A very interesting read, thank you. The live qualitative data format makes it very accessible, to me at least, and the points made by the students are particularly worth considering. I'm forwarding on to others and encouraging them to have a look at it too. Particularly relevant to me were the skills that we need to develop in staff and students in FE, eg Internet searching, general IT, and authoring. The usefulness for students to be able to wordprocess their exams is also well expressed.

At this four students (2 A-level, 1 undergraduate, 1 postgraduate), a school teacher, and an NUS representative were asked a range of questions related to e-learning. Delegates at the conference found it fascinating (they said it was one of the best sessions they had been to at an e-learning conference in a long time), and certainly illustrated just how informative it is when learners finally get a chance to speak at such meetings. The replies are interesting, amusing, and occasionally blunt! There was some discussion of VLEs, LAMS, access to computers, IT skills, use of IT in lectures, etc. A rough transcript of this is now available as a PDF at: http://www.oucs.ox.ac.uk/ltg/events/beyond2004/beyondstudent.pdf If you find this interesting then please note that in the morning session of this year's 'Beyond' (8th April, Oxford University) there will be another discussion/debate involving students centred around the motion "Should technology revolutionize education?".
