Blended Learning Conference 2008 took place at Hertfordshire University on Wednesday 18th June. It was at this event that I gave a lecture explaining my vision on how I believe vlogging can benefit the education system.

  • UK gatherings do not attract the 300+. In answer to 4, it tells me they can't fill seats.

    what age group for the educ system? Most universities have email & web messageboard Q and A already for lecturers to contact their students, so what specifically do you have in mind. The video is unclear. Videos are poor for learning -watching is time consuming. At least on a webpage you can search for the word/topic & go straight to it in 3 secs. On video you have to watch the entire vid just to find it

  • With all the issues you erase, you are just throwing problems out there which dont HAVE to exist. Trust me there are many solutions to all those things, and im currently talking with senior bodies of the education system to resolve them =]

  • And they are trying to fill seats? No. lol - where you got this from? The University has invited 200+ delegates from around europe. And one room was the auditorium which is big...jst cause it was a room that could be used, alongside 6 others. =] You very cynical, but thats okay - its my job with my future actions to hopefully show the potential =]

  • I commend your efforts, but heres reality 1)most v-loggers are shite & contentless

    2) Gatherings...how many people turn up? 20-25 max? Poor if you consider Youtube is 2nd most popular site in the world.

    3) Most comments have no content whatsoever. eg crap! great! cool! interesting!

    4) Your conference had 99% empty seats. what does that tell you?

    4)Until Youtube has tighter policy on user admissions,cleans up illegal content & ditches reputation for dossing it won't be taken seriously.

  • 1) That's all about perspective - and what portion of vloggers you look at. There are millions out there.

    2) You've obviously not been to the ones I have. Last year I was in NY where 300+ were.

    3) In an education system, there would be more proffesional structure. We are not talking about using YouTube here..but using a similar system for education...

  • ...4) Lol - There were about 50+ people there, but that was because my slot was moved. And I've now been asked to do talks round the country and in canada - do I now ask you "what does that tell you?"

    4) (4 again :p) - I agree to some extent, but Youtube is open for anyone and anything. Like my point 3, this is about using a SIMILAR system for the education system. Not having school accounts on YouTube. but you prob missed that on the video =]

see all

  • I love how Canadian the Canadian is XD

  • YEA

  • great video .. like every point you made in the video is more than valid.

    thank you

  • Excellent discussion between digital natives and immigrants about web 2.0 tools for instruction and learning. I wonder whether the two really understood each other and if so whether they could collaborate in and outside the classroom for lifelong learning. I got the feeling that they were not really listening to each other.

  • nice video man!

  • great vid mate. I'll look through the others but... everyone doesn't have a voice.. can you speak for them a bit?

  • Do you always wear a hat x'D ?

    No offence ;)

  • This is an awesome lecture dude. Reminds me of being in university doing some speaking in front of a few people but you have done better than me.

  • Wow Myles , Im impressed,This definately makes sense from your perspective. Good Job!

    Hugs

    Marie:)
