Last week I delivered a keynote at the JISC Innovating e-Learning Online Conference.
James Clay will be asking delegates to consider some of the conversations we have had over the last ten years and challenging us to consider why we keep asking the same questions, why we are sometimes slow to take action and to really look hard at our responses to change. James will offer some of his own observations around why we seem reluctant to learn from the past and argues that this is as important as looking to the future.
What I wanted to achieve with this keynote was to explore the reasons behind what we decide to research and to investigate what does change in organisations.
The slides I used were as follows and I think I broke the record with 143 slides.
The presentation was delivered online using Blackboard Collaborate and over a hundred people “watched”.
I made use of the environment to engage the audience and to get them to interact with me and each other.
Overall I was pleased with the presentation and the outcomes. I also got some really nice feedback too.
Taking the tablets: How are tablets being used in learning and teaching? What is the impact? What are we going and where might we finish up?

Nowadays teachers and students have a variety of ways to show what they know and to express themselves. Take a look at some of the hottest online and mobile tools for showing, explaining, and retelling in my infographic, “Show What You Know Using Web & Mobile Apps.” These tools can turn students into teachers and teachers into super-teachers! Furthermore, most of the apps listed in the infographic are free of charge.
“I think it is a brilliant return for the investment and consider this to be a major part of my CPD each year.”
There is a packed programme and in addition to the usual week of presentations and discussions, there is the activity week, a chance to have a go at stuff.
For £50 you aren’t probably going to find something of similar value anywhere else in the UK.
Of course also as it’s online there are no travel costs either.
