Hi my name is jason Norton and I am part of the Learning Technologist group (LTSS) at University College London. I am the Programme Manager for our Central Online Media Projects (iTunes U, Lecture Capture, Online Media Distribution Tool) and try to involve myself with most things media related going on when I get to find out about them to bring a centralised or if not informed approach to what is going on around campus. I am currently invovled with the Steeple Project (http://www.steeple.org.uk/wiki/Main_Page) and also working on the creation of a new media special interest group with ALT. I heard about this group during a Presentation by Bill Rankin at an Apple Educators day.

Hi, I am a 1987 ACU graduate and business owner in Waco, Texas. I try to help ACU's mobile learning team on various projects, so I think connecting to CIRCL will benefit future projects.

My name is Mark Phillips and I teach in the College of Business at ACU. I have large sections (up to 85 students) and I'm in the middle of redesigning my course around connected/converged tools and outcome-oriented learning. You can read about my first semester using connected learning tools at my site: www.connectedprof.org. I have seen two major benefits. First, the opportunity to send my students out onto the Web to gather information while we are doing specific projects, and second, the ability of classroom response systems to engage with a huge room full of people. I am hoping to have a group of students this fall write their own electronic textbook replacement as a course project.

Thank you, Kenny! I am very glad to be one member of the mobile learning team. My mother is an English teacher and my father is a headmaster of a technical school. They are all engaged in the teaching career for decades. I think they will be interested of using the advanced technology-mobile phone to help the students to learn. Maybe in the future I can birng the mobile learning storm to China. It will be fantastic!

Hi my name is Gary Tucker. I work with Dwayne here at ACU. I am the Director of ACU Online (http://onlineacu.com). Now for those of you who are not familiar with ACU, you maybe asking yourself, "Self, isn't mobile learning online learning?" You should answer yourself with a resounding "Yes!" But alias, here at ACU, like may institutions of higher education, we like to keep things in little boxes so we know what to do with them. Mobile learning is that little box over there and ACU online is that box way over there. Dwayne and I are working very hard to get out of our boxes.

Hi I am a middle school principal in Virginia with a great interest in mobile learning. I am excited about meeting others with the same interest. We are piloting several mobile learning projects at my school (regular cell phones, smart phones, ipod touch and Nintend DS). I am looking forward to sharing information with you. I just began a Mobile Learning Blog: http://anytimeanywherelearning.blogspot.com/. Can someone help me with converged learning?

Hello, I'm Brian and, as you see, have just joined and posted a couple of iPad-related things. In fact, I am about to retire from 'formal' employment in the UK HE sector. However, I have plenty of research and teaching-related things to keep me busy. This includes mobile technology and e-books but also the development of better education for students from the technology to the pedagogy. I shall be provocative, perhaps because of my advancing years! So, let me start with three things I want to see reduced in importance: the VLE, the examination (essay-type anyway) and the lecture format of indoctrination. Enough for one afternoon - other than to add I am a National Teaching Fellow and on the Association of Learning Technology (ALT) Research Committee.
