Jim then takes the room and redivides it into two groups.

Institutional Innovation, taking key words and merge these with U&I themes

Major problems:

• providing collaborative learning opportunities in the face of reduced resources
• Embedding technologies in institutional practice. It is not about the technology, but change management, facilitation
• [Providing feedback]

Participants are provided with a worksheet.  Look for

1. problems that have not been addressed
2. a proposal as to how they might be addressed

There are huge problems: How do you encourage & support acad staff to create elearning resources when they cannot be bothered. There is a resistance in engaging with resource creation. The solution is "don't". Value the process not the outputs. How can teachers get the students to populate the VLE.

There are 2 projects: "Facebook" and "V-space"

Collaborative learning not enough physical space. How can you move from async to sync collaboration, using MUVEs

Collaborative learning. So much of what we do mitigates against collaboration: mudularisation, division, barriers to reflection. Is community valuable or not? Institutions do things that impose barriers to reflection and collaboration. Short-term assessment schedules are a problem.

Rewarding technologies: meant in a double sense. A search for technologies that are rewarding, and also looking at how we can reward individuals. We focus on reward, bringing reward into relation with knowledge. Start by attacking the question. The question is outdated. Institutional practice is not fixed. It is at least as important to talk about embedding tech prac into technologies. Attack the embedding notion. What are the kinds of rewards: status, experience, financial opportunity, intellectual? Understand this in a critique of the change-management model.

Bridging the gap between different time scales.
