See you at Alt-C ?
If you are going to be at ALT-C this year, I will be presenting some of our mobile authoring tools on wednesday afternoon at 13:30.
Details of the talk are on the conference site. I will be showcasing some of the great things that our partners and clients have been doing with our authoring tools. Highlights include:
- The Unite project and specifically some great mobile learning activities in the two UK schools
- The ALPs project with Leeds Met University who used the mediaBoard as an e-portfolio
- Some fantastic resources for 5 yr olds made in a Wolverhampton primary school, part of the Learning2Go group
- Work-based skills audits from the transport, catering and customer service industries
I would love to meet some of the blog readers - see you there?
