The Open Education Conference has its Call for Papers available. It’s set up around what they call three broad strands
: Startup Camp; Sustaining Steps; and The Future. Under the sustainability thread, one sub-topic that looks interesting is their exploration of the link between the level of participation and the choice of tech tool (How can technology choices foster architectures of participation?).

In my Writing for the Web class, I typically suggest GIMP as an alternative to Illustrator. It’s free and doesn’t restrict students to one of the campus labs. But getting acquainted with the interface and learning the GIMP-specific terminology can present a bit of a challenge for some. So where to go? The GIMP has a good set of layered tutorials, but Six Revisions has also recently posted some good tutorials. Visually-oriented learners might want to head over to Meet the Gimp.
