Course websites. Roll your own, or use course-ware? MIT Open Course Ware. Seems sweet, simple to me.
WebCT, for on-campus courses, seems almost oppressive, like you are joining a club, a society, dedicated to this format of learning. The good is the course infrastructure. The bad is over-invovlement in infrastructure and the WebCT infterface in chat, and email. Not clear on cost, support, learning curve, etc, but worth evaluating when it is available on campus. Other names in the biz: Blackboard and Course Compass.
Wireless and Palm on campus! I happened onto the Wifi Confrence at Case Western Reserve, live, via streaming video, and caught the Palm people demoing Tungsten W, the cell/PDA/+++ , and talking batteries-of-the future, displays of the future, and $Gbyte SD Memory cards. The uses seemed passive tho'; students surfing, downloading ebooks, videos, and little about publishing. I want to publish from my TungstenW with keyboard, weblogging, and even better, minor editing of websites.
