Auricle has existed in one form or another since the early 1980s. It first started life as a newsletter prepared on what was then the innovative Acorn/BBC microcomputer and printed using a humble dot matrix computer. This blog version of Auricle was launched in January 2004. It was one of the first UK Higher Education blogs addressing issues relating to the use (and sometimes abuse) of learning technologies. It was originally a multi-author blog and was previously hosted by the University of Bath before moving to the permanent auricle.org domain. It has been curated and contributed to since its inception by Derek Morrison.
