Hi there,
Very quick comment.....I think this discussion is very important and
very timely. I also think a joint Metadata SIG Meeting and Pedagogy
Forum meeting would be an excellent place to start exploring some of
the issues Sarah lists below in more depth.
Those of you who were at the EC SIG / Pedagogy Forum meeting on Friday
would have heard Helen Beetham stressing our need for vocabularies to
describe pedagogy and practice. Helen and I have a phone meeting on
Monday to discuss whether there is anything CETIS can do to help the
Pedagogy Programme make some progress in researching and developing
such vocabularies. One development that is likely to be of relevance
here is the work of the Dialogue Plus project which Grianne presented
briefly on Friday.
We'll keep you posted if we make any progress!
All the best
Lorna
