Comic Strips in Online Courses

Over the years I've done quite a few workshops that included some sort of reference to using comic strips in online courses, either as part of the content provided by faculty or as part of the student assignments. This narrated slidecast is a short (5 min. 40 sec.) description of some of the ways that comics can be used to pump up the creativity in an online course.

Custom Home Pages in D2L

I recently gave a short presentation about using custom home pages for courses taught using Desire2Learn. D2L Custom Homepages by Barry Dahl from Barry Dahl Do you know what web pages are "framebusters" if you try to embed them into the D2L course home page? Check out slide 5. Do you know where you can easily make custom widgets for your course home page? Check out slide 9. Please share in the comments if you do something different and useful on your course home page.
