"AbstractWe present a case study to evaluate the use of a Wimba Voice Board to support asynchronous audio discussion. We discuss the learning strategy and pedagogic rationale when a Voice Board was implemented within an MA module for language learners, enabling students to create learning objects and facilitating peer-to-peer learning. Previously students studying the module had communicated using text-based synchronous and asynchronous discussion only. A common criticism of text-based media is the lack of non-verbal communication. Audio communication is a richer medium where use of pitch, tone, emphasis and inflection can increase personalisation and prevent misinterpretation."

"Adding audio instructions or commentary helps you meet the needs of auditory learners, and often adds interest to the content. Schiefelbein said she often creates an audio recording of housekeeping tasks, such as deadline reminders, as well as to review what was covered the previous session. She also uses the Wimba Voice Board to create an audio-based discussion board which students use to discuss topics and reply to posts."

"The art of writing on the discussion board is to keep the conversation going."

We are stooping lower. After an Apple presentation, a US school board moves to claim copyright on all student and staff work.

"The Access Copyright defeat on three key issues should have a significant impact on the education battle: repertoire, the breadth of insubstantial copying, and fair dealing."

UBC centre for teaching, learning and technology organisational chart - positioned under the Provost Academic with senior advisory board - interesting.

"It isn't a completely introductory level document, but should be useful and informative for people who have a responsibility care towards children and young people - including governors, principals and senior management teams, Safeguarding boards and local authorities - people who are making decisions concerning educational provision and resourcing. It will also be very handy for anyone working within the sector and wanting to use internet based services with young people."

Online whiteboard. Allows simple drawing and text but no chat option.

"A "whiteboard culture" helps teams collaborate, improves the development and testing process, and - oh yeah - also secures long term savings."--Ahh so this is why there is a whiteboard behind me!

"OpenMeetings is a free browser-based software that allows you to instantly set up a conference in the Web. You can use your microphone or webcam, share documents on a white board, share your screen or record meetings."

"Xournal + a cheap tablet computer + a projector = a fairly cost effective interactive white board."

Tom Prebble comments that Ako Aotearoa are sponsoring a series of Taking the Lead workshops.

Bates' comments are something to take on board for us. Perhaps we need to create some briefing papers.

Idea Paint - make everything a whiteboard. Stop being limited by the whiteboard shape and size.
