The ELG has become the Digital Learning Network - DLnet for short
Find people, build networks, share ideas
The idea is to go back to basics and get people talking about technology and learning in museums, archives and libraries. There are so many people whose job involves some kind of educational/digital role, but who don't have a network and really depend on colleagues and informal relationships to share information about new developments.
The Digital Learning Network arranges events, meetups (called 'ThinkDrinks') and tries to encourage people to come together - whether it's 3 people in a pub or 100 people at a conference.
So: we are changing our name from the E-Learning Group to the Digital Learning Network - DLnet for short - and putting more effort into getting people talking and sharing ideas, as well as doing all the stuff we used to do.
If you want to find people working in digital learning in your local area, build networks, and exchange ideas, DLnet can help.
We're getting conversations going about using digital technology to support learning:
* online - through the website and Twitter (follow us @DLNet )
* face to face - all over the country, in networked groups
Here's what you can do:
* get a few people together for a ThinkDrink - at the pub, out for tea, at the zoo - wherever you like
* let us know what you talked about - Tweet it, post pictures on Flickr, write a blog post, or post a short video on YouTube
* form your own Digital Learning Network group
And don't worry, we are still:
* exploring how technology can help deliver inspiring and creative learning in museums, libraries, archives and the heritage sector
* running our highly popular events such as conferences and seminars
* hosting the email list, which will soon become [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> (instead of [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> )
You can be a member of DLnet Online for free. http://digitallearningnetwork.net/
Or become a full member of DLNet - and receive discounts on bookable events and other benefits. Costs £12 individual, or £40 corporate (up to 3 member discounts per event)
If you're already a paid-up member of the ELG, you are now automatically a full member of DLnet.
Have a look around the Digital Learning Network website and let us know what you think.
