"Posterous is the easy way to get content online using e-mail. You can e-mail content of just about any type (such as rich text, photos, music, video, Word/Powerpoint/Excel/PDF documents, and zip archives) to us. We will post it online in the most web-friendly format, then reply with a public URL that can be forwarded or shared with friends.

A Customisable Shell For Learning Activities
"A learning activity has a certain internal structure, binding together the characteristics generated by the analytical process of comparison. The internal structure will have a form that could also have existence in a computational form, such as a generic, customisable shell. An analogy would be Microsoft?s Powerpoint programme. It has an internal structure that sequences slides, which are themselves customisable by the teacher. The programme is a very restricted form of learning activity model for a purely presentational form of teaching. The internal structure is important, because it defines how the characteristics work together. In the case of Powerpoint, it restricts what can count as a slide. A better shell would allow the teacher to incorporate Flash animations, for example."
