My Ideas on e-Learning 2.0

We all know e-Learning, sometimes also known as "self paced learning". You find it on websites, on youTube and in Podcasts. I call it the "old way" of e-Learning and I believe it's a dying breed. Why?

- no pacemaker
- lack of discipline
- short attention span

Gimp Installation and first steps

Gimp is a popular Open Source image processing software. I'ts features can be compared to commercial programs like Photoshop® or Corel Photopaint®. Gimp is free software so you can download and use it without cost. This class will show you how to download and install Gimp on your computer (it runs on Windows, Macintosh or Linux) and how to start and use it.

Using Gimp is a bit different from other programs you may know, but if you get the hang on it, it will be easy to use it. Gimp can be used to edit your photos or create images and graphics from scratch. In this class we will just edit an existing photo (you will get an example photo during the class) and learn how to use the smudge tool from the gimp toolbox.

New Class Nov. 11:
