      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The other day I went to the medical simulation center to observe the research using Second life in part. The PI compared three different activities of students in a simulation clinic: (1) An interview between medical students and standardized patients. (2) An interview between medical students and a puppet standardized patient. (3) An interview between medical students and standardized patients’ avatars in Second life. For the second and third activities, the students did not see the real patients face to face. The puppet and avatars in second life are amazing! In my opinion, the puppet is better than avatars in second life since it can move its mouth and limbs including showing its emotions under the control of the patient actor who controls the tablet connected with a computer. Although the avatars in second life cannot move their mouths, they are free to use. There is not much investment in second life compared with puppets. Moreover, we can arrange instruments and atmosphere as a real situation in both second life and the place where the students took the interviewing test. These help the students feel like they are in a real clinic. I hope someday my nursing students will have this practice with interviewing and physical examination of virtual patients before they interview real patients .</p>

<p>By the way, I was very impressed what all staff at the medical simulation center and ITAC did. They were very active and willing to help the researcher conduct her research. </p>]]></content:encoded>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote>Who is going to believe???????</blockquote>

<p><em>I have my Avatar</em>. I send the picture of my Avatar to Kung, my friend. She has not believed that I did it by myself……e’e’e……….I will not tell her that it is not that difficult. Let she think that I am so smart especially in computer technology.</p>

<p>Now I am installing second life application into my computer. Probably something is wrong since it has been being downloaded since 20 minutes ago, and I got only 40% !!!  No problem, today I have plenty of time. We will see what happened when it is done.</p>

<p>My Avatar went to newee (not sure) island first. This island helped me learn how to <strong>move</strong> the Avatar by using page up, page down buttons and cursors, <strong>communicate</strong> (talk or write down messages), <strong>search</strong>, and <strong>change</strong> my appearance. Later on I moved to help island. Everything in this island is free. It was called freebie (I was thinking of Frisbee, a game that I first play when I came here a year ago; it was fun though). So I changed my clothes here from a Japanese girl to an American girl. I like blond hair, so now I am a good looking girl with blond hair and long legs (never be real). I also had wings like an angel. However, wings are not necessary since I can fly without wings. Eventually I am ready to fly to the main island, Clevelandplus. See you tomorrow.<br />
 <br />
One hour has gone. My computer has been downloading the application.<br />

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Wow!!! I have my own course on Blackboard.</strong> <br />
There are three students in my class, Genevieve, Mridu, and Kung. We all had interactive participation in the class. I used most tools such as course tool – <em>assignment, announcement, course document, course information </em>-, communication and collaboration tools - <em>chat, virtual class room, blog, discussion board </em>-, assessment tools - <em>test, survey, grade book </em>-, and user management. Blackboard is also allow instructors to record their virtual classrooms. </p>

<p>I want to say that Blackboard is user-friendly software. It allows instructors to put course materials, links, and quizzes onto the World Wide Web without knowing HTML. All its easy handle tools will definitely encourage my college, who are unknowledgeable about computer technology, can create our online courses willingly, and enjoy to use it. </p>

<p>However, I found that it need a huge money to invest with this system. <blockquote>According to <br />
Blackboard executives, costs for their network environment products, including Blackboard Learning <br />
System, may start low but as subscribers integrate more functions into Blackboard, subscription <br />
licenses may be $200,000 to $400,000-a-year(Bradford, porciello, Balcon, & Backus, 2007). </blockquote>  <br />
Although  it provides powerful and easy to use systems for educational instruction, communication, and assessment, I do not think that my school can afford this burden. Looking for open sources probably be the best solution. </p>

<p>Course management systems that I have known are Blackboard, ecollege, CourseInfo. Other open source systems are , for instances,  Moodle, and Atutor.</p>

<p>What is blackboard? <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackboard_Inc.">Here is answer</a>. Anyway, the <a href="http://www.uupinfo.org/research/working/bradford.pdf">article</a> form Bradford, porciello, Balcon, & Backus (2007) give me more information about Blackboard.</p>

<p>* Course management systems (sometimes called courseware) are web-based software program that provide online versions of class rosters, course outlines, assignments, discussions, quizzes, and grade books.<br />

