Questions for the final panel

The panel on day 2 didn't get to address all the questions posed.  Use comments to add any thoughts you may have on these.  The questions from the breakout discussions included:

  • How does research impact current teaching practice, to generate the time teachers need (this one was addressed by Wendy Hall - the irclogs for 23 March)
  • Why aren't learning materials open source? (see the irclogs for Enrico Motta's response)
  • How can we encourage communities of practice as Oleg suggested?
  • Can learning objects be used to support the dialogue between teachers?
  • What is the ultimate objective that will justify or make it practical to build shared resources?
  • Who is going to describe all of the dta to make the semantic web possible?
  • How can we make use of technology to create a more supportive environment for motivating students?
  • How much effort is involved in doing semantic annotation? Is this scaleable?
  • Is the semantic web taking away a level of understanding about the web, disempowering us?
  • Is technology transforming learning, or is it business-as-usual?
  • Is learning fundamentally to do with human interaction?
  • How might we bring together the bits of the jigsaw? or 'who do we want at the party?'
  • The need for various disciplines, groups, communities to get together ... one huge project or lots of small ones?  how do we get the links and contacts set up?
