Hi
(I'm also sending this to the CETIS Pedagogy Forum jiscmail list and EC
SIG list...with some of the previous postings for context)
Thanks for your message David (theres nothing wrong with lurking, we can
learn a lot from 'legitimate peripheral participation') The CETIS
Pedagogy Forum has been holding joint meetings with other CETIS groups
to try to bring the issues that are being raised to a wider audience and
provide an opportunity for the educational issues to be discussed in
more detail (not that they aren't in the various groups, but because
they also look at the technical specifications in their area, often the
discussions necessarily focus on technical issues, implementations etc
and then the time runs out etc)
Phil Barker (Metadata SIG co-ordinator) and I are keen to hold a joint
meeting and welcome input and ideas from people re what they would like
to discuss etc. The Metadata SIG are meeting today so no doubt some
ideas will come out of that. The next Pedagogy Forum meeting will be a
joint event with the Accessibility SIG and will be held in Bangor, North
Wales on Monday 23rd May (registrations haven't opened yet, I will send
an email out when they are)
In terms of a meeting 'that combined most if not all CETIS SIGs' then
look out for a forthcoming JISC conference (in November sometime -
details will be posted soon when the date is finalised) in which all the
CETIS groups will be represented.
Thanks
Lisa

Hi all,
As a long-time lurker on this list this is the first thread that's
inspired me to contribute. The unnecessary seperation of much of
teaching and learning into abstract activities by learning technologists
is not doing much IMHO to help embed e-learning. I'd vote for a meeting
that combined most if not all CETIS SIGs 'cos otherwise you guys don't
know what you're missing.
Where are the grand unification theories in e-learning? Apart from SCORM
I don't see any and SCORM still has a long way to go.
Cheers,
David.

Hi there,
Very quick comment.....I think this discussion is very important and
very timely. I also think a joint Metadata SIG Meeting and Pedagogy
Forum meeting would be an excellent place to start exploring some of
the issues Sarah lists below in more depth.
Those of you who were at the EC SIG / Pedagogy Forum meeting on Friday
would have heard Helen Beetham stressing our need for vocabularies to
describe pedagogy and practice. Helen and I have a phone meeting on
Monday to discuss whether there is anything CETIS can do to help the
Pedagogy Programme make some progress in researching and developing
such vocabularies. One development that is likely to be of relevance
here is the work of the Dialogue Plus project which Grianne presented
briefly on Friday.
We'll keep you posted if we make any progress!
All the best
Lorna
