Stephen's Web
This site, created and maintained by Stephen Downes, is like having a clipping service for commentary in our field of study. Stephen reviews news, blogs, literature and issues and comments on them. Stephen's OLDaily publication is one of the best for keeping track of current events in e-learning, Web 2.0 and the semantic Web. If you like it as much as I do, subscribe to his OLDaily newsletter.

Great place to find summaries of theory and literature to inform your work. Link: http://tip.psychology.org/

Rick's Café
Rick's Café Canadien is a blog for the Educational Technology and Design program that includes links to resources, conferences, job postings and anything else that seems interesting. It is also a place where we will make major announcements about the program, so bookmark it or add it to your reader. Link: http://rickscafe.wordpress.com
You'll notice pretty quickly, I think, that Canadian Copyright makes sense generally, but the details are bogged down in the legislative mire. May I suggest you look at and consider using as much as possible in your projects:
Course documents
Guidelines for Project Proposal and ProjectMarking scheme
Example of first few pages of a project for formatting
Article review form & example
992 document format example for project report
