Now is the time to book on to the JISC Online Conference – Innovating E-learning 2008. This is a four-day event (4-7th November) for further and higher education that can be accessed online at times and places convenient to you at a cost of only £50! It provides a great way to keep in touch with e-learning ‘thinkers and doers’ both nationally and internationally, and my experience last year was that it was a well-organised and informative event that gave plenty of opportunities to contribute.

This year’s conference is subtitled ‘Learning in a Digital Age – are we Prepared?’, and features two key themes: ‘Embracing the Future Now’, and ‘Going boldly into the dark’ -  the full progamme can be accessed at :  http://tinyurl.com/4jw4l9.

The content this year is very wide ranging – from Using Second Life for learning and teaching (tours with experienced guides available free!) to Mobile technologies – disruptive or enabling? There should be something for everyone!

Welcome to the RSC Wales Blogging service. This service launched on Wednesday 1st October, and aims to expand dissemination routes for RSC Wales news and activities to its supported sectors, and anyone else who may be interested!

You will see that we have a number of different Blogs, targetting different sectors and roles, from those dealing specifically with Higher Education, Adult and Community Learning, and Work Based Learning issues, to those focussing on Technical Infrastructure and Technology, as well as Learning Resources and the use of technology for teaching and learning. We aim to use these Blogs as the primary dissemination route for our information, and we will also RSS key entries to our website at www.rsc-wales.ac.uk/blogs.asp

This is a developing service, and we would welcome your views as to how we can make it better suited to your needs. Please feel free to contact us via our helpdesk at support@rsc-wales.ac.uk or via telephone on 01792 295959 with any comments or suggestions. Alternatively, use the comment feature on this Blog to suggest developments. However you choose to contribute, please do so.

We look forward to supporting you, and your organisations, in 2008/09 and into the future.
