Dr Curt Bonk

We have been fortunate this week to have three presentations from Curt Bonk http://php.indiana.edu/~cjbonk/, on 1. Podcasts, Wikis & Blogs: E-Learning (it's not in Kansas anymore - it's in Edinburgh), 2. OOOPs - Open Courseware and 3. Blended Learning. The start of our autumn semester is looming and there's lots to do, but you only get occasional chances to hear inspirational speakers, so let's not waste them!

My latest course (module) at USQ is going well, I'm taking Multimedia with Dr Peter Evans and having a lot of fun with the course Wiki, knowledgeGarden. Trouble is, am spending way too much time in the knowledgeGarden virtual world and not enough time buckling down to reading journal articles and learning to use Fireworks, DreamWeaver and Flash! Must work harder! Great support from fellow course members though, and getting closer to that graduation date next September......
