Learning mainly
I have yet to properly get my anti e-mail campaign underway on all fronts. I’m waging war on a few small areas. The tide is turning here, but in other areas, people are waging a counter attack. Reminders about an event coming with full attached copies of all the documentation. One irony is [...]
As a belief statement I think so called engaged learning is important. I did the workshops in China in 2007 and once again had to face the fact of how shallow some of my thinking really is in this area. Helen reminded me of this on Monday. We were in the middle of a workshop [...]
It’s not been as simple a process to get a new theme as I thought. Here are a few random links I have traversed in the search for a good theme.
Essential Blogging Resources and Downloads. http://blogosquare.com/

An aside, in one of my favourite themes: Cutline: University of Washington Academic advice blog and MP3’s Interesting [...]
This was a suprisingly painless experieince, the first time I have done it completely unaided. I have decided to not move over the themes: I will engage in a new theme search tomorrow and get some new ones to try.

We need:
timed release
signups for groups [how can you have a supposedly constructivist enviroment without this?]
student folders for files [ditto!!]
better multimedia handling [Their mps player [...]
I posted a little about Dan Sullivan recently. I have just been browsing his website, wondering if it had anything on it about his ‘three day’ philosophy. There must be something there somewhere, but at the moment I cannot find it. However there is this link: on a Free Day.
Just what is [...]
Basically, I can now look ahead. Our UCTL integration is complete (except that they are thinking of moving our new buddies at the Learning Skills Centre further away and out of the middle of Campus), we have a website (nearly releaseable), the LMS review committee is moving along, we have a wiki to play [...]
It probably should be the best time of year. Trying new things, getting up and running for the year.
In fact, it’s not. It’s largely firefighting, getting little things sorted in a less than decorous fashion, with the exception of Veronica’s project and Nicola’s Creative Thinking – it’s been a lot of business as usual. And [...]
