After stumbling across a couple of new blogs that mentioned finding RSS feeds for medical journals and setting up RSS feeds for a PubMed search, I found one that linked back to the MLA Learning 2.0 CE Blog Course Web 2.0 101: Introduction to Second Generation Web Tools. The course is still in its first week.
What a great learning tool! And not only for participants. The comments posted by the learners and instructors offer insights for those setting up similar programs; for example, one might encourage learners up-front to explore whether their institution blocks YouTube so that they would need to work from home or a public library, or instructors might offer blip.tv or RealPlayer versions of video offerings.
I’m looking forward to following the series.
