I spent last week in London at Learning Technologies Exhibition and Conference.

Welcome to 2008. I’ve had a fantastic start to the year, with the joys of becoming a father for the first time. Lilia is gorgeous, hard work at times and suddenly 9:30 pm has turned into an eminently sensible time to go to bed, rather than a time to move on to the second pub. Back in the world of work, the start of the new year means that the biggest e-learning event of the year is on the horizon. The Learning Technologies show is on 30 and 31 January. MORE

It seems like this is the time of year when newspapers are putting together lots of lists of the highlights of the year, so I thought I’d jump on the bandwagon. My list is of new media treatments that could be used for learning. It’s unusual in that it only has one item. Have a look at Darth Vader canteen on Youtube. It combines great content with an attention grabbing yet harmonious media treatment.
