27-Jan-2009: E-Learn 2009
E-Learn 2009, the World Conference on E-Learning, will be held in Vancouver this October (26-30th)!
Make plans to attend E-Learn 2009 in Vancouver, Canada, on October 26-30th. I’m looking forward to both attending sessions and, given a successful submission, presenting my work. Vancouver is a wonderful city and will be gearing up for the Olympics in February, 2010. So, don’t miss this opportunity to visit before the crowds descend on the city months later.
06-Nov-2008: AACE E-Learn
The AACE E-Learn conference (Nov 17-21, 2008) in Las Vegas is almost here!
The AACE E-Learn 2008 conference begins in Las Vegas this month. According to the website, this is an international conference on “E-Learning in Corporate, Government, Healthcare, & Higher Education,” sponsored by the Association for the Advancement of Computing in Education (AACE) and co-sponsored by the International Journal on E-Learning. Furthermore, this conference serves as a “multi-disciplinary forum for the exchange of information on research, development, and applications of all topics related to e-Learning in the Corporate, Government, Healthcare, and Higher Education sectors.”
An amazing time will certainly be had by all attending! I hope to see you there.
25-Aug-2008: Introducing BlogDesk!
Check out BlogDesk, a desktop software program that makes it easy to write and publish blogs.
BlogDesk is a blog management tool that provides an easy-to-use WYSIWYG interface for blogging. Whether you are using ExpressionEngine, WordPress, or another Web-based blogging system, BlogDesk can auto-detect your settings and have you blogging with style in minutes. I’ve decided to use it for a “trial period” in managing a few of my website blogs and, so far, I’m very pleased.
So, what are the benefits of blogging through desktop software. First, you can take your time in formulating an entry and save and revise it over a period of days or weeks before posting. Second, you have a running log of your entries stored on your computer system as a backup. Third, you can post a single entry to multiple blogs at the same time. And, lastly, it is far easier to use a WYSIWYG editor with image manipulation capabilities than trying to modify HTML code.

21-Apr-2008: Selecting a CMS
We have evaluated many CMS open-source and commercial systems that meet our needs.
The CMS Matrix at www.cmsmatrix.org provided a wealth of information for researching and analyzing potential content management systems. In the end, our short-list of vendors included ExpressionEngine, MODx, SilverStripe, and CMSMadeSimple. While all of these products have their strengths and weaknesses, the features and support provided by EllisLabs and ExpressionEngine won over our development team.
04-Apr-2008: Research Begins
Research begins on selecting a CMS (content management system) for our new website.
