Interesting. Not sure about the 'not getting any smarter' argument though. The Flynn Effect appears to have been operating for at least 100 years and would seem to explain much of this change (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flynn_effect. Of course, it is possible that both course grades and IQ score inflation are the result of the same underlying mechanism and that neither tells us anything of value beyond illustrating the utter uselessness of grades/scores/marks as ways to differentiate people.

Help with files

The Landing files tool can be used to share files with others, comment on them and build dialogue around them.

Some files are treated specially: on the whole, pictures will be displayed as pictures (jpg, gif and png formats), audio will be played as audio (mp3 and a few other formats) and video will be shown as video (various formats). It is thus a way to build picture galleries, podcasts and vodcasts.

You can upload multiple files and even upload zip files, that will be extracted on this site into their individual components.
