printed in 15000 (verify)

since 15th
century to Liberate people from
parochial and traditional thinking (hence
called Liberal Education)
○ Darwin- "we didn’t descended from heaven- we evolved here"

Summary, this handy service is revolutionizing the way

●In addition, us web searchers don't necessarily have to
keep checking back to any particular site to see if it's
been updated - all we need to do is subscribe to the
RSS feed, much like you would subscribe to a
newspaper, and then read the updates from the site,
delivered via RSS feeds, in what's called a "feed
reader." (We'll get to feed readers in just a minute!)

It is a platform for developing and hosting web applications in Google-
managed data centers.
● Google’s App Engine opens Google’s production to any person in the
world at nocharge. Much like Google gives us all free email with an amazing
amount of long term storage, we now have the ability to run the software that
we write in Google’s data centers.
● Google App Engine is cloud computing technology. Google App
Engine is
software that facilitates the user to run his web applications on Google
infrastructure. It is more reliable because failure of any server will not affect
either the performance of the end user or the service of the Google.
It virtualizes applications across multiple servers and data centers. Other cloud-
based platforms include offerings such as Amazon Web

Blogging

Blogger
Wordpress Example Blog
Typepad
* Wikies- information space
Wikis are web sites that can be edited online. Wiki
software allows the creators of a website to allow viewers
to edit all or part of their site.
The most well known Wiki is Wikipedia an online
encyclopedia.
Users can create their own Wikis with free or
commercially available software. One popular free
product is PB Wiki which claims one can "make a free
wiki as easily as making a peanut butter sandwich."
Wikipedia has a comparison chart of wiki software
available on their wiki.
* Content Aggregation and Tagging
Content Aggregators are web sites on which users can
organize sources of information. Intelligent and
programmable agents can help users find new sources
of information to add to their site. In fact these agents
can help users keep the information on their sites
current.
Two popular Content Aggregators is Delicious and Furl.
In addition, companies and special interest groups do
content aggregation as a service. Sometimes this service
is for sale.
* RSS
RSS (Real Simple Syndication) is one example of a
content aggregator. Syndication is a means of sharing
information across the Internet. Users subscribe to
syndication’s feeds which route content directly to email
or website. Many Web sites provide RSS feeds to which
users can subscribe.
Visit the MDDE663 RSS Portal for more information.
* Learning Objects
Another emerging trend in the development of content is
that of Learning Objects.
A learning object is a piece of digital content that can be
used as a stand-alone unit of instruction. The purpose of
developing learning objects is to simplify the reuse and
re-purposing of courseware. The idea is not new.
Instructors and professors have for years reused pieces
of instruction in new courses, in papers, and in
presentations. What is new is the idea of creating objects
in a standards compliant format.
An Example
* Immersive Learning
Example
Immersive environments combine the power of
information and communication on the Web in creating
virtual worlds. Users in these worlds can create
characters who walk around and participate in a virtual
community. Second Life is an example of one of these
virtual communities.
Active Worlds is another. Companies and schools can
create their own instances of a virtual community to
achieve specific educational goals.
Immersive environments are an example of
