I'm the chair of homeopathic medicine at the National College of Natural Medicine, in Portland, Oregon (crossed over from conventional medical practice as a family physician). In addition to classroom & clinic teaching responsibilities, I've developed & maintain our online learning management system. Am particularly interested in the development of multimedia learning objects to replace or supplement the role of traditional lecture in supporting active learning pedagogies.
Hi Will,
It sounds like your question regarding the pedagogical implications of user rating of peer-submitted content would make an awesome dissertation or at least a journal article. For the longest time, I was going to your site and thinking I had to sign up to use it until I read the directions a little more clearly and realized I only needed to type in the supplied guest username and password. Maybe you could bold and make the font bigger for guest login. Just a thought.
Hi Will,
Looks like you are keeping busy. Very cool websites that are testing. Keep us posted on what you think of drigg and pligg and how you might use those in the online learning environment.
Take Care,
Terence
