G'day
I have just returned from a very pleasant trip to the Canadian Rockies and Alaska. Alright for some. I also had the pleasure of spending some time with Tony Bates in Vancouver. So this month is a write off as I was snowed under:-). I will endeavour to produce a bumper edition for October. In the meantime I thought you might be interested in another excellent publication and resource which has just been released from the JISC stable.
Yesterday, at the ALT-C conference in the UK, JISC launched a new guide: Emerging Practice in a Digital Age: A guide to technology-enhanced institutional innovation
available at
http://www.jisc.ac.uk/digiemerge
To augment this guide, JISC infoNet are developing a Mobile Learning infoKit with version 0.1 of this resource
now available at:
http://bit.ly/mobilelearninginfokit
The Mobile Learning infoKit is a practical guide for educational institutions planning to implement mobile learning initiatives. At launch, it comprises a wiki-based resource collating information and guidance from JISC and others sources. It will develop to include a section on future trends, incorporate additional examples, and be made available in a variety of formats.
It's a must read and resource for all of you who want to be part of the drive to exploit the potential of digital technologies in learning and teaching for the ultimate benefit of your students.
Once again, well done to the people from JISC!
CU in October with a bigger edition of elearningWatch
