FlashMeeting - TALMOSLast Sunday’s weekly EdTechRoundup meeting was a special one. It came in response to an issue that surrounded a blog post by Doug Belshaw and EdTechRoundup Podcast 5.

In that blog post and podcast, Doug made some comments about TALMOS Virtual Learning Environment to which the company behind the product took exception. More details here.

Mike Jones from Core Projects & Technologies (UK) Ltd. accepted our offer for TALMOS to put their side of the story. We’re not releasing it as a podcast as the issue probably won’t be of interest to most of our listeners. However, we thought it important that we make available in unedited format the discussion that took place.

ETR Weekly

We’ve decided as a group that our weekly Sunday meetings contain enough ideas and useful discussion to start getting ‘out there’ as podcasts. Ironically, we had a few problems which delayed getting the the first EdTechRoundup Weekly show out until today. There’s been another meeting since the one below - this one’s actually from 15th June!

Normally we’ll endeavour to get the links put in our del.icio.us account, but for now, and for the sake of speed, they’re listed below in the order they came in the discussion:

Oh, and the Mac applications Lisa never got round to mentioning in the podcast itself were Handbrake and Comic Life. Both wonderfully useful applications! :-D

EdTechRoundup - podcast episode 5The fifth podcast in the series by the EdTechRoundup team is a little different. This time around we’ve recorded a special discussion we had around the subject of VLEs and the Scottish GLOW network during one of our Sunday night FlashMeetings. Everyone is invited to these and the podcast features some of the core members as well as a number of those who had dropped in for the first time.

As a result of the more free-form discussion, the podcast weighs in at around the 55 minute mark. There’s some great insights from Moodle expert Ian Usher and, as always, input from a diverse range of educators. :-)
