Dear members, Welcome back and I hope you all enjoyed a relaxing summer break. A reminder that the next meeting of the Pedagogy Experts Meeting will be taking place on Wednesday 5th October 2005 from 10:30 - 16:00 at the Orange Studios in Birmingham. In light of feedback we received from our recent survey of the Expert Group, we will also be holding an online meeting which will run from 30 September to 7 October. This will offer those members who are unable to attend the face to face meeting, opportunities to engage with findings from the pedagogy and innovation projects together with discussion. I will be sending through further information relating to this meeting in the forthcoming weeks including the agenda and the online booking form. We would like to invite those members who are attending the ALT-C conference next week in Manchester, to join us for the launch of the Innovative Practice with e-Learning guide. This publication will be the first from the Innovation Strand of the e-Learning Programme. It contains the synthesis from the Landscape study on the use of mobile and wireless technologies for teaching and learning in the post-16 sector (full reports are available from www.jisc.ac.uk/eli_outcomes.html) and the Case Studies and video case studies in innovative e-learning practice, plus additional information including snapshots of cutting edge practice in mobile and wireless learning and planning/audit tools for implementing these technologies in an institution. The launch will take place on Tuesday 6 September at 13:00 at the JISC stand. We will also be running a competition throughout the conference to encourage delegates to submit examples of innovative practice with mobile and wireless technologies, with the winning entry receiving a prize of a PDA, and a workshop based on the themes of the publication, which will take place on Tuesday 6 September at 16:00. You will of course, be receiving your copy of the publication at the next meeting and we look forward to receiving feedback from you on its use. Thank you for your continued support, Best regards, Sarah Programme Manager: Pedagogy and Innovation Strands of the JISC e-Learning Programme JISC Development Group 2nd Floor, Beacon House Queen's Road Bristol BS8 1QU Tel: 0117-954 5063 Mobile: 077 477 67944 Email.
