Busy

Been quiet on the blog… for a reason.

On Thursday, the Massively Multi-Learner event I was co-ordinating for the HEA turned out to be a real success as far as I could see - some very positive feedback. Panic to begin with as the network adapter on the PC we were going to use for all the presentation died. Luckily there were enough laptops to go round, and with a bit of work we even got Second Life access through the firewall.

Plus, a whole day of talks on using MMO technology in education (mostly Second Life based, if not specifically about Second Life) and only one mention of Games Based Learning!

Video casts of the presentations and powerpoint slides should be available soon(ish). Aleks has put her slides up already on Social Sim.

Coordinating the event and preparing a research grant soaked up all my time… hence no blogging. Hopefully normal service will soon be resumed.

Update: Meanwhile I’m preparing for a talk tomorrow at the Open University. And my 40Gb pocket hard-drive has just died. Gah!
