Delighted to be a part of such a vibrant conference - and the most affordable conference on the planet !! Presentation notes here. (Many Thanks to the AceWeb team.)

(Used similar notes for the talk at Advocacy Workshop, and Victorian Showcase - also great days full of information and networking.)

Interviews:

With Marty Cielens, a South Australian online design expert, who's worked for years with established commercial platforms - and recently begun to enjoy working with Moodle - a new Open Source Learning Management System. >More>

and also Martin Dougiamas, the Western Australian creator of Moodle - on what inspired him to build the system, and how programming and pedagogy are really inter-related. >More>

Overview

For our FLL program this year, we've been attempting to incorporate some online communication into the Beach website and the ComputerClub website. While we're doing this, we've also been investigating some "Open Source" software.

So far, we've added a "commenter" script to the beach site, and we're introducing a PHP-driven bulletin board to the ComputerClub site. Both solutions intended to boost the possibility of communication between visitors - of course as you can see from this site, it takes more than a comment script to produce interaction.
