Take the quiz at dicepool.com
Absolutely hysterical. Best quiz I’ve taken forever. From the excellent explanations at the end of the quiz:
This survey is completely scientific. Despite the mind-boggling complexity of mankind, the billions of distinctly different personalities found on Earth can easily be divided into seven simple categories that correspond to the five Platonic solids, a pseudo polyhedron, and whatever the hell a d100 is. The results of this quiz should be considered not only meaningful but also infallible, and pertinent to your success as a fully realized individual. If you feel the results of this examination do not match your perceived personality, you should take whatever drastic measures are needed to cram your superego back into proper alignment, as described by the quiz results.
And if you believe that, we have some really great critical-hit insurance to sell you.

I purposely choose “agnostic” because of its religious implications: a pedagogy-agnostic standard “doesn’t know if there’s a pedagogy or not.” In other words, it is impossible to design a language which allows the expression of *any* pedagogy without simultaneously allowing the expression of *no* pedagogy.

We haven’t officially launched the site yet, but the first eight courses in USU OpenCourseWare are now available. The official announcement will come after we clean a few non-course related things up (like the design of the front page). But I thought folks would like to know as soon as these courses became available…
