I’d like to wish you a Happy Halloween! To help you have fun and stay safe, one of our users created some NanoLearning on safe Trick-or-Treating with your family. Click here to view it.
We have the capability to embed NanoLearning inline with a blog entry, and I would have done it here. However, WordPress does not allow their users to embed Flash into blog entries. That happens to be one of my personal “pet peeves” about WordPress, and most likely one of the reasons for us switching blogging platforms pretty soon. On the page with the NanoLearning title and description, you will see a link titled “Blog this” where you can create a blog entry that links to a piece of NanoLearning, or embed’s the NanoLearning directly into the blog entry.
You may have also noticed some changes on the Explore tab. Instead of giving you a big list of NanoLearning things we’re showing you the Top 10 most popular NanoLearning objects. Any NanoLearning can still always be accessed via it’s URL, or you can type part of it’s name in the “Search” box just like Google.
From the Explore menu, there is a submenu named Advanced Search. You can use that to search even the content of a piece of NanoLearning. So if you can’t remember the title or description, but you know it mentioned the planets, then search the content for “planet” and you will find it.
I know it sounds simple to be able to search in the content of a piece of any learning, but actually it isn’t. Most learning is built in Flash, and seach engines like Google can’t dig into the textual content of a Flash movie. Luckily we have designed our system in a way that lets you search learning content, and lets Google index NanoLearning content.
