Virtually Connecting Goes to HERDSA 2016
Note: I had fun writing this post with Wendy Taleo, who hosted the Virtually Connecting session. A ping from Wendy Taleo drew me out of my teaching-grading cave to the Higher Education Research and Development Society of Australasia (HERDSA) conference this Wednesday, July 6, also a Hari Raya Puasa public holiday in Singapore.

On Hybridity and Disappearing Endpoints

In Perth Again, Virtually: ASCILITE 2015

Why I Woke Up at 5 AM (and stayed up til 4AM) for @VConnecting: The Connection Trick
All it takes is alarm clocks and coffee. No, alarm clocks, coffee, and a relatively small group of interesting, geographically dispersed people. And some google hangouts. And now a Slack with snarky bots.
Last week the geometrically growing Virtually C…
@vconnecting and connecting at ALT-C
Over the last couple of days I’ve been onsite at the ALT-C conference in Manchester UK. This is a rather large conference (over 500 participants), mostly educational technologists in the UK. As with any large conference, there are cliques, which are great if you are in them, and not so great if you are not.…
