It’s the end of January and I haven’t really started the year with much activity across my blogs so this is an end of month update in the hope that in February I’ll get to write something before that month is over and now that the tax return is filed. I’m really excited that the Human-Computer Interaction class I have signed up for is finally starting tomorrow and there is still time to join the class. I’m also delighted to see ALT’s journal Research in Learning Technology on its new Open Access platform, with the entire archive of the journal as well as current issues now being available. On a less technological note, it’s time to think about what to grow in the veg patch this season and I have been having company while trying to decide.
