New SkillsFeed features are available. Now you can see what's going on in SkillsFeed community - who has joined, what new lessons have been published and who learns what.
Also, rankings of top authors, site owners and students are available for learning sites as well as for the whole SkillsFeed community.
Check out "Community" menu!
New version of our service has been just released. Integration with YouTube, Google Video and Slideshare sites has been improved. Now, after using our bookmarklet, you get all needed fields filled in by the content of proper YT and SS fields (title, description, thumbnail, tags, embedded code). For GV movies only title, embedded code and thumbnail are automatically retrieved. Additionally, you have to join the lesson to watch the movie or presentation.
Before providing cooperation features we've released new version of SkillsFeed which allows you to contribute external educational content like YouTube or Google videos, SlideShare presentations or simply links to articles or websites related to your SF site. You can do it easily by using our bookmarklet (you'll find it on the right margin section of SkillsFeed pages).
Invitations are almost ready and are coming soon.
We're working on new SkillsFeed features. The most important one will be the ability to invite somebody else to contribute to your learning site. It will enable authors to cooperate on the learning content.

After almost 3 weeks of intensive coding we're almost ready to go. Lesson questions and discussion feature is completed. Registration spam protection is tested and works fine, we decided to give up with captcha for a moment and just require email confirmation. Additionally a lot of minor bugs were fixed. The site navigation is still being redesigned - we feel that it is essential for the platform usability.
Solution Watch has posted a list of web apps supporting both learning and teaching.
Especially interesting one is Mindpicnic, which seems really agile in form and spirit. Nice work, Andreas - SkillsFeed will join the pack this month!
