HEFCE publishes their e-Learning Strategy

HEFCE publishes their e-Learning Strategy: "

The Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) has published their new e-Learning Strategy, developed jointly with JISC and the HE Academy.

This document probably provides hints as to some of the topics to be addressed in the more wide-reaching e-Learning Strategy from the Department for Education & Skills (DfES), presumably due any day now in order to get out before the election.

Elsevier on PDAs

Elsevier on PDAs: "

Toni Clogston gave a thorough overview of how clinicians use PDAs. Over 40% of physicians use PDAs and they tend to be the younger doctors. Elsevier is putting its Handbooks on PDAs but they don't expect people to read PDFs on their PDAs. It's necessary to customize content, consider search functionality, realize that users are mobile, and that handhelds may not be the next new thing. In fact, Toni suggested an analogy to 8-track tapes.
