Obviously 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.

FROM ICTRN:
Dear Members,

This discussion group will be suspended during the election period (from the dissolution of Parliament on Friday 8 April until Friday 6 May. All services provided by non-departmental public bodies (such as Becta) must comply with the General Election Guidance issued by the Cabinet Office
(http://www.cabinetoffice.gov.uk/propriety_and_ethics/publications/pdf/electguide2005.pdf) which includes the suspension of discussion groups.

From today, no messages will be posted to the list until
7th May.
