The norm for engineering R&D is to keep information 100% secret. Jean-Claude Bradley, who teaches at Drexel University, thinks differently ... and openly. Before you reject this idea as "hogwash", you should review this information: Open Notebook Science Jon Udell podcast interview of Professor Bradley(or) Presentation & commentary by Professor Bradley (via Flash) You may wish to link to Jean-Claude Bradley's blog / podcast site. Here are a few open source success stories. Do you need to have more than one mind set?
Free Flash Quiz Tools?
I received a question on my post - Flash Quiz Tools - asking about any tools that were free that allowed you to create a Flash Quiz. The only free Flash Quiz Tool that I know anything about isClass Marker - a free flash quiz tool. Create multiple choice, true false, free text, short answer, fill in the blank and punctuation quizzes.So I added this back into my post, but it got me wondering if there aren't a lot of other solutions out there that I don't know about. Certainly you could do this as poll questions. So are there other free flash quiz tools that I'm missing?

Flash back to yesterday’s objection, “How will you measure that it is working” should have been labeled, ‘How do you measure if it is being used and adopted.” This is what I had in mind knowing that ROI would be a separate topic today. Christine Martell pointed this out in her comment from yesterday when she said, “Not so sure about this being a new way. Seems like your list is looking at the activity rather than the result.

... readying my mouse pointer on the Next button. I found the monotony of flash cards in grade school more tolerable. RLOs, the theory goes, are merely building blocks (flash cards?) of information that can quickly and easily be lifted from one course and dropped into another. Like a big bin of homogenous parts that just so happen to fit whatever you wish to bolt them to. Why, it sounds almost, well, too good to be true! It is. Actually, on paper, the theory makes perfect sense. Achieving peak efficiency is, after all, a noble goal. It’s what keeps business moving ever forward ...

Those of you more technically savvy than I am, please correct me.

At least it made those objects make more sense.(1-1 as we speak, last 2 minutes of the 1st period)- Had a chance to look at the vendor hall.
