Great Online Learner: June 2008
http://greatonlinelearner.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Friday, June 6, 2008. A Little Example of Learning. Online learning means a lot of different things depending on whom you ask.

Saturday, February 27, 2010. This Just In: Free Image Editing on the Web. My professor pal, Dr. Jason Rhode, just sent me a heads up on Aviary.
