And now that Adobe is dropping Flash for HTML5 it is time for us all to re-think our e-learning development foundations.

• Friends Don’t Let Friends Take Education Advice From Peter Thiel – Peter Thiel's experiment is certainly raising hackles here and there.  It will be interesting to see how it plays out.  I do agree with his "education bubble" thesis, but I don't know that his experiment makes sense or will prove anything.
