Open Education Resources I haven't blogged much about my OER work on this blog as most of my writing around this area is scattered across other resources. This page attempts to draw some of this together. I see my work in this field as being more broadly related to several other areas of work. These [...]
I have created some moo cards which will be handed out at the ALT-C 2011 Conference. They use a colour palate which reminds me of cake... There are eight cards and they each have a few words about the JISC innovating e-learning online conference experience.... Keep an eye out for them and grab one if [...]
I have written before about the term Digital literacies and how I feel about it. That is not what this post is about. Terminology aside I am really pleased to see JISC funding a new programme around Developing Digital Literacies. I really enjoyed working on the JISC funded study which really set the stage for [...]
I have been involved with the two year JISC Transforming Curriculum Delivery Through Technology programme as the synthesis consultant and have blogged about this. I have been less involved in the four year sister programme Institutional Approaches to Curriculum Design but have recently been talking to a few of the projects as they reach their [...]
This is another post focussing on a specific aspect of the JISC funded Transforming Curriculum Delivery Through Technology Programme. There is an overview post and one focusing on authentic learning For a programme with such diverse aspects and activities there are just so many ways to present the outcomes and outputs.

One of the aspects that I found most interesting was the number of projects [...]
For the past two years I have been working on the JISC funded Transforming Curriculum Delivery through Technology programme as a synthesis consultant. The programme ran alongside the ongoing four year programme focusing on curriculum design processes – Institutional approaches to Curriculum Design. The fifteen Transforming Curriculum Delivery Through Technology projects focussed on the processes [...]
Our son has made us question every aspect of our lives and our place in society. Like most families we encounter informal learning opportunities every day. However we decided not to participate in the formal education offered by the state. We learn at home, in our community, in the wider world. My son has Aspergers [...]
winter bauble This post is my seasonal card to the people I work closely with.... Many of these people beaver away in the background supporting project teams throughout the UK. They may occasionally get acknowledged in a final report... They may sometimes receive thanks from individuals...Sometimes they just get a barrage of complaints, grumbles and [...]
I have a dilemna due to using a Creative Commons (CC) licence on one of my photographs on flickr. The photo is part of a project that I did in 2006 for the flickr UTATA group which aimed to tells the positives and negatives of having aspergers syndrome to increase awareness of the realities and [...]
Why should HE and FE librarians attend the JISC online conference Bringing innovation to life: From adversity comes opportunity The conference is totally online and takes place over 4 days from 23rd to 26th November 2010. When I qualified as a librarian way back in 1984 we had to access the internet through dialog and [...]
Most people are horrified when I tell them that my son does most of his socialising with his peers over the internet. They are worried because he doesn't go to school and 'get' socialised there (we do home learning - see early blog post to find out why) I think there are a few assumptions [...]
