E-Learn 2006 \u2013 Report \u2013 First Part<\/p>\n

The goal seemed worthwhile \u2013 to travel to Hawaii \u2013 and learn about E-Learning projects that might benefit students at the University of Gloucestershire<\/a>, as well as giving a paper about how we might use technology to allow wider communities access to University expertise.<\/p>\n

After dragging myself up in the middle of the night and travelling to Heathrow to be poked with sticks, told to dispense with all gels and liquids and generally security-ised, I was able to able to relax on the plane to San Francisco \u2013 where a five hour wait awaited me\u2026<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Like a very sad, nerdy, type I spent most of these hours feeding single dollar bills into an internet terminal in the departure lounge \u2013 answering e-mails from students worrying over critical reviews for RPE101 and RPE160.<\/p>\n

[This picture is all I saw of San Francisco – the view from the departue lounge…]<\/p>\n

Finally a flight to paradise awaited me \u2013 I was tired and ready to dream of sandy shores and the mighty pacific. All I got was the mighty roar of a cacophony of crying babies \u2013 and a couple in front of me engaging in a ritual cycle of bickering (mainly over legroom, and who had brought the largest collection of pointless items in the carry-on luggage) and noisy, rather unpleasant making-up.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, finally we arrrived – after around 20 hours on the go – and it was evening.<\/p>\n

I checked into the hotel and crashed – rather excited that in the morning I had the pleasure \"\"<\/a>of various workshops – including Professor Curtis Bonk’s <\/a>session on Wiki, Podcasts and Blogs – which assured us that On-Line Learning was not in Kansas Anymore – no wonder I had trouble sleeping…<\/p>\n
