The Australasian Society for Computers in Learning in Tertiary Education (ascilite) provides a forum to stimulate discussion of relevant issues in the educational use of technology, including interactive multimedia. The Society also promotes research and evaluation.

Their blog archives include a library of podcasts about a wide variety of topics, including how learning objects are used, mobile devices in practice, and online assessment and feedback.

One such podcast features Stephen Rowe from Australia’s Southern Cross University who discuss audiographics teaching in a business faculty. Of course, we’re pleased that Elluminate Live! is the application of choice.

Here’s a new blog called EdTechWays. It’s specifically about the use of educational technology in biomedical and health institutions in a graduate and post-graduate setting. Although just starting out as a presentation platform for students in a specific class at UT Southwestern Medical Center, I think it’s one to watch.

The March 2 blog entry lists Elluminate customer, the University of Kansas Medical Center, as a key resource for tips for instructors to consider when using eLearning tools. One of Elluminate’s 2007 Center of Excellence winners, KUMC delivers synchronous course content nationwide for students in its Allied Health, Medicine, and Nursing Schools.
