Top networking and some useful presentations....
Especially Tom Loosemore's candid talk about BBC 2.0 and their 15 Web Principles. I wonder how this list should be adapted for an HE context.
The JISC Infonet Camel Project have some excellent ideas for partnerships for sharing knowledge and practice in e-learning adapted from collaborative visiting networks of South American farmers. Also had a useful chat with Seb Schmoller from ALT about sharing practice for large scale international distance learning.
I liked the HEFCE mention of the need for the sector to get on with High Quality and Mass Education.
The session on lifelong learning exclusively focused on vocational skills and people entering the workforce. The locus in the lifelong learning sector is heavily orientated towards the needs of vocational workers and not people who contribute to the knowledge economy. The UK government commissioned Leitch Review of Skills, Prosperity for all in the global economy - world class skills suggests that the lifelong learning debate be wider.
The JISC eL Pedagogy Programme is still turning out practical tips on teaching and learning online, but perhaps focusing too much on early adpoters and rather missing the rest of humanity.
There is a whole load of commentry and other stuff from the event on the JISC website.
