engineer' model of instructional design with that of the 'gardener'. More...
