W. Brian Whalley replied to Dwayne Harapnuik's discussion Introductions"Agreed. Moodle does seem to have a more educator-friendly base but still top down. Is there any movement towards Personal Learning Environments (PLEs) in the US? Maybe I should explain a bit more out a project related to PLEs for which we have some…"
Dwayne Harapnuik replied to Dwayne Harapnuik's discussion Introductions"Moodle is definitely gaining ground in the US but not at the same rate as it is in Canada. For example nearly half of the 22 HE institutions in the Province of Alberta have moved partially or completely to Moodle. I see this as a lateral move…"
W. Brian Whalley replied to Dwayne Harapnuik's discussion Introductions"Two educational cultures separated by different TLAs (Three Letter Acronyms)! I prefer CMS = Content Management System as in (heaven help us) MS Sharepoint. I mention this because our university has developed a new Virtual Learning Environment using…"

Paul Aspel commented on Dwayne Harapnuik's blog post Kindle Failed Tests at Several Colleges. Will iPads Do Better?"Hi Dwayne, have you heard of any research (or results of) thats been done with the iPad yet? I've been using it for a few months now and it's become a close friend and ally at work and at home.

Dwayne Harapnuik replied to Kenny Jones's discussion Interesting article on iPad's depute in Japan in the group iPad Users Group"I really hope that we start to see some genuine and significant competition for the iPad. This will not only force apple to NOT sit back and relax but force them to continue to innovate. I have been using the iPad on a recen trip and the large…"
Kenny Jones commented on Dwayne Harapnuik's blog post Kindle Failed Tests at Several Colleges. Will iPads Do Better?"The iPad could succeed where the Kindle failed if it offers a richer interface experience, these might be defined as the following:
1. if it is aesthetically evocative, in a way parallel to a beautifully designed book.
2. if it can engage the…"
