Is HTML5 the Future of eLearning?
Posted by enzofsilva in Technology, eLearning 2.0, learning, mobile on February 25, 2010
In the past few years we have seen the rise of the Apple (iPhone/iPod/iPad) vs. Adobe (Flash) wars. For many reasons (that I don’t agree with), Apple doesn’t seem to want Flash to be enabled in their mobile devices even though many websites rely on the technology to deliver interactive experiences.
Accessibility (for users with disabilities) is also a challenge when using Flash to create interactions in websites in general and in eLearning courses.
HTML5 seems to solve some of these problems by allowing universal access to interactive screens that you would normally see only in Flash. See these HTML5 interactions by Remy Sharp.
Now, a simple question (maybe not so): are eLearning professionals going to embrace HTML5 and wean from Flash altogether?

Time to Know – Interactive Core Curriculum
Posted by enzofsilva in Technology, learning, schools on February 2, 2010
Time to Know is a startup company providing interactive core curriculum for the 21st century.
Using Constructivism as it departing point, Time to Know employs a blended learning approach to delivering State-standard core curricula. The program promises to foster critical thinking, independent learning and better outcomes through an inquiry-based discovery process.
Instead of the traditional authoritative role, teachers using this program are supposed to take the active role of a facilitator while students explore and learn.

Project Wonderland’s Future
Posted by enzofsilva in learning on February 1, 2010
The Project Wonderland development team just found out that development resources will no longer be applied to the project, Sun/Oracle resources that is.
However, the avid team plans to keep up the great work they have done so far counting on the open source community. The team wiill soon release Project Wonderland v0.5 Preview Release 3 this week.
Nicole Yanchelovich (project lead) reminds us of the countless university projects and corporations utilizing Project Wonderland as a virtual world platform and several companies offering Wonderland-based services. Also noted in her post on January 30, 2010, is the power of the community that keeps the project alive and she calls for participation:
“Any concrete help you can give us would, of course, be welcome, but what we are asking for now is your moral support and your continued participation in our thriving community. Let’s stand together in our determination to keep this project moving forward. If you would like to contact me privately, please feel free to do so at nicoley @ dev.java.net.”
