In the Uni-Key project we have promised to make our proposed digital course accessible on mobile devices so when I took the family iPad on a work trip instead of my usual netbook, I was taking note of what worked and what didn’t so that we can be better informed about good practice when we [...]
I have been exploring the use of SCVNGR to make a location-based treasure hunt using mobile phones. We have now got to the stage where the 6 way points are ready and I went out with the class and their teacher to test the route just over a week or so ago. Being out and [...]
Over the past week I’ve been talking to a European company about being an online teacher of English. Everything seemed to be going well. They liked me. They wanted me on their books. These people seemed professional and fair. The internet is bristling with online language teaching sites. Most of them seem to be thinly [...]
The digital handshake is a critical point in any online interaction. Handled well, it will lead to successful and rich communication. Handled badly, it will take a long time to recover and get group process on track. I am thankful to Vicki Davis and Julie Lindsay for this evocative name for a vital part of [...]

Basic assumptions Earlier in the year I was speculating about how to implement a mobile exercise using one of the many augmented reality apps that have appeared in the last couple of years. Before I could implement I wanted a smartphone so that I could experiment and this finally happened in June. Although I bought [...]

Join me for this free session if you want to find out more about how we implemented ConCurrent eDesign across borders and what results we [...]
After more than ten years extolling the virtues of blogs and wikis, I was pleased to discover that they have gone mainstream, at least in Denmark.
