Happy New Year
Happy new year to everyone from Cannes, France. Just stopped by to visit friends and colleagues here, en route to London next week to exhibit at the Bett 2008 technology education show. We have a small stand (SW140), where I'll be looking for feedback on tutorom and vtc.com. Feel free to drop by and chat. Then onwards at the end of the week for Macworld in San Francisco where we will be demoing tutorom and vtc products. Mohan, Mathew and Dhanesh (developers on tutorom.com) will be with us from VTC India,as well as staff from VTC USA.
Having a break is always good for new ideas to come up, so here are a few that we shall probably implement...
* lesson browsing and addition from tutorom - we will then add content from around the web for you to assemble into courses or just to browse and learn.
* project manager added to admin menu on tutorom to help you build and collaborate.
* standalone version of tutorom (with all vtc educational content included) for download
* on vtc.com, addition of menu for community features - forum, chat and "ask your question", to be answered in text or video format if warranted.
* facebook application for vtc, so you can login and play content directly.
We have another 7 lesson types about to be added, including question and answer, a picture/audio slidemaker, ppt to swf converter, blog/journal, a simulation type, a poll/survey and a language lesson type. Using that last lesson type, we will also be creating English learning courses.
So, lots on the go...see you at either Bett or Macworld. After that flurry of shows, I am headed back to Maverick Dream in Aruba, preparing to cross the Panama Canal and prepare the boat for crossing the Pacific.
