I think it went well, and we got to show the new Netvibes Universe from EAHIL 2008: www.netvibes.com/eahil2008 It was part of the CEC Power To The User course to fill this Universe, and the participants are still working.

After a very intensive workshop together with Dorine, I was exhausted, and had to evaluate the course, because some things did not work out exactly as we wanted. But on the other hand, this is the new way of learning, by doing, adapting and interaction. Mainly we had too much planned in too little time. We need at least a day!. For some the course layout or concept might have been too loosly organised around the netvibes universe we created together : www.netvibes.com/eahil2008 Some did want a handout, but they did not realize the course layout & content actually was already IN the Universe. The Universe EAHIL2008 will be filled the next days with participants suggestions. Even after the conference you will be abled to follow up on development as will try and give an overview of all possible web2.0 or library2.0 info related to the major health or medicine resources and news out there. If you want to join the groups or suggest stuff: Please feel free to contact Guus or Dorine ea...

The search is also available as Netvibes widget, and can be added to your own preferred platform as well. iGoogle Apple Dashboard Opera Windows Vista beta Windows Live beta

(image: http://www.electronicportfolios.com/blog/index.html We are trying to develop instructional/education use of Netvibes, an online personal start page tool. Therefore this post at http://chimprawk.blogspot.com by Fred Stutzman is very usefull: New Manuscript: Integrating Web 2.0 Technologies in the Instructional Process he writes: " For the past two semesters, I’ve taught a course on Online Social Networks at UNC’s School of Information and Library Science. It has been a great experience, and I’ve had an incredible bunch of students. This course has also been an experiment, both in subject matter and instructional technologies. Using Facebook , Del.icio.us, YouTube and a wiki, we created courseware from Web 2.0 tools. Now that the course is over, I’ve had some time to reflect on the challenges, pros and cons of integrating these types of tools into instruction. Integrating Web 2.0 Technologies in the Instructional Process (download PDF) is an early manuscript docume...

Today I saw a post Ann Kucera from "Web 2.0: Health and Wellness Information " about the NLM Searchbox widget from Widgetbox . She thinks it's ugly and big ;-( Ann, i can make you a special NLM Gateway Search box/widget or a selection of your preferred nlm search tools if want. And we can try and make it as simple as YOU want. Just let me know ;-) The base of all this, is the NLM Toolbar that allows me to to tailor-made work within minutes. Netvibes over Widgetbox Netvibes is my favourite over Widgetbox. Please try this one. I will try and find out why the error occurs in IE from Widgetbox. To add the box to the html Page element of Blogger: have a look at this page -in IE, click page; View source and copy everything between the "form" tags, including the form tags itself. If you need more info just ask. Please try some other widgets at: http://eco.netvibes.com/users/9148 Tags: nlm , toolbar , library , gateway , ncbi , nih , netvibes , widgetbox ...
