Have you discovered (or created) the perfect tool to assist you in your
online work? Are there tools you need but have yet to unearth?
The TeleTools and Needs Exchange, facilitated by Shawna Reibling and
Michelle Daly, begins today and runs through 25 November. This GEN seminar
is a follow up to the TeleLearning 2001 conference in Vancouver, and builds
on last week's Practical Web Tools for Educators seminar led by Sue Roseman.

We are entering Week 2 of Metadata for Learning Objects, facilitated by Rory

peer-to-peer exchange of learning objects by learners, instructors, and
course developers, will change the way we work. Join us to learn about
metadata, and to address technical and social issues.

processes? During this 3-week seminar, Osmar Zaiane, Assistant Professor in
the Department of Computing Science, University of Alberta, will help GEN
members to understand the processes and possibilities of data mining
techniques for web-based learning environments.
