Can you actually build an effective online community? Looking beyond the technology to create true learning environments.
I thought i’d start today with a question that i can’t answer. There are two aspects to this question; what do we mean by ‘community’ and what do we mean by ‘effective’. It’s like when you run a race, you … Continue reading

Ignorance is bliss. How to avoid learning to fail.
Tim Smit is the man who dreamt of the Eden Project and made it a reality. Eden is an inspiring location and ethos, a ravaged clay pit transformed into a botanical utopia. It’s the archetypal success story, the vision that … Continue reading
The development of skills over time. How we learn to fit within conventions, whilst learning to break out of them.
I’ve spent time over the last week with the oil paints, down in Cornwall, painting boats. It’s been a learning experience. I know how to paint watercolour, but never before with oils, so there’s a lot to learn. The whole … Continue reading
Virtual Reality. Is there still a difference between the virtual and real experience in learning any more?

Beachcombing. The art of learning from everything.
I’m spending a few days in Cornwall, exploring the ancient harbours, walking on the coast, picking up driftwood on the beach. I’ve bought one of my favourite books with me, ‘Waterlog: a swimmer’s journey through Britain’, by Roger Deakin. (Vintage … Continue reading
What on earth are you talking about? The art of visualisation in archaeological interpretation.
There are lots of challenges in archaeology. You can spend days on end stood in a muddy field, trowel in hand, jeans wet, knees bruised, with nothing to show for it than a few pottery shards and some flint. If … Continue reading
Rules are made to be broken. Why conforming is not always a good thing.
In learning, as with all things, it’s sometimes good to challenge authority. Just because things have always been done one way, doesn’t mean that that’s the best way to do them. Convention is just how things have come to be … Continue reading
I’ve got a hunch you’re right. What have we learnt about facts, figures and experience?
I watched a film last night about a runaway train. The basic premise was that the driverless train was heading at high speed (complete with toxic cargo) towards the town and inevitable disaster. Luckily, a second train, crewed by two … Continue reading
Can you have a coordinated media strategy in a world of informal relationships?
As i was waiting for a meeting yesterday, i bumped into the Communications Manager for a large organisation. The conversation fell to discussions of Twitter and Facebook, and how their organisation looked to imprint their message across these channels. It … Continue reading

Say it once, say it well. Using the right media for the right message.
You can tell a story in many different ways, but it’s important to adapt what you say to fit the media you’ve chosen to tell it in. Printed workbooks or downloads suit text and tables, illustrative graphics and so forth. … Continue reading
