His current vision for tertiary education encompasses the use of Web 2.0 technologies embedded into an institutional VLE which can be accessed through mobile technologies.

More wiki issues

Having found the wiki - are we correct in assuming only one person is allowed to edit it at a time? Or is Matt just one of those lucky guys?

Wiki hell or wiki heaven?

Mon, 30 Apr 2007 21:05:17 GMT

I was looking for the notes of the morning group discussions from the launch (on problems common in HE) and found two wikis and notes only for one group - the Black group. What is their dark secret? We saw Rhona post the notes from our group - Orange - have they gone into Cyberspace? Will we be allowed into the Black magic box? Anybody got a timeline as to when? Or which wiki UIDM or Project that we use to plan?

Good morning

Just to say Hi - looking forward to an interesting day

New mini-community

Mon, 02 Apr 2007 21:04:50 GMT

Just wondering if creating a community within the community for the eight of us from UWE and UoB is a sensible idea or not. it's currently there under the heading Bristol Mobile. What do you think?
