I'm really interested to see how the pathology residents engage with this resource. I also like evaluation research, so determining the usefulness of the resource as a teaching aid is of interest to me i.e. how can we validate it?

I'm also interested in how we can replicate good face to face communication in an online environment, as i think it's the 'personal touch' that will be most difficult to simulate online. As we discussed at the July 07 workshop, this can be simulated through reflection and personal anecdotes.<br>

I'd quite like to establish a section on teaching tips and pedagogy, so we can look at things like how we 'scaffold' learning (term coined by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerome_Bruner Jerome Bruner]).

My best learning experience ....? This takes me back to being an archaeology student. We had this great lecturer, John Barrett. He was a bronze or iron age man (I can't actually remember now!), and he was very inspirational, especially on field trips. What I liked about John's teaching was that he encouraged us to thing about exploring archaeological sites in three dimensions i.e. imagine how the spaces would have been constructed, where the walls and doors would have been, and how people moved through space. I guess that's got implications for virtual space. How will people navigate through this virtual world that we're creating? How do they create meaning in a way that's personal to them?
