Since its founding in 1987, USDLA has consistently emphasized the importance of professional growth within the distance education community. The DLAB program is a logical next step toward that goal, both by advancing the industry and enhancing USDLA. | | hits: | 6757 | | Added on: | 07-Jun-2006 | | Comments: | 0 |

| Category: | Start / Accessibility Guidelines | | Description: | The web has been a boon to the free flow of information, for some people. For others, accessing web-based information has been and in some cases needlessly continues to be a frustrating and nearly impossible endeavor. Changes to the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Rehabilitation Act require campus websites to be accessible to people with disabilities. These laws say that access to web-based or other technologically mediated communication is a right for everyone, regardless of any disability.

| Category: | Start / Podcasting | | Description: | Everyone loves quizzes and iPodQuizMaker software provides an easy to use wizard to produce multiple-choice quizzes that can be used in your courses or just for fun. The software allows you to include hot links to video, or sound files all from their iPod.
The latest version of the software provides you with an opportunity to monetize your quizzes by allowing to you package them in the 'hyperbook' format that can be published/distributed to learners/customers through online stores like Distance-Educator.com or eBay.
The "PodQuizzes" produced using this software provides support for iPod's interactive functionality. And the engine embedded in the 'hyperBook' enhances these capabilities. The greatest thing is you don't have to be a programmer to create your quizzes -- but don't take my word for it -- download the free trial and see for yourself. | | hits: | 2536 | | Added on: | 05-Jun-2007 | | Comments: | 0 |

In just about every country, a certain percentage of people has the best information technology that society has to offer. These people have the most powerful computers, the best telephone service and fastest Internet service, as well as a wealth of content and training relevant to their lives.
There is another group of people. They are the people who for one reason or another don’t have access to the newest or best computers, the most reliable telephone service or the fastest or most convenient Internet services. The difference between these two groups of people is what we call the Digital Divide.
