		<description>Hello John,

How deep SharePoint Learning Kit was integrated into the learning process? Is it successful? What are the main points (parts) of the eLearning solution are  used in the learning process?

Have you tried another developed by ElearningForce company commercial LMS for SharePoint - SharePointLMS (http://www.sharepointlms.com) ? They offer both BB and SLK  -&#62; SharePointLMS convertors also.

Recently Microsoft pays a lot of attention to this tool and help them with marketing and spreading as an educational solution for MOSS 2007 platform...</description>

		<description>Good point and it's a point of conversation both Beverly and Norah mentioned in my interviews, but I have been trying to keep the chats within 10 minutes limits and therefore very narrowly focused. It is surely worth a chat on it's own. Interested?

Thanks for the mention of your book. I spent several minutes reading parts of it this morning - I love the ability to search inside certain books at Google. Thanks for making your work search capable.  I like the point about "education is communicating" and "communicating is talking and listening." Reminds me of Dewey and Whitehead. But my favorite quote is from page 58, "Professors need to know how to interact with students." 

This is true both in the traditional face-to-face classroom and even more so in the online class. Interaction, both student-teacher and student-student, are two of the seven points in Chickering and Gamson's principles of good practice. 

As a former math professor, I am very intrigued by the table of contents of your book. You give many examples from math and science in applying your philosophy of education. I look forward to getting a copy and reading in depth.</description>

		<description>Of course learning is more than knowledge acquisition. We teachers must understand how students think. See "Teaching and Helping Students Think and Do Better" on amazon.</description>
