PlayPosit - Interactive Videos



Josh Lund from FITS just shared a very intriguing resource with me: PlayPosit, which allows educators to create videos with embedded quizzes. PlayPosit appears to be a free service, with paid premium options.

For the right faculty, this looks like a great option to ensure that students are following along with the content for their videos.

Microsoft Announced Recall of Microsoft Surface Power Cords

Surface Pro Powercord

Although I am happiest using a MacBook, I was impressed by Microsoft's Surface Pro, and now use a Surface Pro 1 and 3 from time to time.

Microsoft recently announced a recall of Microsoft Surface power cords. Full details are here:

If you are a fellow Surface Pro owner I would highly recommend that you check to see if you need the replacement power cord. Microsoft will send you one power cord free of charge (n0 pun intended).

Open Syllabus Project

syllabus explorer

Steve Kelly shared information about the Open Syllabus Project and Syllabus Explorer this week. The Syllabus Explorer takes more than 1,000,000 syllabi published on university websites and then attempts to work out the most frequently-taught books. Well worth taking a look.
