As the New Year arrives I’m finding my thoughts slowly getting back to thinking about things I’ve happily ignored for the last two weeks. After ignoring the calendar invites and email alerts that have been pinging up as notifications on my various connected devices, it’s enough of a niggle in the background to interrupt the little time I’ve left with my family.
Foremost in my thoughts is the Durham Blackboard Users conference (#DURBBU) later this week, where many from UK FE and HE institutions collect to share experiences, collaborations, and development ideas on how best to use Blackboard, the VLE. I’m going again this year, but I don’t actually have any dealings with Blackboard anymore (other than a passing involvement in Collaborate Ultra, the online classroom tool). Yes, I may feel a little bit of an interloper, but I can learn and share much about online learning without being a Bb user, yes?
