Moodle Moot San Francisco 18 juni 2009
De dag begon vroeg, na een ontbijt om 7:30, begon de eerste sessie om 8:00 uur. Mijn eerste sessie is er een over of web 3.0 de manier van lesgeven gaat veranderen. Een interessante sessie, waarbij eerst werd gebrainstormd over zaken die nu nog niet mogelijk zijn in de ELO maar die wel wenselijk zouden zijn. De tijd was echter veel te kort (50 minsten). Maar meer informatie komt op: http://www.edugeekjournal.com
Er waren allemaal stands ingericht, waar diverse marktpartijen hun producten konden toelichten. Wat contacten opgedaan onder andere met Michael Erskine van de College of Denver. Hij was geboren in Duitsland. Van hem enkele waarde volle tips gekregen. Wat mij hier wel erg verbaasde was dat ze nog nooit van ELLG gehoord hadden.
Om 11:00 uur was er de sessie "Higher Education Meets the S Curve" met een panel dat bestond uit drie topmensen uit het bedrijfsleven:
Julie Clow, Ph.D.

Julie received her Ph.D. in Psychology (specialization in Behavior Analysis) from Auburn University.

In 2000, she joined Carley Corporation, a custom training solutions provider in Orlando, FL. She led teams to develop turnkey learning solutions for government, military, and commercial organizations ranging from instructor-led curricula to eLearning and high-end simulations. She went on to become the Proposal Manager for new business development, as well as the Chief Learning Officer. Julie joined Google in 2006 to jumpstart the eLearning group within the Sales Training & Development team. In 2008, she joined the central Google University team to manage Learning Technologies, focusing on both infrastructure and delivery methods.

Alle drie mooie verhalen, wel ietwat commercieel. Adrian Wilson gaf aan dat Microsoft nog dit jaar met een online officepakket zal komen.
Na een heerlijk diner, begonnen de middag sessies vooral over het online keren. Voor de detail informatie verwijs ik graag naar www.emergingonlinelearningtechnolgy.org.
Een vermoeiende maar wel een zeer waarde volle dag. Ik hoop dat morgen net zo interessant zal worden dan kom ik met veel nieuwe ideeën terug naar Nederland.
Ik heb inmiddels zotero geinstalleerd en ik moet zeggen het is heerlijk om mee te werken. www.zotero.org (is een plugin voor firefox).
