A web page is ...

... one part of a vicarious conversation.

It is simply a way of being seen. This web page is no different. I want to be seen. And heard. My problem is that I don't say enough. Or if I do, no-one hears, because I don't make a sound.

The real purpose of these pages is to showcase my work, not that there's much of it (yet), but the paucity of professional output represented here is to be a kind of vicarious trigger, spurring me on to greater heights. My research is primarily about e-learning, or as I prefer to think about it technology enhanced learning. I'm not yet convinced that that is the most appropriate phrase, either, as some participants would not believe that the technology does enhance their learning. Nevertheless, we have embarked on a path that can only embed technology further into our lives.

This is what I explore in my conversational pages, mostly conversations with myself. But conversations are different when technology is used. I like to think we become more reflexive, that we can take our time to explore, but that doesn't always happen. I will eventually have a list of my work and maybe a pdf or two you can download. But that's all official type stuff.

On a less official note, my work on interactional learning will have some demos here. I'm still debating the purpose of these, so keep a close watch for when things start to happen there. Of course, no web site worth its salt does not have a list of influential others so I also include one here. Lastly, the obligatory link to images, mostly sourced from my Flickr and until I get organised, you can view them there.
