Mlearn2008 Exceeds wildest expectations and rfid first

Excuse the lack of long post but just got say Mlearn2008 was the best conference I've attended in a while . why well here's my feedback

1) Quality of papers without doubt high quality throughout
2) Keynotes not on duff one amongst them and interesting mix of commercial, policy focused and awesomely academic.
3) Exhibitors only a few but quality people
4) Social activity two great evening socials
5) Attendees really great mix those awesome South Africans, New Zealanders (Selena Chan and Thomas Cochrane blew my head off !!) those Awesome Aussie and a real great mix of other people from around the world.
6) Dr Chris Dennett and his working like devils with rfid and bluetooth stuff. The first education conference in the world to use rfid to inform its audience throughout . example of one clip sent to my phone
I will blog it loads but just to tired now


well done organising committee anyone fancy Florida next year !!!

Evironmental scan of e-learning in New zealand

Came across this another one for stumble upon. Its by Core-Ed formerly known as Future Lab New Zealand great presentation and worth a look shame quality on slide share wasn't better . Where ever you are worth contrasting with your own countries approach to e-learning . It is 6 months old but worth a look.

NewZealands first mobile learning conference

Huge heads up to Selena and her great blog http://mportfolios.blogspot.com/
for helping me spot past this event which had 30 people attend dont snigger. When handheld learning 2005 was put together in the UK Graham Brown Martin of www.handheldlearning.co.uk planned a event for 30 odd people and got two hundred for handheld learning a year later he got 600 plus .

So it will grow and great presentations archive can be viewed http://molta.massey.ac.nz/massey/depart/sciences/conferences/molta/molta-presentations.cfm

and Selena's blog posting of event here

so good luck to them for further conference maybe podcasting the prsentations etc next time.
