A quick note any for Old English teachers on this list who use my Old English Aerobics site (http://www.oldenglishaerobics.net). Beginning around the middle of August users must have accounts to access most of the resources (texts and exercises, and eventually more things) on the site.
For instructors there will be some new goodies: anyone with an instructor account can very simply give students in their courses the ability to get their own student accounts. These accounts are linked to yours so that you can monitor students' performance on the on-line exercises, making it simpler to identify those who need additional help. There will also be easier access to the answer-keys for the traditional paper-based exercises. I am trusting that the benefits will be enough to offset any minor inconveniences.
Though login won't be required before 15 August, it is possible to request accounts now. They are free, and I can promise that those who sign up won't be subjected to spam or other indignities.
Further details on the site itself.

I should add that it is only possible to request accounts by going to the site and submitting a (not too onerous) form there:
