April 29, 2008 – 9:07 am

From the Learning Futures Eiffel team blog here’s a nice introduction on standards to consider for ePortfolios.

The post refers to a presentation given by Erik and Zavier Ochia at the First International Workshop on Understanding Web Evolution (WebEvolve2008).

Here’s a great article aimed at people working in museums but I am sure it’s just as interesting for anyone working in any cultural institutions or really, anyone with an interest in social networking in general. Written by Nina Simon, ‘How much time does Web 2.0 take‘ looks at what you might be able […]

Establishing an Internet connection can be a bit hit and miss sometimes - I have been trying to sort out wireless access to my (now not so) new home laptop for quite a few months. Unfortunately it came with Vista. Try googling ‘Vista - local access only’ and read through the dozens of […]

on ePortfolios and AVETRA

April 4, 2008 – 2:50 pm

Yesterday I had the privilege of presenting at the AVETRA conference here in Adelaide. My talk was focussed on ePortfolio policy and interoperability.
