 Thank you, Stephen. Well, it is really great to see so many of you here. I think this is my fourth, possibly fifth, symposium. I'm not quite sure. I'm losing track. But it's certainly the biggest. And we've got quite a lot of untaken name badges upstairs. So assuming a lot of those people turn up, it is going to get very crowded in here, I'm afraid. But anyway, let's hope the day is worthwhile. I think it will be. I'm really pleased with the programme we've been able to put together. I need to rush through this quite quickly Cwyddebwysig yn gweithio'r ardal, fel ydych chi'n gwybod i'ch mynd i gael digwydd arlau'r awddion'r hynny'n gweithio'r ffraith. Felly, mae'r ffordd o'n cael Felly mae'r problem yw'r bwysig i'r newid y byddai, sydd yw'n bwysig i gydig i'r gweithio'r ffordd dros y cyfrifngwyr. Felly mae'r gwahaniaeth yw'r gweithio, ond mae'r bwysig i'r gweithio yw eich bwysig i'r gwahig o gweithio'r gweithio. Rwy'n cael gwneud i'r gweithio'r gweithio'r gweithio. Ieg o'r gweithio'r gweithio, iddyn nhw'n ddim yn gweithio'r gweithio. I figuring all the talk and all the talk will go up on the web hopefully within about an hour. Certainly by the end of the day the look should be available on the web So at least there's something there for future reference but we may not be able to do the live stuff which is great shame. Remember we've set aside a quiet area where we're going to try to not film And that's on this side of the auditorium Mae'r ddaeth yn dwy buddwys cyntaf, wrth gwrs, ond mae'n gweithio y ffoto ac mae'r ddweud y mae'n ddweud ar gyfer yw'r dweud, ac mae'r ddweud o'r ddweud o'r ddweud ychydig cywbeth ac yn y'r ddweud yma. Aethau'r ddweud yr adeiladau yma ddim yn dweud yma, ac mae'n ddweud ar ôl. Yn y ddweud, mae'r ddweud o'r ddweud o'r ddweud o'r ddweud, o'r ddweud o'r ddweud o'r ddweud, Please sit over this side. Okay toilets are on the toilets and cloakroom lower ground floor from where you came in so down the spiral stairs if you haven't found that already. Coffee breaks and lunch I presume you have found already that's upstairs. So up the initial stairs then up the winding staircase into the big room and that's where we'll do lunch and coffee breaks. Wail thickness is an open wireless wifi network for you to make use of. Far alarm, there's nothing scheduled it's a continuous alarm bell, but as I said nothing scheduled so if you hear something it's the real thing and the assembly point is the cobble stone area outside the Nash terrorist houses. I have no idea where that is but I guess we'll get shown where it is. If anyone has any issues please find either myself or Ed Barker thinking he's the guy in the blue shirt stood back at the back there a we will be more than happy to help you out with anything as it comes up during the day. If you indicated special dietary requirements we have informed the caterers, so order that should be in order. But again find myself or Ed if you have any problems on those lines. And then finally evaluation sheets were available on the desks where you came in. I am not sure everyone has picked up a copy but we do appreciate those evaluation sheets being filled in at the end of the day. So do please grab yourself a copy and fill them in before you leave at the end of the day that would be great. Okay I think that's all the housekeeping. So it's really my main job today to try and steer you through the program we've got together. I'm going to kind of chair the day and let me just describe what we've tried to put together. But let me do that by starting by asking you a question which is, it's a rhetorical question by the way. I'm not expecting actual answers so you don't have to think about it too hard. But it's kind of an interesting question in some ways. When did we as an education community first start thinking about mobile and the impact that mobile might have on the way we deliver learning and teaching in particular but in the way we deliver all sorts of services within our institutions? Now it seems to me that I don't know what the answer to that is to be honest. I sat down and thought about it and I couldn't really remember when we started talking about mobile but I suspect it was quite a long time ago. And it kind of feels like one of those topics which has been going round and keeps coming up as being the next big thing and yet doesn't quite make it. Now I think there is something different this time round and I think that's partly why there's so much interest in this meeting. I think things are different and I was trying to ask myself what is different this time round and I think it is, I mean I hate doing this. I hate people who sort of, and it's very corny now to hold your iPhone up and say it's this kind of device that has made a difference. But I genuinely think it is not, maybe it's a bit over egging it to say this particular device though I do think the iPhone has had a very, very significant impact on this whole space. So there's a range of devices including Google, Android based devices, BlackBrizz and so on. But I think the iPhone has had more of an impact than anything else and I do think it makes a big difference. And it makes a difference not just to techies. I think that's what's interesting and techies always get excited about this kind of stuff. But I think the iPhone, in my experience, looking around at my friends and family and so on, the iPhone suddenly brings about a change in understanding of what impact a mobile device can have on your day to day life. And I see that across kind of all of my friends who've got into this kind of thing and people who are typically very non-technical and don't get into devices in that kind of way. So I think there is something different this time round and one of the things I hope we get out of today is a better understanding of what it is that's different at the moment and why things appear to be, why we seem to be heading into a much more significant change than we have done before. So from an edgeser point of view, as Stephen was talking about, I think we're interested in what kind of impact that change might have on the kinds of services we currently deliver and the kinds of services we might deliver in the future. I think for you what I'm hoping you're here to understand is what kind of impact mobile might have on the way you deliver, teaching and learning, the way research is undertaken with institutions, the way you deliver library services, computing services, all those kinds of things within your institutions. That's what I hope we get out of today, a kind of better understanding of that space and the impact that space might have. Now how are we going to do that? Well what we've tried to do is bring together quite a broad range of speakers and we've done that by bringing in a couple of guys from outside the education space because I think it's quite interesting to hear views from not just people within institutions but people who are working outside with the mainstream media, with other kinds of mobile companies and so on and understand the way they see things changing. But we've also got speakers very much from within the institution and we've got speakers from within IT services, from more hands-on learning and teaching side of things and from a more theoretical learning and teaching perspective as well. So what I hope we've got together is quite a broad range of talks that will help guide us through this day. In the middle of that we've got something we haven't tried before, which is the lightning talks, which will be interesting. Six minutes each, so very, very rapid fire just after lunch. Hopefully we'll kind of keep you awake after lunch. Okay, the final thing I want to mention very quickly, it wouldn't be a mobile event without some use of QR codes and you'll have hopefully, I've put my badge down now, but you'll have hopefully noticed that all of you have a QR code on the front of your badge. Now for those of you who are here with a smartphone, some kind of mobile device with a camera on it, the idea is that you can point your camera at that QR code, the little square code on the front of your badge. It should, assuming you've got a QR code reader installed on your smartphone, it should recognise the QR code, turn it into a URL, take you to that URL and once you've registered the first time you have to type in your own four digit pin number, the one that's on your own badge the first time. Subsequently you don't have to do anything, just point it at the device. And what will happen is you will be emailed the contact information for the person whose badge you've just scanned. So it's kind of like a virtual business card if you like. By scanning someone's card you'll end up with a copy of their virtual business card in your email inbox. I hope it works anyway. OK, with no further ado I will hand over to our first keynote speaker who is Paul Golding, who is CEO of Wireless Wonders based in Swindon I think. Paul is going to do I think a more detailed introduction about himself but let me hand over to Paul.
