As I sit here listening to some internet radio and enjoying my afternoon I am pleased to announce we have our 2008 Calendar up and ready to browse.

Naturally when making a decision to study invariably you’ll have to plan ahead considerably, and distance learning is no exception to the rule, in fact it is probably even more imperative you plan ahead.

As you can see we run the dual semester approach each of which lasting 15 weeks. Generally all courses (modules) last 15 weeks so after one semester there is some closure of study and the finalisation of grades. In the future we may well have longer 30 week modules, split over two semesters as we start rolling out more exciting courses, which we are certainly now planning and developing, watch this space!

As we start our yearly planning you’ll see more exciting items appearing on the Calendar which will be items of note, and of course if you are a student essential dates for your diary.

Today I set an affiliation with The Student Loan Network, which means we can provide at least one option for all those potential students who ask about financial aid.

This is a USA concern which is frankly where most of you asking for aid stem from.

So this week we have rolled out some new coding in the form of our audiocourses.com Geo-tag module. For those of you that do not spend as much time on the internet as us, geo-tagging is all the rage! Geo-tagging works in conjunction with googlemaps and is a means by which a user can pin point his/her location onto a world map.

The map has both map and satellite view, and in most areas can be zoomed down to see the cars on the street in your own road!

Once you have found your location on the map you can then leave a marker which will add your location and user profile page right onto the map! We will be updating the code very soon to allow you to add a profile picture and various other cool stuff.

For now if you are a registered member you can go tag yourself.

Happy tagging!
