Barbour, M. K. (2011, April). Examining the Virtual Learning Network: Some observations. An invited presentation to e-Learning Unit, Ministry of Education, Wellington, New Zealand.
During this webinar we will walk through some Tin Can solutions for blended learning. We will showcase some practical examples of how you can use the Tin Can API to flip the classroom. By the end of the session you will be ready to apply Tin Can to blended learning scenarios.
You Choose -Choice and Variety in the Web-based ClassroomValentina Dodge
Variety and choice are powerful stimulants. They result in firmer engagement and more active interest. Making decisions empowers and allows learners to explore paths leading to individual goals. But what happens when this spectrum of choices, this exciting variety, leads to so many opportunities? This talk offers real-life suggestions on dealing with choice in the technology-enhanced classroom.

The slides were used for a presentation of the prototype on CBT with VR and WT at the WELL workshop (Wearable enhanced learning). The prototype is being designed for training relaxation techniques. Technologically is it aimed to be mobile, so that patients can practice at any time and at any place.
Wearable Experience: New Educational Media for Knowledge Intensive TrainingMikhail Fominykh
This slides were presented at the invited speech at the World Conference on Educational Media and Technology (EdMedia) which was held in Vancouver, BC, Canada on June 28-30, 2016.
Abstract: Wearable computing and augmented reality are disruptive technologies. They fundamentally change the way we educate and train people to a master level of performance. With advanced sensors we can capture experience as it emerges. For example, a trainee can receive live guidance in the form of semi-transparent 3D hands that appear at the right place spatially and operated by a remote expert using sensor data. Captured guidance provides reference to scale, allowing repeated access to the information asynchronously at the right time and in the right place where it is most urgently needed. Expert guidance can be captured with wearable sensors and later re-enacted by trainees with augmented reality creating a believable illusion of a master-apprentice knowledge sharing. The captured experience therefore represents a new type of educational media that has properties of carrying both explicit and tacit knowledge. This new media helps to convert experience to knowledge and enable learning by bringing closer the theoretical knowledge and immediate experience, which are traditionally separated. Tailored content of captured experience can be presented with augmented reality using intuitive and immersive user interfaces. This can have a positive impact on mental processing and memorization, not only adding scaffolds for high performance, but also acting as a safety net preventing potential problems sensed in the environment. Learning how to master a complex task usually involves reflecting on your own performance, looking back at your behavior and comparing it to that of others. The goal of this new training methodology is to enable the full cycle of immersive experience observing an expert, training with and without guidance, and observing own performance.

2. Research Purpose
The purpose of this research is to capture, in a range of ways, information that will contribute to the knowledge base about the development of virtual schooling in New Zealand, in particular,
how the Learning Communities Online Handbook is being used to assist and inform this development. The focus of the project will be to:
provide understandings of how schools involved are collaborating, and the impact and contribution of the LCO handbook to their development and success; to capture a series of case studies to
help illustrate aspects of the LCO handbook guidelines, and to provide examples of effective practice.
