Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Just as a side note, Amazon are now renting textbooks on Kindle, which is also available for the iPad. Details here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html/?docId=1000702481

Not free, but certainly cheaper.

iThought which allows you to create mind maps.

You could use the mind map as the basis for the class and it can be saved as a PDF afterwards.
