» Education 101 the lecture – I will give this info only once so listen and make your own notes
» Is this reasonable – would an author or journalist do this?
» Technology frees education from specific place and time
More pedagogic change in last 10 years than last 1000
»“If you think education is expensive try ignorance”
Derek Bok
» David Putnam on the cost of not adopting technology

› Joined up thinking and co-ordinated action
› Whole organisation involved in procurement and deployment
› Good support during roll out

» “With staff skills and lack of time we’re looking for something that is more intuitive for staff to produce resources and courses”
