MoodLe

From the National Seminar that held at Nopember 29, 2007 at VEDC MALANG I really got so muCh new experience and also a new important information...

THe one of the matery is about the open sorce,, include Moodle.

Maybe all of u has been familiar with this,, or already hear just now?

so let's share .. because I also already know about this one...

U can download moodle from this link.

Moodle is a software package for producing internet-based courses and web sites. It's an on going development project designed to support a social constructionist framework of education.

Moodle is provided freely as Open Source software (under the GNU Public License). Basically this means Moodle is copyrighted, but that you have additional freedoms. You are allowed to copy, use and modify Moodle provided that you agree to: provide the source to others; not modify or remove the original license and copyrights, and apply this same license to any derivative work. Read the license for full details and please contact the copyright holder directly if you have any questions.

Moodle can be installed on any computer that can run PHP, and can support a SQL type database (for example MySQL). It can be run on Windows and Mac operating systems and many flavors of linux (for example Red Hat or Debian GNU). There are many knowledgable Moodle Partners to assist you, even host your Moodle site.

The word Moodle was originally an acronym for Modular Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment, which is mostly useful to programmers and education theorists. It's also a verb that describes the process of lazily meandering through something, doing things as it occurs to you to do them, an enjoyable tinkering that often leads to insight and creativity. As such it applies both to the way Moodle was developed, and to the way a student or teacher might approach studying or teaching an online course. Anyone who uses Moodle is a Moodler.

Well.. maybe I will trY moodle,, soon...

Thanks for Mr. Onno W. Purbo for the information.. ^^

Voice over Internet Protocol

Voice over Internet Protocol, also called VoIP (pronounced voyp), IP Telephony, Internet telephony, Broadband telephony, Broadband Phone and Voice over Broadband is the routing of voice conversations over the Internet or through any other IP-based network.

Companies providing VoIP service are commonly referred to as providers, and protocols which are used to carry voice signals over the IP network are commonly referred to as Voice over IP or VoIP protocols. They may be viewed as commercial realizations of the experimental Network Voice Protocol (1973) invented for the ARPANET providers. Some cost savings are due to utilizing a single network to carry voice and data, especially where users have existing underutilized network capacity that can carry VoIP at no additional cost. VoIP to VoIP phone calls are sometimes free, while VoIP to public switched telephone networks, PSTN, may have a cost that is borne by the VoIP user.

Voice over IP protocols carry telephony signals as digital audio, typically reduced in data rate using speech data compression techniques, encapsulated in a data packet stream over IP.

There are two types of PSTN to VoIP services: Direct Inward Dialing (DID) and access numbers. DID will connect the caller directly to the VoIP user while access numbers require the caller to input the extension number of the VoIP user.

CheaP laptoP

As commercial sales of One Laptop Per Child's XO laptop close Monday, a user tracking the nonprofit effort said continued commercial availability of the laptop could benefit OLPC's nonprofit effort, the XO manufacturer and children using it as a learning tool.

Gabriel Morales, a technology enthusiast in Miami, feels so passionately about distributing the laptop commercially that he has set up a Web site, XOforall.com, to drum up public support for continued commercialization.

After several years of pilot tests and attempts to reduce manufacturing costs, OLPC's XO laptops went on sale Nov. 12 through its Give One Get One program, in which two laptops can be purchased for about US$400, with a user getting one laptop and the other being donated.

Morales said a direct sales model works best for OLPC, as it covers the overhead cost of manufacturing XOs and in-store sales could yield more potential buyers. Bigger distribution will attract developers to XO's "Sugar" open-source Linux interface, which could lead to more educational applications for children to use as learning tools, Morales said.

But it is XO's innovative hardware that will attract users, Morales said.

Using a handcrank, pedal or pull-string, the laptop doesn't rely on an electrical outlet to run, making it useful for situations where power is unreliable or unavailable. The laptop also runs longer than a traditional unit-- up to 21 hours-- thanks to its custom-designed, efficient power-saving features implemented at the hardware and software level, Morales said.

For connectivity, users could take advantage of its mesh-networking features for Internet access and its ruggedness for road use. A mesh network could foster community and be a key tool in recovery efforts during disasters, Morales said.

Afflicted by production delays and rising costs, the XO has jumped from its original estimated price of $100 to $200. Such delays and rising costs would diminish with commercialization, because the manufacturer would be more willing to increase production due to lower risk, Morales said. That should be done without bringing on a situation where "developing countries are denied XO laptops because demand must be met in developed countries," Morales wrote in an entry on OLPCnews.com.

However, XO laptops are not designed to work like commercial laptops, OLPC officials have insisted.

XO batteries are different from the ones in commercial laptops, which can sap up to 40 watts of power depending on usage, said OLPC's Chief Technology Officer Mary Lou Jepsen. The laptop's specially designed lithium-ferro phosphate battery consumes between 2 watts to 8 watts depending on usage, Jepsen said. Batteries in commercial laptops may explode at high temperatures, while XO's batteries can run and recharge in temperatures around 100 degrees Fahrenheit (38 degrees Celsius).

OLPC is also designing a cow-powered generator that works by hooking cattle up to a system of belts and pulleys.

As a nonprofit organization trying to help children, OLPC's mission is completely different from mainstream organizations, said Samir Bhavnani, an analyst with NPD Group. "The goal is to get technology in the hands of those that cannot afford it," Bhavnani said. A price drop of a laptop, targeted at normal consumers, won't impact the charter of OLPC, Bhavnani said.

"We're a nonprofit educational organization-- not a laptop retailer," said George Snell, an OLPC spokesman, in an e-mail statement.

Make Ur flasH baCkgroUnd

Hai guYz... sebenernya udah basi kali yah,, tapi,, kadang masih ada banyak orang yang enggak ngerti,, so aQ mau berbagi neh..

klo maw bikin tampilan isi flash Qta lebih asyIk.. neh ada tips buaT ngubah background,, warna tulisan dengan memanfaatkan file desktop.ini
Check it ouT :

pertama2,, klo belum punya file desktop.ini (klo ada mah tinggal copy paste aja ke flash disk) kita buat aja dengan text editor favorit kita, Notepad.
klo udah,, copy paste aja script di bawah ini..:

[ExtShellFolderViews]
{BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC}={BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC}

[{BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC}]
Attributes=1
IconArea_Image=wallp.jpg
IconArea_Text=0x00FF0F0F

udah??
nah buat IconArea_Image kalian ganti tuh namanya.. sesuai dengan gambar apa yang mau dijadikan background..
misalnya nama filenya gambar.jpg scriptnya jadi gini -->
IconArea_Image=gambar.jpg
terus.. gambarnya juga mesti 1 lokasi lo..biar gak ribet..

klo yang IconArea_Text, itu buat ganti2 warna tulisan.
di bawah ada sedikit kode warna yang bisa kamu copy paste..
klo udah,, jangan lupa di save..!
namanya desktop.ini dengan save as typenya All Files ya...

Macem2 kode warna:

0x000FFF00 atau 0x000FF000 atau 0x0000FF0F= ijo
0x000FFFFF / 0x0000F0FF / = kuning
0x000000FF / 0xF00F00FF / 0xF00F00F0 / = merah
0x00FFFF00 = biru
0x00FFFFFF / 0x00F0FFFF / 0x0F0000F0= putih
0x00FF0FFF / 0xF0F00FF0 = ungu
0x00FF000F / 0x00FF0F0F = dark blue
0x00FFF000 / 0x00F0FF00 / 0x00F0FF0F = biru agak ijo

Moga2 bermanfaaT..^^ klo ada yg g jelas,, bisa PM