•	<strong>Overview of the School of Nursing, Chiangmai University, Chiangmai, Thailand.</strong>   	     <br />
        The School of Nursing is a large organization consisting of 164 full-time faculty members, and 130 full-time academic support staff. The school is divided into eight departments, and there are 1,300 students, both undergraduate and graduate, studying in three national undergraduate programs, 11 national graduate programs and in one international program each for undergraduate, masters and doctoral degrees. The school is under the control of the Ministry of Education, so it is high on formalization.</p>

<p>        The school has a Computer Service Center available for students and faculty members, which offers word-processing and on-line facilities, research programs, and training to ensure up-to-date competence in all computer-based applications. The Center, which is composed of four IT staff, is responsible for maintaining the computers throughout the faculty, and is connected to the main University network for research and communications. About 163 computers in computer laboratories are provided to students. Every computer has been connected each other via LAN.</p>

<p>       The website of the school is http://www.nurse.cmu.ac.th/webeng/index.html</p>

<p>•	Today I have learned about Blog. In the past I just knew the definition of it, but now I am going to use it. That would be great!</p>

<p>•	What does this following address tell us?  http://www.nurse.cmu.ac.th/plan/webthai/en/index.asp<br />
1.	index htm tells about homepage.<br />
2.	en is a file in folder named webthai.<br />
3.	webthai is  a folder in folder named plan.</p>

<p>•	I am going to figure out what kind of methods that the school has used to make online course. How do they deliver their curriculum? How do they transfer web files to a server? However there are several means to transfer:<br />
1.	Using code: only programmers could do that.<br />
2.	Using some software such as Dream weaver, Front page, Golive, Flash<br />
3.	Portal/ Form to fill out: fill your contents in a template.<br />
4.	Enterprise system: it is like blackboard.</p>

<p>I found out that the school use ATutor to deliver online course. ATutor is an open source web-based learning content mamagement system (LCMS) designed with accessibility and adaptability in mind. Is it some types of portal/form to fill out?</p>

<p>CAI is a Computer Assisted Instrction. It is an offline, not online.</p>]]></content:encoded>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>There are many ways to create videoconference</strong><br />
1. Using Adobe connect<br />
2. Using Web ex which may have high quality than the first one in term of oversea talking.<br />
3. Using Skype<br />
4. Using Endpoint (a big camera comes with a monitor): There are three types of endpoint including <br />
   4.1 Polycam used mostly on a campus and a business.<br />
   4.2 Lifesize: only deal with HD<br />
   4.3 Tandberg (I am not sure since I could not write my handwriting).</p>

<p><strong>What do we need for videoconferencing</strong><br />
1. Adobe connect or web ex<br />
2. Camera<br />
3. Microphone: we can use a microphone in a camera, but it may cause some problems such as echo, delay etc, so we gonna use headset.<br />
4. Headset</p>

<p><strong>About Adobe Connect</strong><br />
You do not have to install it. Just click at the URL someone gave you. The organization who want to have it has to purchase it from that company.</p>

<p>Adobe connect allow you to share only picture, movies (flash, jpg, etc. You cannot share excel, doc, pdf etc. However, that is not a problem since you (as a host) may show those documents by opening them on your screen and allowing participant seeing your screen.</p>

<p>There will be two users on a screen: Host who can controll everything, and participants.</p>

<p>There are many tools for users such as note, discussion note, chat, weblink, poll that can calculate immediatly after participants' voting(so cool).</p>

<p>Adobe connect allows participant outside the real meeting building see power point sharper than using TEC.</p>]]></content:encoded>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>HuRe!!<br />
I am glad I feel more comfortable with technology. Today I have learned about recording video by using a digital video <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camcorder">camcorder</a>. A camcorder is a portable electronic device for recording video and audio using a built-in recorder unit. Today I shoot two courses, ENGR145 and PHYS121 at <a href="http://wiki.case.edu/Strosacker_Auditorium">Strosacker Auditorium</a>, and course PHYS221 at <a href="http://wiki.case.edu/Rockefeller_Building">Rockefeller</p>

