ascilite 2006 conference podcasts

Passion at ASCILITE??? We found it in a controversial and thought-provoking presentation by Lisa Wise and James Quealy from the University of Melbourne. Their presentation focussed on the institutionalised use of learning management systems . . . and how ineffective this is for today’s learning needs. Anyone who has read Stephen Downes or George Seimen’s will be familiar with the many of the ideas . . . but what is at the limits of social constructivism?

We could have chatted to Lisa and James for hours over the far-reaching ideas they have presented for us all to consider. As is stands, our conversation ranges from personal learning environments to the role of educational design . . . lots of ideas in here to spark some thoughts as the ASCILITE conference nears the end.
