This week’s meeting was led by Doug Belshaw. Those of use who attended TeachMeet Midlands 2009 (either physically, or virtually through the FlashMeeting) discussed our experiences. There was some further planning for an upcoming ETRU Special, and then the rest of our time was dedicated to general edtech news, views and opinions!

This ETRU Special was co-hosted by Dai Barnes and Doug Belshaw. We’ve been discussing Virtual Learning Environments and Learning Platforms on-and-off for weeks now, so the time had come to have the chance to invite some experts in and have a lengthier discussion. We talked to Jeff O’Hara (@zemote), co-founder of Edmodo, discussed the various options when it comes to integrating a VLE, and some ideas for best practice. We finished with approaches for getting all staff onboard when deploying a VLE institution-wide.
