Some interesting things (and sites) I found out about at the eLearn Conference in Washington, DC (NOV 2004)

Reuse
http://www.reusablelearning.org
I took a half-day workshop regarding reusability of learning resources. The workshop was delivered by Robbie Robson who chairs the IEEE Standards Committee and is connected with the National Science Digital Library This is a very important movement in education. This site has a good deal information on that topic. A PowerPoint and other materials can be downloaded from:

Small Talk
http://www.landware.com/smalltalk/
From the web site:
“Small Talk is a software application for Palm OS handheld devices. More than just a phrase book or a dictionary, Small Talk allows you to engage in a real conversation with another person, even if you don't speak the same language.”

CSS Zen Garden
http://www.csszengarden.com/
Shows what is possible with cascading style sheets. The same content is portrayed different ways by graphic designers using CSSs.

Math.com
http://www.math.com/
An excellent site that chunks each subtopic into 4 different levels of engagement. It also is an first-rate example of how to phrase copyright language for content you are willing to share . but not give away all rights to.

ADL, SCORM, and CORDRA
www.adlnet.org
Robert Wisher, director of the Advanced Distributed Learning Initiative, delivered an interesting overview of ADL initiatives, particularly SCORM for interoperability and CORDRA for content repositories. Powerpoint can be downloaded from:

The Gamer’s Directory
http://www.gamescanner.com/
This site has just about every link related to computer gaming. It’s great!!! Somehow, I had not come in contact with it. I guess it’s my age.
