Handbook of Emerging Technologies

The Learning Technologies Centre at the University of Manitoba has produced what looks to be an excellent resource for educators who want to use learning technology to support their teaching. The Handbook of Emerging Technologies was developed by Peter Tittenberger and George Siemens and is available online in a Wiki format or it can be downloaded as a PDF.

Thanks to Paul Dangerfield, our new VP Education for bringing this to our attention.
