Tweet Chatting - Readdress the VLE

On Friday I stumbled across #GuildChat which was discussing the Learning Management System (LMS) or what we in the UK call the Virtual Learning Environment (VLE).

As a long-time participant in Wednesday's #LTHEchat (@LTHEchat) I expected the chat to be "storified", but as it wasn't, I've taken the liberty of making my own record. Here it is.

About #GuildChat and #LTHEchat

#GuildChat is a weekly Tweet Chat hosted by the eLearning Guild (@eLearningGuild)-- a US membership organization that seems similar to the UK's Association for Learning Technology (@A_L_T).

GuildChat takes place every Friday at 2:00 pm EST (7:00 PM BST).

LTHEchat takes place on Wednesdays (during term time) at 8:00 PM BST. More information is to be found at LTHE.com.

What's a Tweet Chat?

Tweet chats are an excellent way to build a professional network and to engage in "bitesize" Continuing Professional Development (CPD). For more information on the benefits of and how to participate in a tweet chat, I recommend Introducing Tweet Chats by #LTHEchat co-founder and colleague Sue Beckingham (@suebecks).

My first job will be to create the Storify for LTHEchat 45 (the first bilingual LTHEchat) which has guest facilitator Julie Tardy (@jtardy81). It takes place at 8:00 pm GMT on Wednesday 10th February. Looking forward to it.

A Place to Practice and Reflect on BYOD4L

The fourth iteration of the short course Bring Your Own Devices for Learning (#BYOD4L) started today and as this will be my third iteration, I have decided to volunteer as a participant and mentor. The course is hosted on Wordpress at byod4l.wordpress.com and it can also be followed by watching hashtag #byod4l on Twitter and other social networks. You can also contribute by joining the BYOD4Learning Community pages on Google+.

As for my personal plans, I am planning to use a OneNote Class Notebook (link) with at least one of my classes this semester. Therefore, as a way of learning the features of OneNote myself, particularly in the context of Bring Your Own Device (BYOD), I decided to use it as a place to publish my reflections and to share it with the whole community. Here's the link: https://goo.gl/cx4dHM

It's possible to collaborate within a OneNote notebook, so contact me @cpjobling (Twitter) or +ChrisJobling (Google+) if you want write access to this resource.
