eLearning - an Interview
* What I was doing in 2005
* My journey through elearning
* The Webheads
* Vance Stevens
* David Winet and EFI
* Jonathan Finkelstein and LearningTimes
* Communities of Practice
* Moving f2f teachers online
* mature age teachers and elearning
* liaising with IT support staff
David had an individual LearnScope project for 2005 looking at the "very complex process of moving a VET practitioner from the traditional classroom delivery environment to becoming an online facilitator" and has published the fruits of his research on this engaging and comprehensive website.
Thanks for posting this David. (41 minutes and not a fast download) And it took my mind off what's happening in Sydney. I can't help feeling Australia has changed this week......
PS You can also listen to more than 20 interviews with other Australian elearning leaders!

Leave Me on the Beach
I'm thinking I might use this post as a spoken intro to a guide about audioblogging. Fit the bill? Oh yes - it was posted from the spot where I took the pic :)
PS. Leave Me on the Beach has been a favourite theme of mine over the years.

Audioblog v Podcast?
See these examples of podcasts that Graham Stanley is using with young learners in Spain:
1) http://bylpodcasts.blogspot.com/
2) http://mylcpodcasts.blogspot.com/
When Graham writes:
"At the other place I work (teaching students of Tourism), I've asked the
learners for audio reports as part of their assessment on a short course on
theme tourism. The first group are just finishing these, and I'll be
uploading them to the site from tomorrow.
Here, the idea is for the students to produce a short radio-type report (as
a podcast) for a general audience. Their reports are to be made available to
anyone on the Internet who may be interested in listening , and I'm also
going to encourage the other students to listen to them."
This is similar to what others are calling audioblogging. What is it that makes one podcasting or audioblogging? Is it
* the intention (engage, instruct, invite comment)?
* the target audience?
* the software used?

Dafne Gonzalez and Lee Baber also shared what they were doing with their classes on the webheads discussion list. Let me take two examples:
1) Lee: "I am going to launch an audioblog.. one spokesperson per class.. for students to respond to the days lessons with questions, ideas, suggestions to other
students"
2) Dafne: "Students summarize texts and record their summaries"
Lee uses the term audioblogging. Daf refers to activity number 2 above as podcasts. But in type, these two activities are essentially the same. Students are summarising and reporting in audio. So is podcasting and audioblogging the same thing? A minor point I realise - I often want to run away and do something more interesting when people start talking definitions but in this case I'm curious - is there a difference between podcasting and audioblogging?

What makes you reflect?
It seems blogger is just getting better and better. I can now upload photos directly into Blogger without having to use a third party like flickr.com Now let's see if I can add an audio bit.....

MMS'ing from Phone
OK. In the previous post I sent an MMS (multimedia message service)
message from my mobile to the email account for my blog and it
appeared. Along with a nice message from Telstra (the carrier) saying
they are responsible for putting the message there, not me. Thanks
Telstra. Now shall we sell you?
Also tried to MMS an image through but that didn't work. If I lived
in the US it would. Go to