<p> Building</a>. That is also good opportunity to visit these two building, and see American classroom's atmosphere. It is not too much differece from those in Thailand though. By the way, the things that I have record will go through courseware automatically. Amazingly it would be changed from MPEG2 to Flash, window media,quick time, and MP3 automatically with a technology system. Oh, for the last lecture, there was no TEC in the room. So what he record was in a mini video tape. Then it will be converted from video to digital format, I guess.</p>

I would recommend my school using it. Just take a picture of a classroom, shot by shot all around a classroom, via digital camera only. Then use an Uleadcool 360 program to make panorama, and save it as quick time movie. It is not that difficult. AV guys in the school are able to do that. No good excuse!! The bottom line is that it dose not take a large size compared with video recording.</p>

<p><em>Tip for photoshop</em>: Reduce size of a picture before sending to others's mail by going to Image---Image size------solution(change to 100). That is it!<br />

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>PART 1</strong><br />
<blockquote>Where is my data???? I have learned that I have to save everything before I use a new symble that I have not learned yet.</blockquote></p>

<p>Yesterday I went to KSL to find information about <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learning_theory_(education)">learning theory</a>, and figured out how to post it on <a href="http://wiki.case.edu/Main_Page">CaseWiki</a>. I found lots of information about learning theory on websites, but a few books in Case library. Case always does not have textbooks I want. It took time to understand the theory in English, so I tried to search <a href="http://www.cte.kmutt.ac.th:8080/WebSubject/cte303/Web/CTE303-Module05%20Learning%20Theory.pdf">it</a> in Thai. So sad, it is not easy to find. Anyway I got them. Reading them in Thai version, and post English version on CaseWiki is the best solution. However it is not that easy. One of the problems is about copy right. I have no idea how to cite these contents on Wiki. I have seen that different people use different styles. Some use <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Experiential_learning">APA</a>, some have <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Las_Meninas#_ref-34">no style </a>though. I think I am going to use both, APA and convenient style. Hope that it will not get me in trouble.</p>

<blockquote>I have been trying to upload a file, but it does not work. When I uploades a file, all former contents disappear. Go to see what happen  at my draft.</blockquote>

<p><strong>PART 2</strong><br />
I still do not understand much about how to link an important word with link, so I looked at other peoples' wiki (pretend to edit it). OH I found the resolution!!! However, another problem is about how to upload a picture of a theorist. I have read an instruction several times from CaseWiki, but still not clear. I wish WikiThai could help. I will try next.</p>

<p>After looking at other writers in Wiki, I decide not to have references. I will make a citation by using link.</p>]]></content:encoded>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today is the first day of my internship. Of course, I feel nervous!! Howewer everyone are so nice. Everything is going well. By the way, I found good explanation about the different between blog and wiki<br />
<blockquote>Blog provides a platform for individuals to publish personal accounts, stories, or whatever one desires. When content is created, only the author can change it. Once it is published, anybody in the world can comment on your article. In general, your blog becomes a component of your digital identity. Whereas wiki provides a platform for individuals to collaboratively create content. The content is intended to be as factual as possible, like an encyclopedia. Unlike blogs, content on the wiki can be edited by any user. Like blogs, the content within can be as limitless as one's imagination. The wiki also has a sense of community attached to it. By contributing to the wiki, you are contributing to the combined work of hundreds of your colleagues. </blockquote><br />
This definition is from <a href="http://wiki.case.edu/Help:FAQ#What_is_the_difference_between_a_blog_and_a_wiki">CASE</a></p>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>                              <strong>Blackboard</strong><br />
     Blackboard is an example of software called "course management tools."  This software allows faculty members to put course materials, links, and quizzes onto the World Wide Web without knowing HTML. In addition, Blackboard includes a number of communication tools.<br />
     Faculty, staff, and students can use Blackboard as on online, web-based organizer accessible from any computer.</p>

<p>                          <strong>Tools in Blackboard</strong><br />
               <em>Reference: Control panel/ manual/ chapter5 and 6</em></p>

<p><strong>Announcement</strong>		<br />
        Information that you want to announce before or during the class. This provides details for posting important information about the course, such as assignment, due dates, content changes or guest speakers.<br />
	It allows users to add, modify, remove information, and can link this page to other tools such as course information, syllabus.</p>

