Great idea Stuart, I can then link to it from the conference resource.

Hi John
Re Flick, if everyone just uploads their own photos to Flickr and give them the tag 'ldhen10' then they will all get aggregated here - http://www.flickr.com/photos/tags/ldhen10/ (nothing there at the moment...)
You can then embed the slide show on the website - or anywhere else for that matter.
Thanks for a great conference!
Stuart

Subject: News from Nottingham!
Dear all
I am sure that all (140 or of us) who attended the ‘Celebrating Partnerships in Learning’ conference would want to join in offering our huge thanks and appreciation to Ed Foster and Becky Bell at NTU. It was a truly splendid event in every way. The conference team, NTU staff and student helpers were all excellent. We were all very impressed by the fabulous buildings and facilities of the Nottingham Conference Centre.
The conference itself was a huge success. We are very grateful to all who presented and participated for the enthusiasm, commitment, scholarship and friendliness shown. Our keynotes, Marcia Baxter Magolda and Glynis Cousin were inspiring and gave really worthwhile ideas for us to consider and adopt in our practice. Both had some obstacles to overcome: Marcia recorded her talk on DVD then participated magnificently by video-conference. Glynis attended despite breaking her shoulder only four days prior to the event – a heroic performance! Both were hugely appreciated. The many workshops and presentations also received overwhelmingly positive feedback and there will be rich outcomes to follow in terms of publications, new projects and further research.
If you were unable to attend the Nottingham conference I am delighted to say that there will soon (in early May, we hope) be a video-resource with key documents and summaries of every session, on our website. This is being produced by Carol Elston, Sue Moores and Jade Kelsall of CATS Consulting, a very hardworking team, who became reassuringly familiar to all in attendance!
One more piece of news: the ALDinHE AGM unanimously agreed the motion to adopt LearnHigher as part of the Association from 1st August 2010. This is great step towards securing the future of the CETL and building upon its legacy through the website, the many projects and other aspects of its work. Further news on these issues will follow shortly.
My personal thanks go to the ALDinHE Steering Group – and especially Chris Keenan (Bournemouth) and Andy Hagyard (Lincoln) for the many hours they both put in, ensuring we had a high quality peer-reviewed programme, and that the practical arrangements regarding bookings, the website etc were taken care of. A special thanks is also due to Paulina Babuchowska, our conference administrator, based at the University of Lincoln – another hard working member of our team. To Jan Sellers (Kent) and Jonathon Staal (Abertay) who stepped down from the Steering Group – many thanks for your contributions so far, and good wishes for future participation in the network; and to Kerry Bellamy (Newport), David Bowers (Suffolk) and Terry Finnigan (London College of Fashion) who joined the SG – welcome!
Finally, I have a request to those who were there to send in your ‘memories of Nottingham 2010’. We would also like to receive and collect electronic copies of photographs, anecdotes, reports, reflections or anything else relating to the conference so that we can add such documents to our archive and make them available on the website. We will, of course, ensure we have permission before making public any documents or images sent to us. Any volunteers to set up a ‘Flickr’ or similar online photo-sharing site for LDHEN?
I hope you all enjoy a break over Easter
With good wishes for now
John
