Hi Chris,
Thanks for your post. We are in the process of moving this forum to a WordPress format and hosting it on our server at the U of Utah. This is because of the ads that pop up on this free version. Some of them are ok, but some of them are fairly spammy. We would hate to be responsible for people being spammed or tricked.
So, check in our Resources page http://ctle.utah.edu/resources for updates on the forum.
Once we have it in the right place, we're going promote it often and widely so these conversations can take place.
I for one, have explored iTunesU out of curiosity but have not used it yet in my classes. I'm sure we'll have someone to talk about it soon, though.
Sorry for both the lag in response and the absence of collegial interactions here. We stopped promotions once the ads started to arrive. This tricky little forum didn't have ads for the first 5 users, then when our 6th user registered, viola!
Cheers,
Rai Farrelly
