Last Friday (19th June) was our CELT Symposium on the topic Getting Real about Virtual Learning . It was a fantastic day (despite the weather) with about 200 participants and plenty of learning.

Don't forget to use the hashtag! It's #celt15 . You’re encouraged to tweet some photos of the conference. Having some photos in the Twitter steam ma...

The Kaltura Connect Education Virtual Summit took place last week. All the sessions are now available to view on demand, so it you have a little bit of time, head on over to the VOD site to watch. My own talk User Engagement and Learning Outcomes: How NUI Galway is Changing the way Students Learn Inside and Outside the Classroom is available, though I have brought myself to watch it yet. Hopefully the technical guys worked their magic and I don't look as completely nervous as I actually felt at the time. The powerpoint slides from the talk are available on Slideshare and embedded here: User Engagement and Learning Outcomes: How NUI Galway is Changing the way Students Learn Inside and Outside the Classroom from Sharon Flynn Tweet
