Food for thought

Just emerging from a close encounter with a veritable alphabetti spaghetti of learning design tools. Each one would really need about a month of training to get my head round, so a dozen or so in a fortnight proved somewhat indigestible.

First up was an apéritif, the STARR template. Then we had a choice of starters: 4-Ts, 4SPPIces (a tasty mix of CSCBL scripts, within LdShake), ISIS, e-Design, CADMOS, web collage (with a side order of CLFPs, LMS & GluePS) or DPD.  Then on, relentlessly, to the main courses, CompendiumLD & the pièce de résistance: the PPC, lovingly crafted by the chefs of TLRP-TEL, an ESRC-EPSRC funded LDSE project. Those of us who hadn't yet slipped under the table were treated to a cheeky little dessert of either a four-facet mapping matrix or a three-dimensional framework. It was all getting a bit blurred by this point, as the brandy had started to circulate...

Still, at least it straddled the Easter break, so we could stuff ourselves with chocolate when we needed a break from the fancy stuff :-)
