I received an email contact from Onlinecourses.org mentioning their latest post on Firefox Add-ons. I’m a bit of a Firefox add-on addict so I always enjoy seeing which ones someone else highlights. Their list includes my all time favorite, ScribeFire — a tool for easy posting to a blog right from Firefox.
I do find it a little suspicious when a site is mysterious (perhaps unintentionally) regarding its purpose and management. The OnlineCourses site doesn’t list any organization address, and their about and contact-us pages aren’t very helpful either. Who are they, and what is their motivation? The content of the site overall looks helpful, with no banner ads or other spam-type stuff going on. So they don’t look suspicious. But as a skeptic I always like to be able to put an actual real-world identify to a web site. You can never be too careful — and this is the type of informed consumer-behavior we need to be ingraining into our students.
