Langues et mondialisation, par Louis-Jean Calvet. 
Environ sept mille langues et deux cents pays: le monde est plurilingue. Mais la mondialisation a institué un véritable « marché au langues » sur lequel elles n'ont pas le même poids, pas la même valeur. Cette situation sera présentée à partir du « Baromètre des langues du monde ». Plus...
MIT's Open Window
Industrial grade article about MIT's Open Courseware Project. Those familiar with the project will not find a lot of new content in this article (which could just as well have been cobbled together from press releases and other articles on the same topic). More...
SC Seeks Input on Pick-a-Prof
SC Seeks Input on Pick-a-Prof
Students at the University of Texas at Arlington are debating whether to sign a $3000 contract with a web service called Pick-a-Prof. What is interesting about this item is not merely that a commercial professor rating service has set up shop (though that is interesting) but rather that it is marketing itself as a service to student groups (rather than to individual students or to universities).

Microsoft Outlook
Microsoft Outlook
Today's newsletter is a tribute to Microsoft Outlook. Well, maybe not a tribute. After discovering that my old copy of Outlook wouldn't run on my new XP computer (it decided that I am a software pirate even though I bought and paid for my copy with cold hard cash), I went out and bought a new copy, which, when I installed it Saturday, promptly failed to connect to the Exchange server.

The Effectiveness of Models of Flexible Provision of Higher Education
The Effectiveness of Models of Flexible Provision of Higher Education
Summary of a report (the full report is available in PDF at the bottom of the page) assessing the effectiveness of flexible delivery of college and university courses. After sketching what is meant by flexible delivery (a definition that focuses on accessibility options and preferences rather than technology) the summary lists some advantages and disadvantage.

EduZope Initiative Seeks to Combine Standards Support With Open Source
EduZope Initiative Seeks to Combine Standards Support With Open Source
This article summarizes the launch of the EduZope initiative. This article from CETIS isn't their best work, filled as it is with alphabet soup (and failing anywhere to state just what EduZope is intended to be). More...