<p><strong>Calendar</strong><br />
	It provides all the details for posting course-related events on a Calendar.  Remind faculty and student to know what is going to happen in each week such as due date, examination, meeting, guest speaker.<br />
	This provides users to add, modify, remove events. Users can link websites that relate to the event in the calendar. Users can view events by day, month, year.  There is a quick jump to view quickly.</p>

<p><strong>Staff information</strong><br />
	It allows instructors to post information –email address, etc,- about Instructors, Teaching Assistants, and guest speakers for the course.<br />
       ** Where can I find it in my course?</p>

<p><strong>Task</strong><br />
 	I think task is an assignment. <br />
 	It allows users to add, modify, remove task. It shows due date, priority, and detail of assignments.</p>

<p><strong>Send email</strong><br />
        Users can send email to individual or groups of participants within a course. Recipients of each email will not see the email address of other recipients.</p>

<p><strong>Message</strong><br />
        Message is a way to communicate like email. After you use it, all records including the detail of information would be saved in the communications area. So users can check it every time.<br />
        **Why Megan receive my message? I did not send it to her. I also checked it again in my message record.</p>

<p><strong>Digital drop box</strong><br />
        Digital drop box provides information for exchanging files between the Instructor and course participants. <br />
        It allows users to add, send, and remove file. Once a file has been sent to the instructor, it cannot remove from the drop box<br />
        ** I could not send a file. It said that I have no student enrolling in this class. Poor teacher!</p>

<p><strong>Glossary</strong><br />
        It is a list of special words and explanation s of what they mean.<br />
        It allows user to add, modify, and remove. The Glossary may also be uploaded and downloaded.<br />
        **I could not download definitions from my own files, and link.</p>

<p><strong>Discussion board</strong><br />
	It is an area that faculty and students can share their ideas, concepts, and comments.<br />
	*I need real students to be my student. How about asking Kung?<br />
	Users can add Forum (assigned task), Thread (initial idea or reply an idea), and Grade in the discussion board.</p>

<p><strong>Roster</strong><br />
	It is a list of people who participate in a class??<br />
        **I could not find where can set it.</p>

<p><strong>Blog tool</strong><br />
	Students can use this tool to post their thought, but it is private. Only the student and instructor are able to read (unlike discussion board).<br />
	*I found how to set Blog, but I do not know how to access it.</p>

<p><strong>Wiki tool</strong><br />

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>The difference between Web1.0 and Web 2.0</strong><br />
Web 1.0 was about reading, Web 2.0 is about writing<br />
Web 1.0 was about lectures, Web 2.0 is about conversation<br />
Web 1.0 was about advertising, Web 2.0 is about word of mouth<br />
Web 1.0 was about services sold over the web, Web 2.0 is about web services<br />
Web 1.0 was about companies, Web 2.0 is about communities<br />
Web 1.0 was about client-server, Web 2.0 is about peer to peer<br />
Web 1.0 was about HTML, Web 2.0 is about XML<br />
Web 1.0 was about home pages, Web 2.0 is about blogs<br />
Web 1.0 was about taxonomy, Web 2.0 is about tags<br />
Web 1.0 was about wires, Web 2.0 is about wireless<br />
Web 1.0 was about owning, Web 2.0 is about sharing</p>

