November 05, 2009. CCNMTL recently launched CompilED, a new blog where the Center's programmers and web designers reflect on their experiences developing educational technology at Columbia University. Directed primarily at the developer community in education, the blog makes public the technical conversations CCNMTL developers have always had internally.

Recent blog posts touch on topics as varied as building offline web applications, Moodle development, and aggregating links from online chat channels. CompilED will even contain interesting posts culled from CCNMTL’s internal message board going back to 2006. “We hope that by sharing our contributions more publicly with the developer community, we add transparency to our work and better engage technologists across sectors,” said Lead Technical Architect Jonah Bossewitch. “We’re excited to have a public voice that goes beyond our personal or internal blogs.”
