LM Now on iPhone

Yes, it’s true: you can now read LitMUSE formatted for the iPhone.

Thanks to WPtouch iPhone theme by Brave New Code, this web site can be conveniently and elegantly accessed though your iPhone. From their description:

WPtouch automatically transforms your WordPress blog into an iPhone application-like experience when viewed from an iPhone or iPod touch. It comes complete with ajax & effects, and all the standard WordPress blog features: search, login, categories, tags, archives, photos & more. WPtouch also allows for near-complete customization through your WordPress admin.

MSC Humanities Online

The back-end server for LitMUSE has a new home: MSC Humanities Online. It’s still running Moodle, but I just switched servers: from an old Linux server to a new Apple Xserve. So, if you’re looking for the old login, you won’t find it. Go to the new site, and use the same login name and password you used on LitMUSE. You can also click on the “MSC Humanities Online” button on the side, or the link to the right under “Students.” Email me if you have any questions or difficulties.

Policy Updates

Since we’re in between semesters, I spent the last couple of days updating my classroom policies (what else do you do on vacation?). Some of the policies needed a revision; some needed links corrected; some needed more detail; some needed all of that, so it was about time that I did it. I also posted each policy as its own entry and then linked them all off the Policies page. You can also view them all by clicking “Policy” on the right under “Categories.”

LitMUSE Moodle Server Down

I’m performing some upgrades to the Moodle server, so it will be down for about 24 hours. I’m updating the Debian install, and I’ll get to the latest version of Moodle this week. Thanks for your patience.
