Got Worship?
Submitted by nivins on Thu, 01/05/2012 - 09:05As with the technology tools that we at Learning Technologies develop, we are always looking for resources that are free and easy to use or access. Well, ChristianCourses.com is one of those places where you can get great theological courses for free. I just received an e-mail announcing their latest course. Check it out!
Though the Psalms were written thousands of years ago, their words still have relevance today. Discover new insight into how the Proverbs and Psalms deal with issues of everyday life in the course Proverbs – Psalms: Singing the Sounds of Real Life (OT222) taught by Professor Douglas K. Stuart from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary.
Learning DEScribe Session 3 - Getting to Know It
Submitted by jmanley on Fri, 09/11/2009 - 10:40Now comes the fun of poking around a new program.
Connecting again from the coffee shop, I found DEScribe listed in the Program menu. After opening and loading, I created a project entitled, “How to Blog on the MAF-LT Website.” But that seemed too long. “How to Blog” sounded better.
I couldn’t find any easy way to rename the project, so closed the project, opened Windows Explorer and navigated to a folder entitled, “My DEScribe Projects.” Under that folder, I found my project and renamed it, “How to Blog.” That folder contains two items: a sub-folder called, “My Package” (holds the project assets), and the master project file named, “How to Blog.ltproj." When I reopened DEScribe, clicked on the File menu and then “Open Project”, my project “How to Blog” sat there ready to use (At this point, notice came that version 1.2.4.0 was available for download. My comments reflect that upgrade.)
Learning DEScribe Session 2 - Download and Install
Submitted by jmanley on Fri, 08/14/2009 - 15:15Today, I came to the MAFLT website via the WiFi link at a local coffee shop. Once at the site I did not login as administrator. Instead, I viewed it as “the public” would see it. I wanted to confirm your experience of downloading and installing DEScribe without any special insider tricks. I navigated to the DEScribe page via the Products tab then clicked on the DEScribe link. By the way, the correct pronunciation is “D - E - Scribe” which includes word play for “DE” as a moniker for Distance Education and “Scribe” as an ancient writer.
I clicked first on the “Training Materials” link and got a surprise - the site asked me for another user name and password. After a couple of quick back-and-forths I read the text below the links to discover instructions that included the required codes. At this point I doffed my outside user hat, logged in as the administrator and edited the instructions. Now, it’s clear before clicking the links that registration is required.
