most of this presentation describes online learning, basic
principles of pedagogy (Bloom), learning outcomes and rich learning
media. Nice overview.

More and more students are
starting to use MS Office 2007, and some of them are
starting to send attachments with MS Office 2007 file
extensions like .docx. There are 2 possible ways to
deal with this:
1. Install a converter so you can open
these files in previous versions of MS Word.
2. Advise students that they must
submit files in Office 2003 file formats, like .doc
files.
Detailed instructions for each option are listed below.
Note: The converter program (MS Office
Compatibility Pack) works for MS Word, MS Excel, and MS
Powerpoints, not just MS Word.
Option 1.
Opening Office 2007 Files from Students
As students start upgrading their computers with the
new version of Office, your students are going to start
submitting files created using Office 2007. You will
have to open them using Office 2003 which is the
current version supported on campus. Even without
Office 2007 you can still open Office 2007 documents by
installing a Compatibility Pack from Microsoft. After
installing the upgrade you'll be able to open, edit,
and save files using the file formats new to Word,
Excel, and PowerPoint 2007.
You can download it from:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?
FamilyId=941B3470-3AE9-4AEE-8F43-C6BB74CD1466&displaylang=en
If you're a user of Microsoft Office XP
or Office 2003 programs (Word, Excel, or PowerPoint),
you'll need to install all high-priority updates from
Microsoft Update
before downloading and installing the Compatibility Pack.
Option 2. Students save in .doc format.
If you save your document in the
default file format in Office Word 2007, users of
previous versions of Word must install the
Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack for 2007 Office Word,
Excel, and PowerPoint File Formats to open the
document. Alternatively, you can save the document in a
format that can be opened directly in previous versions
of Word - but formatting and layout that depend on new
features in Office Word 2007 will not be available in the
previous version of Word.
- Click the Microsoft
Office Button
 ,
and then point to Save As.
- Click Word 97-2003
Format.
- Type a name for the document, and
then click Save.

PowerPoint 2007 Downloads, February
27, 2007
So, someone sent you a PowerPoint 2007 file with the pptx
extension -- and you have yet to upgrade to the latest
version of PowerPoint. What can you do to quickly view
the file?
Try this:
View pptx for free. Download and install the
PowerPoint 2007 free viewer.
It will open up PowerPoint files with the old ppt
extensions, as well as the new pptx extension. Of course,
you cannot edit the files with the new PowerPoint 2007
viewer. You can only view the presentation. |

PowerPoint is not hard to learn on your own, if you just
want simple slides with some text. But if you want great
slides that add up to a great presentation, the learning
curve can become steep. Isn't it nice that so many Web
sites offer free
PowerPoint tutorials? MasterViews has done a survey of
