I'm Mike Malloch, a software developer with strong opinions about what is wrong with elearning1.0 and vivid hopes for elearning2.0.

Through my elearning2.0 blog I'll be sharing some ideas about what we all can do to speed that development. See KNotations for my technical documentation and writing. I do a lot of bookmarking and tagging, covering issues in elearning, standards, web2.0 and web technologies. I recommend checking my del.icio.us bookmarks and tags directly, since I often post more bookmarks in a day than del.icio.us will deliver via RSS.
