Comments on: About Michael Hanley & this e-learning blog http://elearningcurve.edublogs.org E-learning Curve Blog is Michael Hanley's elearning blog about skills, knowledge, and organizational development using web-based training and technology in education Mon, 24 Aug 2009 07:04:10 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.2 hourly 1 By: michaelhanley http://elearningcurve.edublogs.org/about/comment-page-1/#comment-146 michaelhanley Wed, 17 Sep 2008 09:14:49 +0000 #comment-146 Hi Michael, Thanks for your comments and for reading my blog. I'll be very interested to take a look at the research your carried out this summer about how people find information online. This is a subject very close to my heart, given that people generally (and knowledge workers in particular) spend up to 30% of their time searching for information across a range of resources including local intra- and extranets and, of course, online. If you're a regular reader of my blog, you'll know that I have written on this topic previously on a number of occasions, and I am always motivated to discover new work undertaken in this domain. If it's OK with you, I'll put some remarks on the research on the E-learning Curve at Edublogs, naturally including links to your own site and the primary research itself. Best regards, Michael Hanley Hi Michael,

Since you cover e-learning in The E-learning Curve at Edublogs , I thought you might be interested in a study that my nonprofit published this summer about how people find information online. The study covers three groups: non-profit organizations and cities; web designers and firms; and the general public. The study was fascinating on a number of levels, and I invite you to read the executive summary or download a PDF of the findings at http://www.idea.org/find-information.html . The survey results sparked ideas about tools we could provide that might make finding information online easier. This fall, we will start beta testing a cool new new navigational tool. I don't have your email, so if you are interested, you can sign up for our beta here: http://www.spicynodes.org/ or to stay abreast of our (very) occasional new projects, you can get our newsletter here: http://www.idea.org/newsletter.html Thanks, Michael DEAR Michael ,

I am a technology teacher in Ontario, and recently I started http://www.ClassRunner.com in order to help teachers bring online learning environments into their classes in an easy and affordable way. Many teachers I know have wanted to extend their class online, but have balked at the complexity. My goal is to provide a simple, friendly yet powerful option, giving teachers just what they need, without any headaches. Using Moodle, I setup, host and manage very affordable course sites for teachers, which can provide a class message-board functions, blogs, assignment posting and collecting, online markbooks, posted resources, glossaries, calendars, etc... I hope you think your readers might find it appealing. With your permission, I will be adding a link to your site on our 'links' page, and if you think it appropriate, perhaps you could reciprocate? Wishing you continued success in your endeavors, David Hoare dh@classrunner.com Hi there – great site!
