Internet Environments for Science Education
The KIE book is finally out! Internet Environments for Science Education describes the research behind the Knowledge Integration Environment (KIE) project and its primarily offspring WISE. There's also a chapter by yours truly discussing the CILT Synergy Research project, which overlapped with WISE and sought to apply knowledge integration principles to the design of new water quality curricula in WISE.

Here's the back cover blurb from Annemarie Sullivan Palincsar.

Mining the ambitious and prolific program of research conducted by Professor Linn and her colleagues, E. Davis and P. Bell, this volume offers a broad range of intellectual and material resources for supporting the design, enactment, and evaluation of inquiry-based science teaching to advance students' scientific concepts and reasoning. It is distinguished by its principled treatment of the affordances of technology in interplay with the rich, dynamic, and complex contexts of classroom communities.

More on Software Marketing
Joel recommends this book: The Product Marketing Handbook for Software.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again ... nobody knows more about marketing in the shrinkwrapped software industry than Rick Chapman, and the new fourth edition of his book is the only place you can go to find a complete encylopedia of just about everything there is to know about marketing software. There's really nothing else that compares and if you're trying to market software you really have to read this book.
