Wikiversity Gains Momentum
The online collaboration that
has made Wikipedia one of the
most used sources of
information on the Internet is
also being used to build a
school and offer classes
across the online world, and
the project is taking off.
Coordinators
of Wikiversity, one of the
major projects of the
Wikimedia Foundation Inc.,
said the project is picking up
speed, and expect it to really
get going within the next two
or three years. Wikiversity is
a free learning community, and
aims to provide free
educational materials and
courses online. The most
popular course currently on
offer is on film making, said
Cormac Lawler, a collaborative
coordinator at Wikiversity.
Lawler and
Teemu Leinonen hosted a
session on progress at
Wikiversity on Saturday during
Wikimania, a yearly meeting to
bring the international
Wikimedia community together
to discuss new issues and
opportunities. This year,
Taipei is hosting the
event.
The Internet has long been
associated with giving users
opportunities to learn new
skills for free. Type just
about any subject into
Google's search engine,
including how to fix a car,
play guitar, do needlework, or
build a Web site, and then add
the word 'tutorial' and up
pop several Web sites offering
guides on the subject...

26.01.2006Adobe makes Flex Builder free for students, faculty
In an effort to lure more developers to its tools for building RIAs, Adobe is making its Flex Builder 2 software available free to students and
faculty at educational institutions.
Flex Builder is Adobe's development environment for building applications using Flash and
AIR (Adobe Integrated Runtime), two of the technologies integral to Adobe's
strategy for making applications that use rich media available online and offline. Adobe hopes to woo some of the best of the crop of new developers
at universities, which are just beginning to offer Flex courses as part of their curriculum.
Beginning next month, qualified
education users can begin downloading Adobe Flex 2 at
Adobe's Web site. The open-source SDK
for Flex is already available free and can be downloaded
online. The SDK
includes the Flex code compiler and libraries for ActionScript 3.0, which provide the language and programming model for RIAs deployed on Flash.

27.07.2007Home Office buys iPods for staff
The UK Home Office is turning
to iPods to teach some civil

A
Times Online
report explains that
twenty leading civil servants
have been given top-of-the
range iPods for the purpose,
as the Home Office searches
for a way to train staff in a
constant way.
The
twenty civil servants are
using their iPods to watch
video-based training courses
when they get the chance to
brush up their skills. Courses
are presented by mamagement
experts.
A Home
Office spokesperson explained
that the iPods host fifty
three to five minute
leadership lessons, and added:
"As with other modern
learning aids, video iPods
provide the opportunity for
flexible learning and the cost
is extremely competitive
compared with the rates for
classroom training for senior
staff."
The Home
Office pointed out that
delivering lessons on an iPod
gave learners easy access to a
great deal of learning, all of
which could be recycled. "An
iPod is portable, convenient
and just an extension of
e-learning."
The
twenty iPods and associated
software and learning packages
cost the Home Office

27.02.2007Oosah offers 1TB of free online media storage
It's not hard to find an online service that lets you upload a few hundred megabytes of pictures, music, and movie clips. Some even give you
5 or
50GB. But
Oosah is a service
that's upping the game. By a lot. Oosah claims that users get 1TB of online storage for free.
There are some limitations. You
can only upload videos that are 200MB or smaller, images that are 50MB or less, and MP3 files that are 9MB or less. And you can't upload executable
files, office documents, or other files. Just movies, music, and pictures. But Oosah does accept most common media file types. There's also an option
to upload media directly from your camera or capture device without copying it to your computer first.

30.04.2008Yahoo? MS? It's All Free, Just Try Them All
The impetus behind Microsofts and Yahoos fervent courting of the SMB market with freebies is simple: There is a huge, untapped number of small
businesses, the majority of which arent online.
Between Microsofts new freebie, Office Live Small Business tools, and Yahoos recently announced all-you-can-eat free Web site hosting
buffet, youre a fool if you reach for your wallet when it comes to getting online.
"It is unbelievable what is out there,
free, on the Web," said Laurie McCabe, an analyst for AMI. "For project management, for CRM. Do a Google search for whatever you want, plus
free, plus online service, and youll probably find a free online service."
The impetus behind Microsofts and Yahoos fervent
courting of the SMB (small to medium-sized business) market with freebies is simple: There is a huge, untapped number of small businesses, the
majority of which arent online. In the United States alone, analyst firms such as IDC and AMR peg the number of small businessesi.e., those with fewer
than 10 employees--at between 15 million to 20 million. An estimated 50 percent of those small businesses dont even have a Web site.

Financial Times Will Allow Some Free Access to Web Site
The Financial Times, preparing for a fierce battle with The Wall Street Journal over business readers and online advertising revenue, will give casual
readers free access to its Web site this month, according to executives at The Financial Times.
The Web site of the London-based
business newspaper, which currently charges for much of its content online, as of mid-October will allow users to get up to 30 articles a month for
free, said John Ridding, chief executive of the newspaper. Anyone who wants to view more online material will have to subscribe to the site.
The shift, part of what Mr. Ridding described as a broad overhaul of FT.com that will be
phased in over several months, comes as other newspapers are rethinking their efforts to charge users for online content. A surge in online ad
spending over the last three years has persuaded many publishers that it is better to increase their Internet audience, in an effort to appeal to
advertisers, than to try to squeeze meager revenue from online subscriptions.
