The instructions are: “THE FACEBOOK TRICK: press up,up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, Enter key, then right click then press up and down and magic circles will appear when you make a mouse click. the only way to get rid of them are to log off or refresh the page…IT WILL WORK! put this as your status if it works.”

It does work. I didn’t get it to work immediately because it gets a bit blurry after the right mouse click, but it works. I tried it in Firefox on a MBP.

One of my Facebook friends found the explanation in the Konami Code.

Presentation on the e-portfolio use in the BScE

The 3rd eLearning Charter Conference was held at the University of Luxembourg on 30 October 2009. We had decided to videotape the four presentations to allow the other members of the Charter Universities who could not be present to see them and also other interested parties. A result of this meeting was also that we set up a site to gather further discussions and resources.

I delivered the contribution of the University of Luxembourg with Charles Max and Bob Reuter as co-authors. Our presentation was entitled “Integrating Mahara as e-portfolio system and social network in the BScE”. The BScE is the Bachelor en Sciences de l’Education (Bachelor in Educational Sciences), a 4-year study program at the University of Luxembourg. A recording is available (may not show up in feed readers).
