News from EduLearn2011 - Professor Mike Keppell

EduLearn2001 was in Barcelona and brought together a great crowd and intersting papers. I had four favourites:
Martin Weller spoke about digital scholarship – his blog is worth the read.  He examined the nature of open publication at Ed-Media. Peter Shea examined an extension of the Community of Inquiry model. He elaborates the model. His presentation was excellent! Joe Luca has developed an elaborate online supervisor compliance training for academics. Although I'm not thrilled by the compliance term it is a good framework.  

Sugata Mitra gave an inspirational keynote at EDULEARN11. He is the person who developed the 'Hole-in-the-Wall'. See  particularly the interviews.

There were representatives from 70 different countries at EDULEARN11 in Barcelona which was interesting in itself in terms of the cultural exchange of ideas. Other good stuff: https://scoop.it// and http://paper.li/
