About.com has some nice desktop publishing tips. Kind of shallow but still okay if you want some introduction

Still on a mental vacation but here’s an interesting competition!

Our learning vision

Stockholm College is mobilizing individuals learning to the benefits for themselves, their families, local communities and society in general. We are doing this by offer a virtual community with Open Educational Resources (OER).

Our idea is that Information and communication technology (ICT) in education empower people to create and participate in knowledge publishing and virtual communities. Virtual communities as blogs, wikis, podcasting and Open Educational Resources build collaboration with different kind of stakeholders and civil societies. We work with these tools in our courses in order to reinforce your learning.

We are also interested in finding several local entrepreneurs, organisations and institutions to work with in several countries. We want to develop our knowledge in e-learning about whom, how and what different countries, organisations and individuals interests are.

From our official homepage.

This is just a course blog for our ICDL and ICDL advanced courses.

Mail your documents – get it back as a PDF

There are many ways to create a PDF but KoolWIRE is very convenient because you don’t need a installed program.

Just attach as many documents of the following formats Word (.doc), Powerpoint (.ppt), Excel (.xls), Jpeg, GIF, Rich Text Format (.rtf), TXT and you have nicely converted PDF:s.

Our Roadmap for e-learning

Our school has successfully worked with e-learning for many years. Since 2001 we have all of our courses at distance.

In the beginning we only had Swedish courses but today we have courses in English (ICDL for example) and developing new courses in Arabic, French, Spanish and more. We think education and learning is a great way to achieve UN millennium goals. This is how we going to do it.
