Devin,
Since there seems to be scarce interest on behalf of our faculty to support the programs I have developed through 20 years, perhaps I should give them away free, at least to Revolution's educational community. All the time I have worked firmly convinced that they may prove most useful for the learning. This has been confirmed by some of the students, but most part of them seem not to have worked with them. However, in recent years I have no idea about how much they have worked with the programs, since the link to downloading the portal stack is available in their students' network (or whatever it is called) and they probably work with them at home.

I still think the way they are distributed is fabulous, just one downloading of the portal stack (which I call the menu stack). If you want to have a look at the Italian programs, here is the link: http:// www.hf.uib.no/mlab/ItaMP/mcIta.html. User: studita Password: itafj

As to a repository, isn't that what Marielle is trying to do something about?

Signe,

I'd be interested in hearing more about this. I'm developing a similar approach with Rev, which I'm calling the Learning Web. You can take a look at it by downloading the beta version at

Mac OS X: http://asay.byu.edu/LW_MacOSX.dmg
Windows: http://asay.byu.edu/LW_setup.exe

A couple of people on the list have allowed me to link to stacks they've created as a demonstration of the concept. There are also links to a couple of stacks I've created and one that one of my students did.

We ought to explore the creation of a repository of web-based instructional stacks that could be run in this way.

Tell me what you think.
