Connexions Markup Language (CNXML) Used for Modular Instructional Materials. An interdisciplinary project at Rice University is developing the Connexions Markup Language (CNXML) as part of the Connexions Project. CNXML is a lightweight XML markup language designed primarily for marking up modular educational content. The language is concerned with the structure and semantic content of the information and encourages separation of content and presentation. Connexions is an open-source educational technology project. [XML News by CodingTheWeb.com]

Etudes Redux.

This comment got lost in the holiday stupor:

You might want to check out our website for our most recent efforts regarding ETUDES (and the next generation of the software). We are committed to being in charge of our (virtual or other) classrooms--and are inviting other academic institutions to join us. --Vivian  on 11/27/2002; 6:48:03 AM

"updatedTHM" Hey, this ETUDES thing could be big. "Designed by educators for educators." Note the reassuring California Virtual Campus (CVC) ETUDES Hosting Agreement. (Where are the state and UC systems in all this?) And check out Rosemary Arca's course on children's lit. The audio interface is very cool and it's all 508 Bobby approved. Talk about creating "something real and valuable to manage."

I love it! Foothill goes toe-to-toe with B-board and Web-CT. "Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee."
