It's always interesting to me the tidbits that get dropped in e-mails on other topics. I've been e-mailing one of my colleagues at one of colleges and they mentioned in passing that they were training their nursing faculty on using PDAs. We've seen more and more of this in our system. It looks like it is one of those technologies that will stay the course. A quick google found this good-looking site: PDA cortex: The Journal of Mobile Informatics, which included a couple of listservs for nurses. 

Sure, it looks like there's some selling going on, but nevertheless a reasonable resource...and I just wanted a chance to point out yet another good thing our faculty are doing.

A detailed post from Auricle about the practical deployment of shared learning materials: "Above all we need practical solutions which users will buy into because they perceive them as having a low barrier to entry and use, are efficient, provide benefits over current practices, and above all are flexible (note emphasis)."

This is a really great post, detailed and full of provocative links. The main thrust is in support of the kind of perspective offered by Stephen Downes, Alan Levine and others, based on relatively accessible technologies like RSS.

Seblogging:: "The thing is... I don't think I have a content problem. And if I think about young adults in higher education in the so-called first world, I don't see much of a content problem, either."

Seb makes a great point in his own words and follows with an eloquent quote from Oleg Liber. The key experience in learning is not in the "stuff". There's tons of quality stuff out there. The key is in the "rich conversational engagement between learners and teachers", but virtual learning environments are often antithetical to this: "Thus there is a mismatch between what people are doing on the internet, and what leading learning environments are providing."

Jarrett House North "Following up on the launch last week of the Microsoft.com blog portal and our RSS platform technology, I wanted to point to the first product site to consume the new capabilities"

A short piece that has some good jummping off points to showcase how Microsoft is using weblogs and RSS.
