The videos of the opening session with Etienne Wenger and Yrjo Engestrom from the 7th International Conference on Networked Learning are now available on the conference website.
The video is in 2 parts – Part 1 and Part 2. It will be nice to review what happened, or otherwise see [...] Almost a week has passed since the 7th International Networked Learning Conference, and I find that I am beginning to make sense and process my experience.

Great to hear about Webquests again, as I recall using these a number of years ago when I taught high school. The WebQuests in this project included developing critical thinking [...] Helle Wentzer is speaking about her work that addresses her work with MOPEM.

She is exploring reflection in a professional body, and forms the current work in her dissertation. She is looking at areas of identity, authenticity, and performance, especially as found through blogs.
