Thit - Operations Manager had a look through the media and FLL book with pics. Is very interested in 'emotional intelligence' and has asked to have anything in this area passed on - I was hoping to fit in learning more about this!
Met Kerry -business partner to our IT support person. Has several very interesting online courses. Took notes on his experiences with older adult learners responses to online learning compared with under 30s - very interesting - must type them up. He is also working in the PDA area for rmote access, must pass on his web site to FLLs researching this area.

New term - 'Foresighting' used instead of 'predicting' We were asked to respond to thought provoking questions.

I had an opportunity to present the Australian Flexible Learning Framework initiatives as positive models for encouraging involvement in the learning process - gave them a leaflet - the seemed interested. Spoke about characteristics of Adult learners and implications for materials and in particular online materials. I also advocate for more research into older adult uptake of ICT.
Met a very interesting person from Newcastle Council, Theresa Postma. Got her card and will follow up as she has a network - lifelong learning, that probably includes some of our consortium partners.

Reflection on my input - I need to know the meanings of a few more buzzwords and acronyms - but don't use them!!! I need to develop some concise answers and explanations that I may be often required to provide.
