Stratepedia News Archives
We lost building power for a little while earlier today--unfortunately I was away from the office when it happened. Everything's back up and running now. Sorry for any inconveniences--let me know if anything seems amiss.
I've got to do some work on Dossier's server this evening which may require me to shut down the site for a bit, starting around 6:00 CDT. I'll have things back up and running as quickly as possible.
Our grand experiment in online peer support is drawing to a close, but there are still plenty of other ways to get help with Stratepedia. Plus: New documentation coming!
The Stratepedia Learning Labs and other developmental Moodle sites (you know who you are) will be offline for maintenance at various times today.
Hello!
Whether or not you were able to attend our session last week at the SIM International Conference, I'd like to share our presentation slides with you.
You can access the PDF version here:

Here are the slides Amber and I used for our first presentation last Thursday.
We'll be sharing the handouts for our sessions on this blog. If things go to plan we might even have some video to share--if you haven't already done so, take a minute to subscribe to Hello and be the first to find out when they're available!

We're headed to Kansas City! Whether you're already on the way or already there, make note of these times to stop and say hi. Also: Did somebody say something about candy?
I've had some changes ready to apply to Depot sitting on the back burner for awhile--in the interest of getting them in place in plenty of time for the conference I'm planning to push them out to the server over the holiday weekend. Downtime should be very minimal, since the ...
Save a tree (and your back)--share your Content Enhancement handouts with Depot instead of print.
Heads up! I'm about to start a little reorganization project with the categories in the Hello sidebar. Things should work in the meantime, but may look a little weird. When I'm done, though, the categories should be much easier to browse.
The updates to the Learning Labs I mentioned earlier are now complete. Upgrading Moodle to new versions is never as easy as it should be, so let me know if something looks odd. Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused!
The Learning Labs will be offline this evening for an hour or less.
There was a major power outage in Lawrence early this morning, and some of the servers didn't come back up right away. Everything should now be back to normal.
In case you haven't heard, the University of Kansas Center for Research on Learning, of which Stratepedia is part, has received funds from the Wal-Mart Foundation to start a project promoting literacy in out-of-school environments. We'll be partnering with Boys and Girls Clubs of America to extend the scalability and ...
I will be performing some routine maintenance on a core Stratepedia server this afternoon. This should take no more than 10 minutes.
An article Amber and I wrote about Hello (this site) is featured in the April, 2008 issue of Stratenotes. Watch for it!
Now, before you leave, make sure you've subscribed to receive future updates, via either RSS or e-mail. (Need a primer on RSS? Check out Amber's tutorial on RSS ...
I recently ran into the problem of having people not be able to play a DVD that I had burnt for them. They were using it on their computers and it seemed to be isolated to the PC users and I couldn't figure out for the life of me what ...
Dossier is getting the updates I promised a few weeks ago, and also moving to a new server. I'm going to do this tomorrow, May 1. I'm planning on doing this during the day since nobody's really using the system just yet, but if I'm wrong now's the time ...
Stratepedia's blog evolves yet again. Say hi to Hello.
