Learning to play the ukelele. Theory, Practice and Rock and Roll in learning.
Yesterday, i bought a ukelele. My logic behind this was clear; i can play the guitar to a tolerable level. It has taken me years. The banjo i’ve had for six months and can get a few songs out of. … Continue reading
What makes a good design? Considering the relationship between Functional, Graphic and Learning design.
What makes a good design? Hard to say really. I know what i like and i know what i don’t, but it’s not always easy to quantify the difference between the two. Working on the design for a new ‘learning … Continue reading

Group dynamics in learning situations. How the mood of a group can change and how this can affect overall attitudes and success.
