February...

I'm back in Australia now, after having transited the Panama canal with Maverick Dream. Meanwhile, tutorom has some new lesson types and we are about to install a couple of new servers for on2 video/flash conversion and for powerpoint/flash conversion. We've also developed live audio recording and capture and this will go public shortly. I wasn't happy with the user interface for the media browser so a few changes coming for that, as well as a lessons page area similar to the files area.

We've designed tutorom as an online lcms, with a standalone application coming later this year, but we are also working on a new site called eduslide.com, which will be a personal learning environment. Using similar tools as tutorom to create and aggregate content, it won't have a course structure as such. It will be a loose collection of your own learning content, which you can share with others if you want. This should not take too long to create since most of the work has already been done via tutorom. I'm looking forward to sharing the ideas with you as we build it.

For vtc, we've just developed some cool flash widgets to play free movies and see what's on offer. These also work with the affiliate system, so if you have registered as an affiliate and then add your affiliate code to the widget, you'll get 20% of resulting signups when anyone clicks on Learn More or any of the buttons coming to the vtc site.
