We’ve just launched blogs for all me.edu.au users, as part of the edna suite of services. I have some more technical details on my me.edu.au blog.

More OpenDSM pointers
February 21, 2008 – 8:20 am
By happy coincidence Mike mentioned the OpenDSM release yesterday on this blog. Paul Darby saw enough possibilities in the technology to blog about it himself. That was fortunate, because it reminded me that we haven’t mentioned the NRMToolbar site’s use of DSM.
The NRMToolbar site is a “set of online tools and databases to make it […]
Open DSM
February 20, 2008 – 2:25 pm
One thing I’ve been working on over the past few month has been preparing OpenDSM for release as an open source product (See Jerry’s blog for more details). It’s been an interesting task - DSM is a mature product with years of development behind it. That has the benefit that it is stable and well […]
The social graph: claims and verfication
February 14, 2008 – 3:54 pm
The latest version of me.edu.au adds support for XFN: The XHTML Friends Network. This makes it possible for tools to automagically link your multiple online identities together.
XFN uses a system of claims and verifications to determine how online identities are linked together. Claims are made using HTML links, using the rel=”me” attribute. If the […]
Literacy bridge
January 23, 2008 – 1:30 pm
While the OLPC (the “$100 laptop”) has had plenty of media attention, perhaps Literacy Bridge (the “$5 MP3 player”) is equally deserving:
We are building the Talking Book Device, a low cost audio player and recorder, for children and adults in the developing world. Children and adults will use the device for literacy learning and knowledge […]
New me.edu.au release
January 11, 2008 – 11:43 am
I’ve just done a new release of me.edu.au. This doesn’t have any large new features (we want to give it a chance to bed down before adding stuff), but there are a couple of minor enhancements which are worth highlighting.
Firstly, as previously mentioned we’ve changed the “Browse Communities” screen so that communities with activity are […]
me.edu.au feedback
December 30, 2007 – 8:41 pm
me.edu.au seems to have had a pretty good response, with lots of useful feedback coming in.
A small disclaimer: this only represents my opinions, not necessarily the opinions of the whole me.edu.au team at education.au. Any time I say I’d like me.edu.au to include a feature it means only that -I’d like it to. As a […]
Two small me.edu.au easter eggs: RSS and APML support
December 24, 2007 – 12:02 pm
It’s Christmas tomorrow, which makes it the perfect time to mention two easter eggs [1] in me.edu.au.
Firstly, RSS output support for your activities. This lets someone else subscribe to what you are doing on me.edu.au. To see this go to your public profile (mine is http://me.edu.au/p/nlothian) and then append “/rss” to the address (eg, http://me.edu.au/p/nlothian/rss).
Secondly, […]
me.edu.au - a shared learning environment for educators
November 27, 2007 – 2:35 pm
One of the projects I’ve been working on has been the me.edu.au professional networking site. Those following the me blog may have some idea of what we’ve been doing, but now we have launched the site so I’d invite everyone to have a look:
Please be aware that it isn’t feature complete, and the site you […]
