Elearning industry, Top Ten Trends in E Learning
Spreading of knowledge has never been easier. Communication technology has opened up several opportunities for people to be part of the global economy, irrespective of where they live. Very soon there will be highly educated people from all parts of the globe and this is a healthy change.
The concept of e-learning has brought about major changes in the way people look at education. Learning is not just confined to the four walls of a classroom anymore. A disabled person can sit in front of his computer and be educated in any stream he wishes to. If we look at the avenues this new education system opens up, it is certainly a boon to those millions of students worldwide, who for their own reasons cannot go to school or college.
Previously, getting into big universities like Harvard was unthinkable for most youngsters, but now the lectures from these universities are available online, including discussion groups and even examinations. A student can obtain a degree from one of the top universities, studying and giving his exams from home. A wonderful opportunity for higher education is available to people from all over.

Yesterday Night, I upgraded my another blog to WP 2.5 and Today morning updating my old cheery was on my To Do List.
I have been using WordPress as my blogging software and I yesterday I found that WP has finally released version 2.5. I have been following some posts about this and there has been a lot of talk about this release.
This is one of the major release with features like multi-file uploading, one-click plugin upgrades, built-in galleries, customizable dashboard, salted passwords and cookie encryption, media library, a WYSIWYG that doesn’t mess with your code, concurrent post editing protection, full-screen writing, and search that covers posts and pages.
As expected, the upgrade went smoothly apart from the fact that few of my plugins stopped working after the upgrade. But that was something expected. Not a big problem, I can try to fix this later, but the new version does look good indeed. For anyone currently on WordPress, its definitely worth upgrading.
web2.0, wordpress 2.5
BBC has just launched a new home page at http://www.bbc.co.uk/ - you can customize almost every section on the site to match your topics of interest.
The Beta version was launched in December for Test. Everyone has given a positive feedback on the new design and functionality.
Don’t like reading Sports news - push that module down or remove it complete from the home page. Think the color scheme is too simple, pick a different one from the presets. Want more news from South Asia - you can set that as a preference.
The site is more IE friendly and there were a few rough edges while making customizations inside Firefox.
Nevertheless, the new design is beautiful and very usable. This year we will probably see some more prominent news website following the BBC model.

Today, I got a reference from one of my friend who is really impressed with TNXDotNet. It’s a new system which combines the benefits of Contextual Advertising, Text Link Brokers and Relevant Exchange of permanent non-reciprocal text links.
Few of the main highlights of this system which I have noticed, this is not all about Home Page advertisement not it’s about the advertisers who chooses you. The flexibility is with the Webmasters who can extend their campaign to the internal pages as well. This would help them to add few more extra $$$ into their pocket.
The Good part about the system is the power is vested with the Webmaster only; i.e. they can choose their advertisers as per their industry and specialization and can only place links which are relevant to their pages. I have also found a discussion on the topic in Digital Point Forums.There is Special Offer running on TNX, find the details here.
Their overall campaign is well supported with the affiliate program through which you can earn bit more.I have registered my site to see how things work and I am very much comfortable with the system they have designed for the Webmasters and Advertisers. And their traffic trend suggests they are getting popular very fast.
My Suggestions: They need to authenticate the User Registration. This would help them to keep their system clean and will surely reduce spam.
Contextual Advertising, tnx
