H807: Luck and Laurence (8.12.05)

I’ve been reading Luck and Laurence on videoconferencing. I now have to consider what they have to say about the innovative nature of elearning and the technologies used for elearning.

Before I get on to content, there’s also the issue of access to the material being innovative – it’s accessed and then discussed online.

I printed this article out and went to sit somewhere comfortable to read it. Then I found references to Figures 1-7, Exhibits 1-4 and Table 1. Where were they?

Back on the computer, sign in to Innovate again, find the article again. Hmm, they’re all hyperlinks. Start printing them out. Is it worth doing this? No. Go and look at every hyperlink individually. Yawn. One’s inaccessible because it’s a video stream.

And how is this looking at blogs going to work? Will they all be in the same place, or will students have to trawl around 10 or 15 different sites, looking at blogs?

Very interesting, this participant observation.
