I hope it will be of interest to you and visitors of your blog to learn about a new site <a href="http://www.learn-on-the-go.com" rel="nofollow">Learn On The Go - education & learning podcast directory</a>. It contains carefully selected educational and instructional podcasts covering wide variety of topics and aims to promote the use of audio and video podcasting learning materials for personal and professional development. Very recommended for students, teachers and everyone interested in spending his/her spare time for learning. My best wishes, Leon Hi Leigh,

I thought you might be willing to take a look at our web 2.0 app with real potential for educational use. "Coventi Pages" is a full-featured online word processor with discussion features that go way beyond current "comment" offerings and have the potential to change the way people work together on documents. At Stanford University, we're finding that instructors really like it for giving feedback to students, and that students find it useful for peer reviews and group projects. Our big insight is that collaboration on documents is a matter of attaching threaded discussions to sections of text as metadata. Teachers can start a targeted dialogue with a student by highlighting text and writing a note in the margin, just like pen and paper. Students can reply to comments, and/or make changes to the document while seeing the conversation in context. Coventi was founded by Stanford Computer Science students and is advised by Stanford Profs. Terry Winograd (Advisor to Larry Page on the "Page Rank" paper) and Fred Gibbons (Founder, Software Publishing Corp.). Here's a link to a quick demo video: http://www.coventi.com/videos/IntroToPages.aspx Accounts are free right now so it's a great time to give it a try. If you do, please let me know what you think! Thanks so much, Dan Hello Leigh,
