Background reading

I am reading a book by George Siemans and Peter Tittenberger entitled "Handbook of Emerging Technologies for Learning". You can obtain a copy by clicking on this link http://umanitoba.ca/learning_technologies/cetl/HETL.pdf

I'll try to give a review over the new few days.

Changes are welcome

Since my last post I have changed job role. I am now Curriculum Manager - Technology Enhanced Learning at Colchester Institute (CI). This is going to be a tough role as I recognise and understand a lot of the barriers present at CI. I will use my experience from my dissertation and the last three years experience of working in eLearning to start to move the determinisum from technology toward social in an attempt to find a balanced determinisum.

It is important to start the communication conduits between all staff, students and stakeholders.
