On the road...

permalinkOr in the air might be a better headline. Am traveling for next couple of weeks - have a serious of European project meeting. I am on my way to athens right now for a meeting of the Special Interest Group on Open Source Software in Europe.
Making a couple of presentations. The first, tomorrow - is an evaluation of progress in the project. Usual problems - lots of publicity, lots of hard work, lots of ideas and commitment but problems in actually delivering in what we all promise at meetings delivered and problems in integrating some members of the project group.
The other problem or challenge - is more interesting. I have been involved in a number of projects now, where groups of partners - from different countries -are allocated to work together to produce a collective research report or paper. It never works out. No-one knows how to do this. For all the progress in ICt for communications and learning we still lack really good tools that can help us in such a basic task.
The presentation - if any one is interested is posted with this entry.
The second presentation is in the public seminar we are holding on Tuesday. I am talking about e-learning and pedagogy. In fact all I've done is rehashed the presentation I did last September on the same subject in Amsterdam at the K2 conference. Went down well enough there and have little time to write something totally new. But my ideas have moved on - explanation of the bullet points will be quite a bit different to last September. In fact what I'd really like to do is cut back the words to the bare headlines and rely more on the voice plus some pictures for the presentation. Lac good pictures at the moment - but Daniela has promised to send me some.
The second presentation is also attached to this entry.
