White Tailed Seas Eagles have Landed
Watching the osprey nests at Boat of Garten and Loch of the Lowes is spectacular, so when I read news that another 20 white tailed sea eagle chicks have been brought over from Norway I am impressed.
These birds of prey are awesome.

Kennys New Book
Kenneth Fees new book - Delivering E-Learning: a complete strategy for design, application and assessment - was published on 03 April 2009, and is available on Amazon.
Some of the issue Kenny expects to be a bit controversial, and stir up some interest include:
1. A new way of understanding e-learning, as an approach that encompasses all new methods of learning utilising digital technology.
2. Identification of five distinct models of e-learning – and there may be more.
3. A matrix for considering the impact of different kinds of e-learning.
4. A call for more strategic thinking about e-learning.
5. Condemnation of techies for overuse of misleading jargon.
6. Condemnation of e-learning vendors for misleading clients and “vandalising the market”.
7. Dismissal of e-learning technology standards as largely irrelevant.
8. A new model for e-learning design – the “route map”.
Other interesting features of the book include: foreword by Bill McGrath; a “virtual round table” discussion; an illustrative project; a glossary of technical terms; consideration of how to evaluate e-learning; an annotated bibliography; and a look at what the future may hold.
Also, it seems that I get a mention!
Also of interest, it looks like Kennys re-introduced the "-".

Mobile e-Learning
The iPhone (and other mobile devices) give learning experts a new platform to disperse their wares, but you'd need to be a real techy to have any idea about how to effectively use the medium. Until now that is - step up SumTotal.
SumTotal have released a beta version of ToolBook 9.5 which allows you to create content specifically for the iPhone. Could this be a real killer combination.
Further details from the ToolBook blog.
