Hi John - I have commented on a few of your MultiMedia Literacy student's blogs. Some may want to edit their comment settings to either approve my comments (if they like them!) or alter the moderation settings etc. Some have raised some very interesting questions!

Hi John I went to oac for a session on moodle the other day and did a quick talk about me - Sue Johnston is already a member and certainly talked it up.
