Dear Doug,
Thank you for your response.
It's important that the BERA SIG hears from people in
the field juggling teaching, management, and
curriculum development responsibilities at the same
time as involvement in action research.
Your comments are a short-hand for an involved
process, a living example of addressing the e-seminar
issues in practice.
We hope the trip goes well, and perhaps we could hear
more about your enquiries in due course for "Research
Intelligence"?
Bon Voyage
Brian
