Yesterday I attended a workshop session of the Hybrid Learning Room (Hybrid Læringsrum) research network. It was an opportunity to meet people interested in exploring concepts around learning and how it is changing due to advances in learning theory and technological opportunities. I discovered from one of the participants that mobile video is now an art form. From the speakers the following points emerged:
1. Learning is about communication (implications for digital communication)
2. Teenagers need the face to face element to establish their identity and level in the pecking order.
3. Games can achieve serious aims such as product innovation and entrepreneur training.
4. Games can be fun and the occasion for huge amounts of learning and/or adoption of effective learning strategies.
5. Virtual project management is hard work.
Those people who had contributed to the blog were awarded a bottle of wine. Mmm...
