Thanks to everyone who took part in the session this morning, especially to Aaron and Bee who are doing an amazing job with EVOnline. You can find the slides for the presentation (which basically examines discussion boards and weblogs and their capacity to facilitate communities of inquiry through their communication dynamics) here.

Tomorrow morning (or perhaps this afternoon for some of you!) I’ll be running a web-based presentation entitled: “Communication dynamics: Discussion boards, weblogs, wikis and the development of communities of inquiry in online learning environments”.. catchy eh :o) Seriously though it should be a good opportunity for me to run through a revised version of my …
