I have been out and about recently and one of the conferences I attended was from LSIS (Learning and Skills Improvement Service) normally at conferences I am itching to go at lunch time conscious of the work I have back at the office, however this one I was gripped. 

The title was "Embracing Innovation" and being a secret geek that got me all fired up.  I realised very early on that even though we are pushing on with our e-strategy, we have still a very long way to go.  I started asking myself a lot of questions.

• What about students visiting ATG through 2nd Life?
• What about letting prospective students ask tough questions about our quality through Facebook?
• Why not question why we sit students down in a classroom, is this how they like learning?
• Books, Google will have all books EVER printed on-line by next year, WOW.

Our learners have changed, so should we?

Anyway enough blogging, and back to my Blackberry for some bite sized learning experiences.
