Shaping up
November 30, 2008
The 4th Plymouth e-Learning Conference 'Boundary Changes: Redefining Learning Spaces' is taking quickly shape. Today is the deadline for 150-300 word abstract submissions, and we have so far received almost 50 paper and workshop proposals. Scanning through the key themes and topics of the papers, I am very pleased with the diversity and scope they represent, but several ...

Germany calling...
November 26, 2008
Berlin beckons again next week - it's the end of the year, and it's time for OEB! Online Educa Berlin is without doubt the largest e-learning industry conference in Europe, and some would argue, the most influential. For many, OEB is the uber-conference for e-learning. For me it holds many memories of speaking to large and appreciative audiences, ...

The Emperor's new clothes?
November 22, 2008
I'm grateful to all those who have commented on my recent 'Monkey Business' post. I also seem to have stirred up some passion from the edublogging community, judging by some of the blog responses to my Edupunk rant on VLEs. Felix Grant (on his delightfully named 'The Growlery' blog) wrote a couple of posts agreeing with much of ...

Monkey business
November 16, 2008
I took my wife and son to see the animals yesterday. No, not the football crowd at Plymouth Argyle. I refer to the wonderful animals at Paignton Zoo, especially the baboons. Morrison's Supermarket is right next to the Zoo, and I remembered that they had a great little restaurant there. So that's where we went for lunch. Now ...

Digital scaffolding
November 13, 2008
Earlier this week at the Open EdTech Summit in Barcelona, I spent some time with Professor Paul Kirschner of the Open University of the Netherlands. During one of our creative thinking sessions (see yesterday's post) Paul came up with an idea for the support of online learners which I promptly gave a name to. In this post I ...

Muy Caliente
November 12, 2008
The weather this week may have been cooler than I have experienced during my previous visits to Spain (usually I'm there in the summer when the sun is a raging demon in a brazen sky) but the company was 'hot and cooking'. It was a priviledge to rub shoulders with some extremely smart and knowledgeable people drawn from ...

We are not lost
November 04, 2008
We have a 3D immersion cinema here at the University of Plymouth. It's a converted planetarium, which among other things, is now used to research some of the principles of virtual reality. I take visitors there just so they can experience the 'Wow!' factor. But how far down the road to full immersive experiences in education are we? ...
