• PLATO Got me interested in computers

  PLATO – Program Logic for Automatic Teaching Operation was installed in the Basement of the G Lecture Hall at UIC, then known as “Circle” when I was attending.

• Most important piece on new business that I’ve read lately.

The wink and then the no bid contract to the friend, political ally, or somebody’s relative. It is not nickle and dime’ing us, […]

• Integrating Social Media into Online Education – biverson@gmail.com

  From a short article by John Orlando, PhD, from “Faculty Focus” newsletter (I added the boldface.) But few colleges have a social media strategy. The assumption is still that all content must be housed within the LMS. Systems such as Blackboard are adding social media modules like blogs and wikis, but moving them into the […]
