Famous Five work IPOL rep at mini-me School Forum

Yesterday was the unofficial mini School forum (from Jeremy's email) in which the School got to meet and discuss ideas with the new IPOL eLearning developer Deirdre Wilmott. Dierdre will be able to meet with each School for a half day per week next year. The Famous Five (Jeremy, Lesley, Jane, Kate & myself) - a small but determined BSSH presence - decided to take gross advantage of IPOL and work Deirdre to the bone.

In two weeks we're going to organise a Wiki Walk-through in which Deirdre will give a hands-on session with wikis and their possible application to our specific disciplines, teaching and research interests. The Famous Five thought that a group session in which we get to try things out would be more beneficial and motivational than having a talk-though in which abstract and annoying eLearning things and technical jargon buzz about. I'll post the gory details of the when and where in a few days time.
