Video case studies

My colleagues Esther Barrett and Russell Symmons down in Swansea have just been putting together some lovely video ‘footage’ (should we still be calling it that) of adult learners using technology in all kinds of inspiring ways. These are often learners who have not used computers at all before, and many are doing course which have no obvious relationship to computers (e.g. lacemaking and stickmaking). Nevertheless, you can tell from the way that the talk about it that the technology has made a big difference to their work. Interestingly, it is often the communications bit of the ICT which really appeals, and first-time users can skip formatting disks etc, and go straight to blogging. More power to their collective elbow!

Here’s a link to the video.
