ALT-C is pretty large. 10 parallel sessions of talks, demos and workshops. And naturally, the sessions I’d most like to see are running at the same time as my own…
So I’ll miss the talk “Cultural Capital and community development in the pursuit of dragon slaying. (Massively Multiplayer guild culture as a model for elearning)” as I’ll be in another building talking on “Bridging 3D and web-based virtual learning environments” at the time. I’ll also miss one of the more interesting sessions packed with talks on the use of blogs for reflective practice. Given my own experience of using blogs with students (worked quite well, though students hated blogging), I’m interested in seeing how others get on with them. Ho hum.
Best session for me so far, certainly most useful, one from Glenaffric on a 6-step process for planning and conducting project evaluations. More here: http://glenaffric.co.uk/gem/ . Not as interactive a session as expected, but a useful resource. Open to the public for the duration of ALT-C apparently, so check it out now if project evaluation is your thing.
