Business Week: The ABCs of Education Stocks
Investors don't usually think of education as a stand-alone investment sector such as energy or technology. But the stocks are gaining momentum--and Wall Street's attention...These stocks should be on your radar screen. While the rest of the market has languished, the education sector until recently has been on a tear.

CETIS: CETIS interviews Mikael Nilsson about the Edutella project
We are in the midst, it seems, of a quiet revolution in computing. The technologies that built the internet, with its giant server farms and gigabyte databases, are giving way to a new wave of distributed technologies. After the furore over music network Napster dies down, we are seeing a new generation of projects in the education field taking up the peer-to-peer challenge of building distributed, "democratic" learning technology. One of the most interesting new projects out there is Edutella, an attempt to create a distributed web for learning metadata making use of emerging standards...

Gerry McGovern: Why metadata is

Gerry McGovern: Why metadata is important
There is an ongoing reluctance among people who create content for the Web to add appropriate metadata to that content. This reluctance is leading to a situation where much of the Web is sinking in a morass of information overload. Instead of being a giant library, as hoped, increasing sections of the Web are looking like a giant dump.

Webreview: Ten Mistakes in Site Planning
Measured in Internet time, the Web is a fairly old and established technology. By now, you would think we'd know how to build Web sites with the balance of aesthetics and functionality that meets our audience's needs. Somehow, that isn't always the case. Numerous Web sites are still a punishment to the eye, or frustrate users' attempts to find information.

EContent: In the Key of C: Content and Community Co-mingle
There are features inherent in the most engaging of online communities that enable trustworthy and discreet communication between members, and by default add another layer of content and value. One of these is the member profile. Self-created profiles are key to giving each member a place to tell the world about themselves, and to give others a way to find out more about other people at the site.

freep: Intranet gives neighbors a virtual gathering spot
If you lose your dog, you can post its picture on the page that's your neighborhood's bulletin board. If you like to play bridge, you can create a page for other nearby players to find partners and schedule games. Garage sale buffs can find each other. Swim team parents can set up a car pool... Intranets -- those small localized areas of the Internet that can be accessed by just a select group -- are starting to move into our subdivisions and condo neighborhoods.

Strategy Week: Interview with Tom Wisniewski, CEO of HorizonLive
In a university environment we're finding that two-way communication isn't always something they need to have in order to get done with what they're doing, but sometimes one-way audio with optional two-way or with chat is sufficient. Whereas in the corporate world, the expectation is a lot higher and they require two-way communication in order to have the right level of interaction.

Marc Prensky: Video Games and the Attack on America
But up until now, this immersive, Digital Game-Based Learning has often received skeptical reactions from traditional educators, who wonder "does it really work?" It is hideously ironic that after last Tuesday we now have irrefutable proof of just how well training by games and simulation does work. It comes from the mouth of the horrified and unknowing aircraft trainer who said on TV that the terrorist pilots just sat in his simulator and "practiced turns."

Many think that building something that is better is good enough for the market. It doesn't work. Market offerings can't just be better than alternatives. They need to be amazingly better--so great, in fact, that people will be motivated to change their behavior and spend money to boot.

Business 2.0: Right Now, the Only Capital That Matters Is Social Capital
If the events of the last fortnight have affirmed anything, it's the importance of what's often called social capital -- the stock of shared purpose, trust, experience, goodwill, and sheer (or mere) humanity that we draw on in times like this. It's social capital that brought, and continues to bring, hundreds of people to lower Manhattan to aid rescue efforts. It's social capital that has filled the nation's coffers with the very lifeblood of its people...

Some geniuses are driven by an inevitable force. Case in point: Michael Milken. Thus we find the former junk bond king, now 55 and barred for life from securities activities, sitting on the throne of a $1.75 billion private education empire that includes private and publicly traded companies. The old suspicions still dog him. But even those suspicious of him say that, by all appearances, he appears to be doing it right this time. So what's the catch?

The fact is, animation is able to convey a vast amount of information in a very short period of time, and can be a powerful method of reinforcing concepts and topics first introduced to students through text, discussion, or other media. Though still in its fledgling stage, animation holds the promise of allowing visual learners and those with special needs new and powerful ways to comprehend complex phenomena.