<p>มารู้จัก web2.0 กับ web 1.0<br />
เมื่อโลกมีการเปลี่ยนแปลง การพัฒนาก็ย่อมเกิดขึ้น " internet " ก็เช่นกันที่พัฒนาจาก " web1.0 " เป็น " web2.0 " เราจะเห็นว่าโลกของ " internet " มีความก้าวหน้าและพัฒนาไปอย่างรวดเร็วมาก จึงมีศัพท์แปลกๆ ที่ใช้เรียกกันออกมาให้เรางง  ซึ่งบางที่ศัพท์ที่เราคิดว่าแปลกและไกลตัวสำหรับเราเกินกว่าจะเข้าใจ ไม่เคยได้ยินศัพท์นี้มาก่อน ที่จริงแล้วใกล้ตัวเรามากกว่าที่คิดเพราะเราใช้กันอยู่ทุกวัน แต่เราไม่รู้เท่านั้นเอง internet เป็นสิ่งที่เราคุ้นเคยและใช้กันอยู่ทุกวัน แต่พอถามว่าโปรแกรมที่เราใช้อยู่เรียกว่าอะไร?? แน่นอนส่วนใหญ่ย่อมไม่รู้ว่าโปรแกรมที่เราใช้อยู่นี่เค้าเรียกว่าว่าอะไรกัน <br />
  	ก่อนที่เราจะมาทำความรู้จักกับ " web2.0 " ก่อนที่จะมาเป็น " web2.0 " เรามี " web1.0 " มาก่อน. " web1.0 " เป็นเว็บสมัยดั้งเดิมเป็นเว็บที่อยู่ในสมัยยุคแรกที่ internet กำลังดัง เพราะไอ้เจ้า " web1.0 " ตัวนี้นี่แหละที่ทำให้โลกของ internet ได้รับความนิยมมากขึ้น เพราะ " web1.0 " เป็นเว็บไซต์ที่นำเสนอข้อมูล ข่าวสาร ความรู้ด้านต่างๆ ที่เราอยากรู้ ซึ่งจะส่งเนื้อหาต่างๆ ขึ้นหน้าจอคอมพิวเตอร์เพียงเดียวเพื่อนำเสนอผู้ที่มาเข้าชม พูดได้ง่ายๆ " web1.0 " ก็คือเว็บไซต์ต่างๆ ที่เราเปิดเพื่อค้นหาข้อมูลในการทำรายงานส่งอาจารย์นั่นเอง ในทฤษฎีของการสื่อสารถือว่าเป็นการสื่อสารทางเดียว ( one-way cmomunication )เพราะไม่มีการตอบรับจากผู้ที่ได้รับข้อมูล (แต่สามารถส่ง email หาผู้เขียนได้)<br />
 	ส่วน " web2.0 " เป็นคำที่ถูกนิยามขึ้นโดยบริษัททที่ทำเกี่ยวกับ Media ของอเมริกาที่มีชื่อว่า " O'Reilly Media " ในปีค.ศ.2004 ซึ่ง " web2.0 " นี้เป็นชื่อที่ใช้เรียกรวมๆ เกี่ยวกับการใช้งาน " internet " ที่มีการก้าวเข้ามาสู่ยุคที่ 2 ที่มีพื้นฐานการให้บริการเป็นหลัก และมีรูปแบบการใช้งาน " internet " ที่เปลี่ยนไปหรือกล่าวได้ว่าเป็นสังคม " network " ที่ผู้ใช้ " internet " มีส่วนรวมในการสร้างมันขึ้นมาซึ่งเป็นการสะท้อนความต้องภายในของผู้ใช้อย่างชัดเจน ซึ่ง " web2.0 " มีคุณลักษณะ " web2.0 application " และ " web2.0 website " ซึ่งจะต้องมีสิ่งหลักๆ เหล่านี้ประกอบอยู่ด้วย </p>

<p>1. " network as platform " คือจะต้องให้บริการหรือสามารถใช้งานผ่านทาง " web browser " ได้ </p>

<p>2. ผู้ใช้งานที่เป็นเจ้าของข้อมูลบน " website " นั้น สามารถดำเนินการใดๆ ก็ได้กับข้อมูลนั้น </p>

<p>3. โครงสร้างของการมีส่วนร่วมและความเป็นอิสระนั้นจะเป็นสิ่งกระตุ้นให้ผู้ใช้เพิ่มคุณค่าให้กับ " website " หรือ " application " นั้น กล่าวคือ การมีส่วนร่วมและความเป็นอิสระจะทำให้มีการใช้งานมาก ทำให้สิ่งนั้นมีคุณค่าน่าสนใจ </p>

<p>4. ใช้ ajax ซึ่งเป็นเทคโนโลยีที่มีความฉลาดมีการโต้ตอบกับผู้ใช้และมี interfaceที่ง่ายในการใช้งาน </p>

