Editor's Notes
- recognising formal, semi-formal and informal spaces and experiencePicking up on Conoleet al.'s keywords (2008), voices are pervasive, personal, niche adaptive, organised, transferable, active in different ways according to time and space, adaptable to changing working patterns and, potentially, easy to integrate. As learners, teachers, experts and publics, our voices and behaviours are innately adaptable, adjusting naturally and effectively to context. In a project conducted at Sheffield Hallam University over one academic year (Nortcliffe and Middleton 2009a), students were given MP3 recorders and asked to use them in any way that they would find useful to aid their learning and to periodically report back to share their experience with the other participants. Once the students had been challenged to think creatively about how they might make use of the devices, it emerged that they discovered and captured useful learning voices in many varied situations, most of which did not directly connect with a formal view of university education. These uses were loosely categorised as,formal: notes from the planned curriculum;semi-formal: unplanned notes from the formal curriculum; and,informal: notes from beyond the formal curriculum. (ibid)
