Navigating the social media maze for academics
Life for an academic these days seems to be getting more complex. In addition to the traditional tasks – teaching, researching, and publishing – the job has expanded to include endless grant applications and the need to develop a public persona to publicise their work. All of this is in addition to having some kind of personal life and human relationships. The advent of social media has made life … Continue reading Navigating the social media maze for academics

One need only to look at the size of the global games market. … Continue reading Serious games for business and education #GlobalSCRM

Stages in the Learning Journey
Speaking with friends who are educators of the young one, thing has become apparent. The idea that learning is achieved by building foundations or layers of knowledge is passe.
