In various presentations over the past two days we’ve heard the comment, ‘Why are we so slow in taking up elearning initiatives? We’ve been shouting about their potential for years, yet here we are again, still convincing people that it’s worthwhile!’ Have you heard (or felt) the same thing at ASCILITE 2006?
Diane Salter of Hong Kong Polytechnic University, along with Wendy Myers and Geraldine Lafoe of the University of Wollongong gave separate presentations on blogging this morning to a packed room of e-learning professionals. Although blogging is one of the newer technologies to emerge over the past few years, we thought it was worthwhile to explore this idea of technology uptake – why are some academics so resistant and what have been their tactics for moving beyond this?
But of course, we were specifically interested in blogging, particularly why a busy academic would even bother with blogs as well as different scenarios where they could be most useful. We came away with some great tips of what to do . . . and what not to do in your first blogging experience. Hope you enjoy this interview as much as we did.
