Not A Blogger

I'm afraid I'm definitely not a blogger - the medium is a bit too demanding for me, not being one of the Web 2.0 generation!

I do occasionally post papers, or presentations I've made, that are relevant to my research areas and that I hope may be of interest to others. Your thoughts on any of the issues they raise would of course be welcome.

An opportunity to speak about my research interests in the context of changes, past and future, experienced in the FE sector.

In 2009 ELF09 ran as an optional extra for the delegates to UNESCO's World Conference on Higher Education I organised the round table discussions and provided a background paper Our Higher Education Change Journey for ELF delegates.

Because it's not on the FEFC/LSC web sites any longer despite its historical significance for FE, here's my copy of the 'Report of the FEFC Learning and Technology Committee', better known as the 'Higginson Committee'. This report had substantial & continuing influence on the development of ILT/e-Learning in England's FE sector
