Slides from my keynote presentation at the Plymouth Enhanced Learning Conference 2013 (#pelc13).
As it was a closing keynote, I attempted to weave topics, themes, images and other resources from the conference into my narrative.
Thanks for the invitation, Steve Wheeler!

16. HEGARTY & KELLY
four main findings:
1 The staff development models in use across six tertiary institutions in New Zealand were very
similar
– training workshops for technology and learning management systems, qualifications, just-in-
time,
peer support, mentoring.
2 Participants engaged in a wide-ranging amount of informal staff development activities
because of a number of factors, for example, (i) participants’ interests were wider than what
formal staff development had to offer, and (ii) time and workload constraints.
3 Existing formal staff development models in the six institutions sampled were not always
adequate to assist staff to fully develop their capability and potential for eLearning.
4 The findings of this project were consistent with research elsewhere in the New Zealand
tertiary sector, for example, in relation to factors impacting on staff who engage with eLearning
(Mitchell, Clayton, Gower, Barr & Bright, 2005) and some of the impediments which may affect
adoption of eLearning, e.g. time and adequate support.
17. HEGARTY & KELLY
Some key comments about informal ways of learning included the following:
“Having a sound knowledge of technology and pedagogy assisted as one could focus
on learning the eTeaching tools and eTeaching methodology”;
“Many years of participation in e-lists, discussion forums and chat has shaped my
understanding of on-line communities”;
“I have learned a lot from working informally with an on-line group at a … university
as a 'visitor' to the site”;
“Helped to develop relationships which may not have been forged so easily”

89. “The rise of platforms like Pinterest
and Instagram, and Facebook's
multimillion-dollar acquisition of
the latter, shows how visual content
is becoming an increasingly
important force for communication
online.”
"Pictures have also become a short
form way of communicating lots of
information quickly and succinctly,"
says Samuals.

SERVICE?
116. FROM GUTENBERG TO ZUCKERBERG
John Naughton:
“One thing we’ve learned from the history
of communications technology is that
people tend to over-estimate the short term
impact of new technologies – and to
underestimate their long term implications”
Donald Clark – grumbles about long intros. I think It is important to introduce yourself because I’m not doing a content dump. I want to learn socially with you. Perhaps not in the next 45 mins, but after that. Also it helps to get some misconceptions out of the way. For instance, I find it helps to tell people that my annoying American accent doesn’t mean I’m american.
Just button pushing training – not instilling self efficacy
World mosaic made out of 1001 web2.0 logosWeb2.0 tools – web2.0 can be a bit of a controversial term, however I’ve found it a good heuristic to explain the new possibilities we have available to us to connect with people, information and learning. We’ve gone from a 1.0 world, where the information published was by a small group, for mass consumption. Information was static, to this 2.0 environment where anyone can communicate, connect, create content, collaborate & contribute to the conversation…Unfortunately this also leads to our challenge…
Also time for reflection. To blog. To think.
It’s overwhelming. With so much information, tools & people out there, how do we start?
Your pln becomes your filter to safely take a drink from thmake sense of that fire hydrant
It’s personal
Oh my god, with all this work and all this tools, where do I start? Other hesitations can be: I don’t want to be out there. I want to contain my digital footprint (for now)
