in Journal of Online Learning and Teaching, Vol. 10, No. 1, March 2014, Aimee deNoyelles, Janet Mannheimer Zydney, Baiyun Chen. Abstract Asynchronous discussions are often utilized in online courses to provide a venue for students to openly communicate and build shared understanding, and for instructors to skillfully facilitate the process. While discussions can be invaluable toward creating and sustaining an online community of inquiry (CoI), they are not effective if not optimally designed. It is the authors’ position that it is helpful to identify research-proven online discussion strategies and conceptualize them into the CoI framework, which has been extensively studied and validated. This framework posits that there are three interrelated presences – social, cognitive, and teaching – that must be perceived by members in order to facilitate a successful educational experience.

Hyper-V Remote Management: Workgroup Vista Client to Domain-Bound Server » Danny Thorpe
So here I am configuring my dev machine in Redmond from my laptop in my home office in Santa Cruz. I’m all VPN’d and security card authenticated up the wazoo, installing this and configuring that on the dev machine via Remote Desktop. (Praise be to RD!) I get Hyper-V set up on the dev machine so I can create and destroy virtual machine configurations with impunity while developing and testing on beta stuff. I create a new VM in Hyper-V, allocate some RAM and HD to it, and tell it to boot off the network so I can install a stock Vista configuration from corpnet (corpnet does have some pretty cool services now and then). It boots up, and I can see in the little thumbnail that something is alive in there.

Configuring and Understanding Zsh
There are many boring tasks we repeat day after day: creating, copying, moving or searching files, launching again and again the same tools, docker containers, and whatnot.

The first time you open your terminal and write rails new the sheer number of files and folders that are created can be overwhelming. You may even work on numerous Rails projects without ever opening many of these folders - so what exactly are they? What are they doing behind the scenes? Well, the truth is that you don’t need many of them and Rails has several flags built into the new command which will allow you to create a new project without some of the built-in defaults of Rails (to learn more just type out rails new —help). That said, for most projects you’ll be running rails new and creating a beastly project folder.
Optware/ipkg on Synology DS211+
ModdingNote that the following covers the DS211+ device, which is characterized by being based on the Marvell Kirkwood mv6282 ARM core (1.6Ghz version of 1.2Ghz mv6281). AFAIK the content of this blog entry should be equally applicable to all DS211 variations, but you should consult the Synology wiki for your device to be certain. While quite feature rich out-of-the-box, developer types will likely want to make their NAS do even more, either out of a real need or just to tinker. For instance, I eventually plan to connect my USB weather station and generate live charts. Because of the modding desire, Synology has a faily comprehensive wiki about the subject. To make a long story short, ease of modding is greatly assisted by the possibility of installing Optware package manager.
