Sprout

I just got my invite to take a look at Sprout, an interesting little widget builder that can take a number of resources and make them “flashed” – essentially you could use this to replace PowerPoint or Keynote if you want to deliver webcentric presentations. If you combine this with Yahoo Pipes or custom feeds from Google Reader (it seems to have issues with Feedburner though), you could have a decent little course widget, especially if you can publish it anywhere as it says it should (I’m waiting for an account confirmation to test this).
