General purpose event registration management system
We have developed an event registration management system, which is sufficiently generic to allow the registration processing logic to work with virtually any registration forms and requirements.
The main features of the system are: Unicode support, email opt-in/verification, optional and required fields, automatic form generator, aggregation statistical information of each field, and CSV export. See HOWTO documentation.

A typical Wiki environment allows any user to create or edit any page on the site. Wiki fosters a culture of shared authorship that is predicated on anonymity. While the combination of anonymity and unrestricted access can make exchange of ideas easy, it is not always conducive to effective collaboration, especially when the participants do not know each other. We argue that collaboration between strangers would benefit from having a private space. Such an environment can facilitate independent thinking and clear understanding of the state of mind of each team member, which are essential to high quality outputs. We present in this paper the results of our collaborative essay writing experiment, using our own customized Wiki environment. The experiment drew on the participation of a closed work group of 20 people that never met each other or had any contact with each other prior to the study.
Nowadays there is a great variety of free and commercial tools for producing electronic lectures. One popular tool from the realm of free software is Microsoft Producer, which makes it easy for instructors to create audio and/or video lectures synchronized with PowerPoint slides. In this paper, we describe an automation methodology for generating the interactive learning resources (e.g., slide associated self-assessment quizzes) that can be integrated using Microsoft Producer, conforming to a fixed presentation template. The system we implemented is being used to streamline and automate the production of electronic lecture modules for the World Trade Organization.
Dialogue can facilitate active engagement and critical thinking in learning in many situations, such as when a learner's ideas are challenged with conflicting viewpoints in a debate topic. Nowadays group communications in online learning processes are being supported by a range of tools. This pilot study investigates a new communication system that supports debate learning experiences.
