The Quest For Quality

The Quest For Quality
Interesting discussion of the difficulties inherent in ensuring quality in e-learning. It's a daunting task. "He points to a simple program containing 20 lines of code, including a loop and three IF statements. He calculated that there were 100 trillion execution paths, which would take a billion years to test!" Integration poses even greater difficulties. More...

Flexible E-Paper on Its Way

Teachers and Scholars and Their Fragile Digital Objects
Discussion of the preservation of New-Model scholarship, mentioned a few days ago in OLDaily. The author points out that the creator has a certain responsibility to posterity. "Yet we all [know] what it's like to stumble across these pages on the Internet, and not really be sure whose they are or where they came from.
