Lots of fun at yesterdays debate on the future of the VLE at the Alt-C Conference in Manchester, UK.
James Clay, Nick Sharratt, Steve Wheeler and myself all were allowed to argue our position for five minutes and then we handed over to the audience.
Great fun and lots of interesting contributions. It is surprising how attached to their VLEs these ed techies are

Open online seminar
Jisc are hosting an open, online seminar on ‘Making Assessment Count (MAC)’ on Friday 3rd Feb – 1-2pm. The presenters are Professor Peter Chatterton (Daedalus e-World Ltd) and Professor Gunter Saunders (University of Westminster).
The mailing for the seminar says” “The objective of Making Assessment Count is primarily to help students engage more closely with the assessment process, either at the stage where they are addressing an assignment or at the stage when they receive feedback on a completed assignment. In addition an underlying theme of MAC is to use technology to help connect student reflections on their assessment with their tutors. To facilitate the reflection aspect of MAC a web based tool called e-Reflect is often used. This tool enables the authoring of self-review questionnaires by tutors for students. On completion of an e-Reflect questionnaire a report is generated for the student containing responses that are linked to the options the student selected on the questionnaire.”

Stockholm Syndrome?
Thanks for such a great video.
However I can’t embed this in my Ning page.
Can you upload this to YouTube?
Thanks!
Interesting to see that the flip chart and the whiteboard (that you can use permanent marker pens on) is alive and kicking in that room
