Comments on: Water, water, every where, Nor any drop to drink. http://ideasfarm.net/?p=113 Design - Technology - Enterprise - Learning; by Malcolm Moss Wed, 04 Aug 2010 14:09:22 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Geraint Lang http://ideasfarm.net/?p=113&cpage=1#comment-7500 Geraint Lang Thu, 19 Nov 2009 18:05:00 +0000 http://ideasfarm.net/?p=113#comment-7500 Cogent points Malcolm. In relation to the HE situation, Peter Bradwell's 'The Edgeless University' is worth a read. He concludes with the following statement: 'To pursue the possibilities of the ‘Edgeless University’, technology will have to be taken more seriously as a strategic asset. Technology is a driver for change. But we should harness it as a solution, a tool, for the way we want universities to support learning and research in the future.' More needs to be said about the lessons learnt from our days (yours, mine and the other Ultralab team members) developing the NCSL's 'Talking Heads', and the local working groups within, which in turn led to Ultraversity.

I'm also encouraged by the way the awarding bodies are making more use of technology. However they still have a long way to go in integrating technology into the assessment and learning process and empowering the teachers to lead innovation. I'd be interested in learning more from your perspective. I’m a big fan of the Diplomas Dave. I’m also encouraged by the way the awarding bodies are making more use of technology.

Even more unforgivable is the fact that other experts working day to day in that area of knowledge are only a mouse click away. The New Diploma Programme overcomes this, it will take some time to bed in, but is a good thing.
