I notice there was no mention however of how performance, attendance and targets etc for student of FE or Work Based Learning can be tracked. WBL courses especially have complex metrics for measurement of success. VLE support has just developped a WBL module for its eTracker system fyi that can be accessed by student, employer and tutor alike. You can find a case study on the implementation of eTracker within an FE college on the Excellence Gateway: http://www.excellencegateway.org.uk/page.aspx?o=248227 Very interesting.

I enjoyed listening to the issues at hand with the use of digital technologies in work place settings. You had a broad list of guests making it a more engaging format for the audience. I look forward to more e-learning shows in the near future! Thank you for this highly informative broadcast.

It was a bit different from what we were used to with 'sounds of the bazaar' but it was equally interesting. It sounded very professional - lots of effort to put that together - that's for sure, but I think it was worth doing so. Like it was often mentioned in the chatroom the music was also superb and was a great startegy to move from one topic to the other. Of course the other part that I thoroughly enjoyed was the fact we had a live panel - totally based on spontaneous questions and answers, which the virtual audience was able to contribute with. What else can I say: keep it up! We need more of this. It not only gives access to the voices of the more experienced, it also allow us to interact with them and add our own thoughts and questions. Congratulations. I loved the innovative approach. We need more like this one... ;-) I really enjoyed the show yesterday.

It's good: the interviewees were interesting and appeared knowledgable (!); interview questions were well put and clear; the example of the plumbers I liked as it illustrated the point; the gaps in the interviews let people comment in the chat room; that I can listen again and catch the bits I half heard while typing!!! A bit strange that there was also twitter and skype going on at the same time. People obviously need to be used to working with multiple streams to get the most out of.
