2007-11-11 哪些免费服务可以构筑一个个人学习环境
个人学习环境的代表是Blackboard，但今天我们有很多免费的选择可以替代他们。
Martin的提议是：内容存放和讨论-wetpaint/wikispaces; 对话-Twitter/Jaiku；虚拟会议-flashmeeting；新闻-blog；测验-Blogquiz。
我的学习环境：内容存放-Twitter/blog/wikispaces/Google group/Email/Homepage；对话-QQ/MSN/EMail/SKype/Google group/BBS.
希望改进后便利的：内容存放，对话-Google Maps API/Concept Map，虚拟会议-Elearning forum

For content and discussion - wetpaint or wikispaces, upload the content, each page has its own forum, and students get to control the content. Or I could create a blog wherein each post is an activity, this has the advantage that students can subscribe. I'd probably go the wiki route though. Dialogue - I'd probably encourage everyone to sign up for Twitter or Jaiku, to create a low-level, non-intrusive dialogue between students. We might also need some ongoing discussion board. Virtual meetings - I'd use Flashmeeting and schedule regular sessions. News and updates - I'd use a blog and get students to subscribe. Quiz/informal assessment tools - there are a bunch of these around e.g. Blogquiz where you can embed them in your own page. There's a lot of commercial stuff too, so I think there is room for better free services in this area.
