The web-based timeline tools Shelley pointed out to us look very interesting. While I haven’t yet thought of a way to use these in class (without creating extra work for students which will distract them from the large number of assignments they already have in the course), I can certainly see ways to use these for personal enjoyment and management.
As for the timeline of going live with my online course in the fall, that’s pretty easy to manage without a timeline tool—a simple calendar will do, setting deadlines for myself to complete all 14 modules before the course begins.
