I first met Stephen in the days of HEADNet (the HyperCard Educational Application Developers Network) in 1988. Subsequently we worked on the Renaissance project to develop CD-ROM multimedia. I then joined Stephen at Anglia Higher Education College in 1990 and worked alongside him to develop the Ultralab as a research and development centre until he left in 2004.

Strategies for Computer Assisted Learning
-
This essay discusses some strategies for using the computer as an aid to learning. In order to set the discussion in context, some views of the education scene are outlined in terms of pupil's learning and cognition, the teacher-pupil relationship and the role of the computer in the learning process. Three examples of strategies for computer assisted learning are described and the arguments for and against each reviewed in terms of the education scene outlined.

Strong community, deep learning: exploring the link
-
This explores the constructivist understanding that shared practitioner research in collaborative online spaces leads to deeper learning. The research was developed within the context of building the National College of School Leadership's (NCSL's) online learning communities. A community and a learning scale, both emerging through grounded analysis, are applied to six conversations across both formal and informal learning contexts. When representing the findings, a strong similarity in the community and learning graphs suggests an association between the two. Recommendations point to the importance of building collaboration and community, integrating formative assessment, and freeing the learning-facilitator from tasks that the community can fulfil, so that they can focus on their primary role of facilitating quality learning.
