    Hi I have worked quite a lot with nurse educators in Britain. They have used Moodle a lot and I would be happy to share what I know about this.

    I’m interested in this group as I work for Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance. I think that there may be overlaps with art, design and architecture. Most staff are experts in the field of either music and dance. Many of the courses are highly practical. Thus due to the specialised nature of the teaching that is conducted within our institution, we need to ensure alignment with our creative application of learning technology. For some staff, a learning environment is a music stand and some sheet music!

    @cbokhove – I couldn’t agree more. Why this snobbery about i-pads use in education? We should be using technology and software that is based on open standards.

    Also I fear academics get so excited about ‘using the ipad’ in education and talking endlessly about other concepts such as ‘digital natives’ – when in fact this is out of touch with younger learners and what they *think and do* online
