Just looked at a poster by Bangor University (Psychology dept) who are using a Mac mini as a kind of Echo 360 recording station developed in-house.  It uses a VGA to USB dongle so captures everything displayed through the projector. Interesting as a low-cost alternative to Echo 360.

Had an interesting conversation with a guy from Waikato University in New Zealand who has been using Moodle for staff development. Use of discussions was the most successful element and staff hadn’t really found use of a wiki of great benefit but can see its potential.  Unsurprising I guess. His team has also developed extensions that allow automated creation of courses from the University management systems.  I mentioned our reading list management system to him, which made me think that we should really do a poster (or paper) about it next year.
