- View an
80-seconds screencast showing how a teacher can set up a student activity where students are only allowed to access on web site. - In this example, the website is a common dictionary: http://www.dict.cc which the student will be allowed to access during an exam (in lieu of a paper dictionary policy).
- Never mind that the voiceover is partially in German – the video should be self-explanatory. If not, here is a written step-by-step on Sanako controlled webbrowsing.
How to troubleshoot network share and thumb drive disk space issues with WinDirStat

- There are many such tools, but WinDirStat has served me well, and it is free.
- Especially useful seems the treemap visualization and that you can drill in per file type, from the upper right pane, and to a file location from the tree map,. like so:
- Similarly useful on not-shared, but limited-storage drives, e.g. for deduplicating, like so:
- This detailed tutorial (which, incidentally, uses WinDirStat, can give you a list of ideas/folders where it is worthwhile checking the WinDirStat results (although one of the nice features of WinDirStat is that it sorts folders and an aggregate of the files in a folder by size).

- “THATCamp stands for “The Humanities and Technology Camp.” It’s an unconference: an open, inexpensive meeting where humanists and technologists of all skill levels learn and build together in sessions proposed on the spot.
- If you’re interested in the Humanities; or,
- if you’ve just begun thinking about your research or teaching in conjunction with technology; or,
- if you’re accomplished using or interpreting technology; or,
- if you’ve been wondering why the digital humanities have been garnering so much attention at professional conventions…
- …you will likely find it fascinating to participate in the THATCamp we are hosting here.
- Participants meet the morning of the event and decide what to talk about.”
- Limit: 75 registrations.

Find open access research on teaching modern foreign languages with Yazik Open
2012/03/28

An inititative of an expert from the UK LLAS, Yazik Open has the potential to become a welcome addition to our SLA research search options, especially if you do not want to run into a pay wall after finding an interesting abstract.
The currently sole contributor seems to be admin – same problem I had when I started a language learning resource links database in 1998, when will this change?
The keyword list looks somewhat rudimentary – when I worked with LLAS on a language learning resource metadata schema, complexity led to a grinding halt.
So the need to bring some of the advances in technologically fostered collaboration and information exchange to domain-specific fields like SLA certainly remains to be felt here.
