[ED-TECH] Survey on education for sustainable development

Greetings ...

A survey on education for sustainable development, test version 1.5, is
online. The objective is to gather an inventory of critical issues that
frequently emerge in sustainable development. Many issues that emerge
from the interaction between social, economic, environmental, and other
factors are already included, but there are many more to be identified.

This is the link:

[ED-TECH] Advisement/registration system ideas

Ed-Tech members,

I was asked to generate ideas for an improved advisement/registration system. The vision is to create something as useful as Amazon.com. If Amazon can keep track of what I have ordered and make recommendations based on my viewing and order history, shouldn't the system students use to build a schedule be able to do some things like that, too? This has really been fun, so far, and I have enjoyed talking with people about various features or capabilities they would like to see.

If you would like to be part of this process, please let me know. I am using a service called e-tipi, and I will be happy to invite you to join the group so we can add ideas, comment on ideas, vote for ideas, and come up with an amazing system, at least on paper.

If you REPLY to this e-mail, please change the address to bill.vilberg@miami.edu so everyone doesn't see all the volunteers. I don't want to flood mailboxes with "Add me, too" messages.
