This week has been pretty cool for me. I’ve been jamming to all sorts of music, and Soundcloud has suggested some great songs. Plus, I’ve been reading up on conversation theory and how it can help with learning. It’s a completely different angle on much of the instructional design research I’ve investigated previously. I’ve also…

Everytime I engage with these systems I have…
It’s Dangerous to go Alone – Preparing Learners
