Hello everyone!

We would like to share a few links to interesting and useful websites. We hope you will find them helpful. Please see below.

It’s worth looking at Academic Earth a website containing thousands of free, post-secondary lectures. This site gives the options to either download the lectures on iPod or copy and paste them directly into your website.

On the next website you will be able to find “Top 100 language and education blogs”. Please visit LexioPhiles to find out more details.

For book enthusiast we can recommend “The Tower and The Cloud - Higher Education in the Age of Cloud Computing”. On www.educase.edu you will be able to either order the book or access the whole book online in pdf format. Some other interesting e-learning articles can be found on this website as well.

Please check www.britannica.com for different blogs grouped into categories. We recommend the Education area in particular. This is how Britannica describes this site: “Britannica Blog is a place for smart, lively conversations about a broad range of topics. Art, science, history, current events – it’s all grist for the mill. We’ve given our writers encouragement and a lot of freedom, so the opinions here are theirs, not the company’s. Please jump in and add your own thoughts.”

If you are interested in getting some multimedia training online simply click on http://www.multimediatrainingvideos.com/ and choose from: Director Videos, Flash Videos, Introduction to Photoshop and Useful Tools for Students. There is similar site for teachers, please go to http://www.teachertrainingvideos.com/

Make sure you’ve got plenty of time and enjoy!
