Hi Richard,
I would love to be there, but I think travelling from NZ for a 1-day event
might be a little hard to justify.
Seriously though - I have been awarded one of the 15 Flexible Learning
Leaders grants for 2005 (see www.fllinnz.ac.nz), and part of my embryonic
plan is to visit a few places in the UK in December. I know being in the UK
in December will be somewhat chillier than being in NZ, but I have a paper
accepted at the Online Educa conference in Berlin, so I thought I'd extend
the trip while I'm over there.
Certainly a lot of planning required yet, but maybe a visit to your neck of
the woods would be an option. Will you be around in (maybe) mid-December? It
would be good to catch up with Scottish developments in e-learning.
Regards
