If a report sounds like waffle and jargon...

... it often means it is just waffle!

• Do you read reports that splash long, complex sounding, words everywhere?
• Do they seem to make no sense?
• Do they sound like waffle?

If you answered yes to each one of these then the author probably is waffling, and has nothing useful to say.

A useful report will have clear conclusions (and recommendations).  It demonstrates that the author is confident in that subject, and has discovered new knowledge.

Tips: 
Check the report's abstract, and if it makes sense then check the conclusions.  If the conclusions are interesting and relevant then read the report; else don't bother.

Write reports in plain english. 

Be clear about your conclusions and recommendations.

Open App Store from Mozilla

Currently, it's impractical for many indivuals and small organisations to develop e-learning apps for the wide range of mobile and web devices out there.  However, this may change all of that...

"...
Firefox daddy Mozllla has released early code in its campaign to create a completely open alternative not only to Apple's app stores but also Google's fledging Chrome web store.

...

Mozilla's Web Applications model takes development in a different direction. The open sourcers state a Web App store built using its architecture should exclusively host applications built on HTML5, CSS, Javascript, and other "widely implemented open standards in modern browsers - to avoid interoperability, portability and lock-in issues."

The idea is to be able to things like launch a Web Application with a single click or share your contacts with Web Applications using any device or browser.

Quality of collaborative and individual learning in virtual learning environments

"The quality of individual learning was superior to that of collaborative learning."

... if you ever really wondered.


"In evaluating students learning processes it was found that major factors hindering such learning were tutors' lack of appropriate degree of input and directions"

... and no surprise here too.
