Games for Learning

This list helped me immensely in 2005 when I worked for an educational website
that put content in pop-ups, just as pop-up blockers were put in place.

Now I'm working for a group that wants to make online educational learning
modules (in, of course, a few weeks of work).  They keep saying we will "work
these things out" "later" in the process.  I like earlier.

Students' computers are getting smaller.  Students may be using the new
mini-laptops with screens that are 1024 x 600.  When you design webpages now,
do you limit the part of the screen that you use to accommodate these smaller
computers, or do you aim for the people who have 23" monitors, or is there some
rule of thumb you use now to accommodate the range of users?

Are there other items that have changed very recently that you take into
consideration when designing webpages?  I've read the research, but that tends
to be backward-looking.

Thanks for your help,
Sue
