eFront Learning: Introduction to Evaluation in e-Learning Evaluation is the key component of any e-Learning course or program that focuses on continuous improvement. Several professionals involved in the e-Learning industry asked me to provide them a set of resources around the evaluation in e-Learning.Evaluation enables us to:determine the quality, effectiveness, and continuous improvement of the e-Learning,understand the pros and cons of the e-Learning courses or programs, andmake improvements. This post is the first of a series of posts concerning evaluation in e-Learning and I will focus on the introduction to evaluation in e-Learning.

Before the e-Learning (needs assessment) to plan e-LearningDuring the e-Learning (formative evaluation) to make improvements, andAfter the e-Learning (summative evaluation) to determine outcomes. Here is a list that will introduce you to the evaluation in e-Learning by Christopher Pappas M.B.A., M.Ed.

Consumer Broadband Test - Broadband.gov The FCC is collecting and storing street addresses, IP addresses, and broadband performance information through these speed tests. (The FCC is not collecting email addresses through these speed tests.) The street addresses will not be released, disclosed to the public, or shared with any outside entities, including M-Lab, except in the limited circumstances described in the Consumer Broadband Test Privacy Statement. By taking this test, you will help the FCC learn about the state of broadband in the U.S. Note: the M-Lab application currently does not work with Safari, Chrome, and Opera web browsers. This application will transfer a small temporary file back and forth to test the quality of your broadband connection: Download Speed: The speed at which data is sent from the testing server to your computer. The test will run on the M-Lab platform. Read Measuring Broadband America, the first nationwide performance study of residential wireline broadband service in the United States.

Formatting ebooks - EPUB Straight to the Point When Apple presented iBooks on the iPad on January 27, 2010, I was very excited to see that they had adopted the standard EPUB format. But I especially wanted to know how they had created the beautiful EPUB format of Winnie the Pooh, and how they made it look so lovely on that gorgeous iPad. I decided to write a book on how to create EPUB format ebooks. My book about creating ebooks in EPUB format has garnered rave reviews. EPUB Straight to the Point explains how to create ebooks in the standard EPUB format, starting with tools you may already be familiar with: Microsoft Word and Adobe InDesign, and how to use either one (not to mention the documents you may already have in those formats) to generate the files necessary for creating an EPUB format ebook. In the last chapter, the book explains how to take full advantage of the formatting strengths of EPUB, while taking into account the quirks of the iBooks ereader app on the iPad.

Speed Test Why do I get a “socket error” message? An error may result from having the speed test open in more than one browser tab or window. The test may fail to complete and display the following message: “A socket error occurred during the Upload test. To prevent this error, and get the most accurate test results, close all other browser tabs and windows before running. If you continue to get a socket error message, or another type of error message, please provide feedback by emailing us at speedtestfeedback@fusionconnect.com. Why is the location I usually pick missing from the City list? A slow response can be caused by latency or packet-loss between the client and server, or particularly high Internet usage (during peak hours). In which browsers does the Speed Test work best? Why am I receiving “Could not connect to the Internet” errors when I am connected? Why didn’t the test choose the server location nearest me? Why is my speed lower than expected?

The Android SDK Manager should appear. Erica told me to choose the "Android SDK Platform-tools" box and deselect everything else.
