Its began exactly 6 months that I surrender myself to a new school. A school that I had never heard and experienced before. There were not pre-requisites for this, but was equally exciting and challenging. Let me tell you my experience here has been out of the world. historically Migration has brought ripples in human development and culture.
It is great to shift from Web 2.0 to E learning 2.0.
So far this journey has brought challenges and learning and i love both.

Its been a long while that I have not updated my blog. Let me break the ice today, all these days I was wondering what is that my blog talks about unique. I did not want it to be all the things in the world, Yes that could be in a way that it includes diverse things that I have experienced and gone through, but I strongly feel that, it should spread expertise and experience in a particular domain....... I thought and thought and thought.........and finally I said why not the have a topic that I work on and I am into............Yes that e learning. Yes I am a part of the e learning industry and I would like share my thoughts and insights around this. OK! let me start with an LMS news then...For all newbies LMS is a Learning Management System.

Await for the Blackboard's Angel acquisition post of mine, with a link to the video having the interview of Bb folk!!!

All these days I have been reading and understanding all about Linux. (pronounce it as Lee and not Lie) I started working on a Ubuntu Platform. I also tried it different flavours like kubuntu, edubuntu and then there are many more. My experience with working on these platforms was awesome. I really enjoyed it. the best part about these operating systems is, you do not need to wipe out your windows you can still try them our with what is called the live CD, this is a bootable CD nd can directly run, though it is a bit slow in running, but you get the taste of the Operating system,before even loading it.

There are many links to find out more information about these.
