permalink email thisObviously I am not the only one thinking about the politics of e-learning. Just got this bizarre email from the British education technology Association (Becta) Research Network list server. I want the politics of e-learning discussed. Elections seem a good time for this. So what does the government do - require Becta to close the list.
I hereby declare that until the 7th of May this blog is open to discuss the politics of e-learning.
