I would do a couple of things differently (including getting the rights to use Also Sprach Zarathustra) but I think you'll agree with me that this goes far beyond what we typically think of as online learning. More...

News That Comes to You
News That Comes to You
Yet an introductory article on RSS (it's hard to believe that this technology is half a decade old). "Instead of the hunt and peck of Web surfing, you can download or buy a small program that turns your computer into a voracious media hub, letting you snag headlines and news updates as if you were commanding the anchor desk at CNN."

Standardization and Its Unseen Ironies
Standardization and Its Unseen Ironies
Littered with great quotes and zingers, this article asks, "Who in their right educational mind would want to create a 21st-century system of learning based on the mismeasurement of young children?" The author then launches a sustained attack on the usefuless and reasonableness of standardized testing as a politically motivated ploy against public education and in favour of privatized, standards based learning.

SBC Enforcing All-Encompassing Web Patent

In a letter distributed to web site owners, the company notes the site's use of "selectors or tabs that correspond to specific locations (which) are not lost when a different part of the document is displayed to the user."
