Great news! Sarah Stewart will be co facilitating the course starting 27 July. Sarah is a very passionate and experienced online communicator, facilitating online events such as the International Day of the Midwife where midwives and health professionals met in Second Life and Elluminate, web conferencing around several topics to do with midwifery. Sarah maintains a widely read blog - mostly targeting health practitioners and the use of social media to facilitate mentoring and training in the health sector.Also, the course wiki (the one stop all you can eat information about this course) is now on Wikiversity. We are testing the waters with Wikiversity just to see what differences there are if any from Wikieducator (where we used to keep the course schedule). Everything remains the same otherwise, and much of the same functionality is retained.

great to see both Sarah and Leigh at the helm
You will realise that I am quite weak and often unreliable crew member, but dead keen to come right.

Hi Willie, great to hear from you - so glad you've joined this course. What are you wanting to achieve in this course?
Hi Sarah
I have made it this far at last. Love your photo.
Also like your questions and activities outlining community and the differences between groups/the old cultural capital stuff compared with networking/connectivism /democracy.
Only problem is that I am still doing the same sorts of essays at university for assessment purposes as back in 1968.
Plus certain countries or their old guard institutions have already demonstrated they can retake control of new freedoms created by the web.
So is the new vision illusion or reality?
Good question, nan and one I am not sure I have the answer to.
I know that a lot of great work is being done and things being achieved by the 'new guard' so to speak. We just have to keep chipping away and doing our bit as best we can....any one have an alternative or additional view?
