My challenge: • Improve awareness of learning technology • Develop an understanding of the issues of use • Encouragement to ‘have a go’ • Deliver maybe 20+ hours content in 1 hour! • Can I use learning technology to assist learning as I demonstrate learning technology?
How can I cover it all in time? • I can’t but I can point the way and hand over to tech. • An accessible resource carries more info • Flexible resource providing learner choice • Rich resource allowing depth or skimming • Dynamic resource that is up to date • 24/7 availability for convenience • Perhaps it can be edited by all • Perhaps it can be developed by all
What’s new? • Learning models • Whole life learning • Pervasiveness of technology • Remote learning • JIT learning • Collaboration
