Tutorom

Setting up some students with VTC accounts this morning.  Up in the right hand corner I saw a little bit of text that said VTC Network : Tutorom.  There was an arrow link after it, so I clicked to see what it could be.

Looks like VTC is launching “a free site for elearning creation and delivery.”  I signed up for the beta, which is expected to launch on March 1st.

Not a lot of content, or information, at this point.  Just five links at the bottom.  Among them is included Home: a landing page with channels of elearning; Learn: search for courses/lessons; Create: wikis, forums, web pages, links and quizzes; collaborate: project management tools to manage workflow and chat features; and admin: manage your profile, add groups and users, also a customizable personal website.

I’m looking forward to March.

Open Thread: Mac Mind Mapping, and how you use it | 43 Folders

This is a great article out of 43 Folders. I’ve been using a variety of Mind-mapping tools and really enjoy Vue (http://vue.tccs.tufts.edu/). Considering it is both free and has a good range of basic capabilities, it might be the best entry-level mind-mapping software available.
