BELLE Bulletin No.18
For the week of Janurary 7, 2002

New Version of ALOHA To Be Released
Following the November 30 beta release of ALOHA (Advanced Learning Object Hub Application), comments have been flooding in to the software's developers at the University of Calgary. Based on the suggestions, modifications are currently underway and a new version of ALOHA is expected to be released on January 14. As a result of these changes, certain features in the beta version have been disabled, so the beta version that was given to BELLE partners on November 30 is not fully functional. BELLE will make the new version available to partners as soon as it is released.

BELLE Website Gets a Facelift
Two new sections have recently been added to the BELLE website that will provide additional information to partners and to those interested in educational repositories, content repurposing and video conferencing. Both sections can be accessed from the home page at http://www.netera.ca/belle
Powerpoints from the November 30 Content in Action workshop can be found at http://www.netera.ca/belle/admin_rep.htm
