Ascilite 2006
Ascilite, the Australasian Society for Computers in Learning in Tertiary Education, will be having their annual conference next week. It will be my first Ascilite conference. They have the reputation of being a more upbeat than its northern hemisphere sister Alt-C.
The theme for this year is ‘Who’s Learning? Whose Technology?’, and the conference papers say this year will be about understanding the needs of a diversifying population. I find it a bit curious that Ascilite talks about a diversifying population, rather than a diversifying population in Higher Education. I’m sure all will become clear next week.
As I usually have my MacBook surgically attached to me you can expect some regular updates to the blog during the course of the conference. The conference will also be podcasting their proceedings and I’ll put the link on the blog next week.
Have a great weekend

Have fun, wish I could be there
I think it’s great that you have started this blog, even just as a low-key diary of what is happening in your unit, it give others (eg me) a sense of what you do and how we might connect with your services.
Do you have any plans for supporting wikis?

Yes to wikis…We are currently using a piece of kit called Elgg.net which is a social networking tool. We hope to roll out the use of wikis soon…
