@ Marco: Go to the home page and click on link in the upper right. It lets you subscribe thru Feedburner. One of my students said he’d subscribed to the site through that link in just the past day or two.

I just looked at your RSS feed and it gave me an error. Can you post your RSS feed url when you have a chance? I don’t check email very often.

Lordie! So it does. Who’d've thunk it?

Not only that, but the crazy olive-oil hair conditioner piece has a PageRank of 2!!!!

Astonishing.

Wonder what else we can do with olive oil….

I hadn’t read about your adventures in online courses at GDU. That was my one bright spot as a TA there; I got my teaching professor (an overworked, underpaid adjunct who had only slightly higher status because he agreed to more work as an undergrad adviser) set up to teach online. If there isn’t any writing to be graded it’s a huge time saver for professor and TA, but ultimately just a nifty rubber stamping machine. We had one upper level class with roughly 500 students enrolled and it actually saved us time.

The one thing I liked is the huge amount of support for the administration we got (shocking, I know) for our efforts. If you were willing to play ball, you could get meetings with the coolest tech guys. And ultimately it did make the prof a bit more money because he was able to take on a larger teaching load without actually living in his office.