<p>เพื่อนๆ พอจะเห็นเค้าโครงของ " web2.0 " กันแล้วใช่มั้ย!!! เพื่อให้เข้าใจและเห็นภาพชัดเจนขึ้น เราจะบอกถึงความต่างของ " web1.0 " กับ " web2.0 " จากที่บอกมาเราจะเห็นว่าการที่ " web1.0 " นั้นเป็น " ofoto " ส่วน " web2.0 " นั้นเป็น " flickr " ก็คือเว็บไซต์จะให้บริการแก่ลูกค้าโดยให้พื้นที่บนเว็บไซต์ เพื่อให้เอารูปที่เจ๋งๆๆๆ หรือรูปที่ต้องการแชร์กับเพื่อนไปใส่เอาไว้เป็นเหมือนฮาร์ดิกส์ออนไลน์ที่เกี่ยวกับรูปโดยเฉพาะ แต่ถ้าเป็น " fiick " นั้นบอกเอาไว้ที่ตัวเอส 4 ตัว คือ store sort serach และ share นั่นหมายถึงว่ารูปที่เราคิดว่าเจ๋งนั้นระบบนี้จะเป็นการเอารูปของเราขึ้นมาแสดงให้กับคนออนไลน์ทั้งโลกได้เห็นสามารถสร้างเป็นระบบ " blog" ส่วนตัวสำหรับใส่ภาพจากกล้องดิจิตอลของเราเองหรือถ้าหากจะกันภาพนั้นให้กับครอบครัวหรือเพื่อนฝูงของเราโดดยเฉพาะก็ทำได้ </p>

<p>เราจะเห็นว่าเราได้ผ่านยุคสมัยที่เราเป็นเพียงผู้เสพ ประกาศ เป็นการออกความคิดทางประสบการณ์และรสนิยมส่วนตัว เพราะยุคสมัยนี้แค่ brand ไม่อากเป็นตัวตนอีกต่อไปแล้ว แต่ประสบการณ์ส่วนตัวต่างหากที่ควรเป็นตัวตนที่แท้จริง การเอารูปมาอวด เอาประสบการณ์มาบอกกล่าวผ่านทาง internet ในยุค " web2.0 " และ " web2.0 " ในแง่ของการเป็นผู้เผยแพร่นั่นก็คือ " blog " ที่เรากำลังทำอยู่นั่นเอง การสร้าง " blog " เป็นการเปิดประเด็นแล้วก็มีการแบ่งปันประสบการณ์ </p>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>	•	<strong>Overview of the School of Nursing, Chiangmai University, Chiangmai, Thailand.</strong>   	     <br />
        The School of Nursing is a large organization consisting of 164 full-time faculty members, and 130 full-time academic support staff. The school is divided into eight departments, and there are 1,300 students, both undergraduate and graduate, studying in three national undergraduate programs, 11 national graduate programs and in one international program each for undergraduate, masters and doctoral degrees. The school is under the control of the Ministry of Education, so it is high on formalization.</p>

<p>        The school has a Computer Service Center available for students and faculty members, which offers word-processing and on-line facilities, research programs, and training to ensure up-to-date competence in all computer-based applications. The Center, which is composed of four IT staff, is responsible for maintaining the computers throughout the faculty, and is connected to the main University network for research and communications. About 163 computers in computer laboratories are provided to students. Every computer has been connected each other via LAN.</p>

<p>       The website of the school is http://www.nurse.cmu.ac.th/webeng/index.html</p>

<p>•	Today I have learned about Blog. In the past I just knew the definition of it, but now I am going to use it. That would be great!</p>

<p>•	What does this following address tell us?  http://www.nurse.cmu.ac.th/plan/webthai/en/index.asp<br />
1.	index htm tells about homepage.<br />
2.	en is a file in folder named webthai.<br />
3.	webthai is  a folder in folder named plan.</p>

<p>•	I am going to figure out what kind of methods that the school has used to make online course. How do they deliver their curriculum? How do they transfer web files to a server? However there are several means to transfer:<br />
1.	Using code: only programmers could do that.<br />
2.	Using some software such as Dream weaver, Front page, Golive, Flash<br />
3.	Portal/ Form to fill out: fill your contents in a template.<br />
4.	Enterprise system: it is like blackboard.</p>

<p>I found out that the school use ATutor to deliver online course. ATutor is an open source web-based learning content mamagement system (LCMS) designed with accessibility and adaptability in mind. Is it some types of portal/form to fill out?</p>

<p>CAI is a Computer Assisted Instrction. It is an offline, not online.</p>]]></content:encoded>
