The use of video in learning was explored in several contexts, from Myles Dyer's use of video blogging in his own informal learning, to Malcolm Andrew of De Montfort University who uses video podcasts to augment his live lectures in Microbiology, and Jill Fillingham of Edge Hill University who uses video clips of patient scenarios to train healthcare workers. However, the focus of the conference was less on the technologies themselves and more on how they were used in conjunction with other tools and methods to create an optimal blend in the students' learning experience - so not much in the way of stats! Hope this helps :-) Duncan – thanks for the comment :-)

It's good to hear from the younger student point of view what we older e-learning creators are learning about, too. Interesting and informative. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Where was it held by the way? Was there anything said about the use of video in learning? where it might be going? stats on its use etc? Don't want to put you to any effort so only if its something obvious to hand. If you have anything like presenters names, web sites, downloads etc that would be really helpful. Good luck with MA by the way. Hi Lindsay

Good luck with MA by the way.
