First Written Impressions about the Vancouver Meeting #

I got back from Vancouver late last night. Today, I was back at work, attending a meeting at the CDL and talking with my colleagues at the IU. A very good day, full of catching up, reflecting on the great amount of activity in which we have been awashed, and yes, doing a bit of gossiping (that is to say, engaging in communal learning).

My hope is to write a thoughtful essay on what I learned in Vancouver -- but sorry, I can't do that right now. I do have to say that my overall impression is that of a vibrant scene with lots of energy and much progress -- but one that gets very little attention in the U.S. Not surprising, I suppose, since that's really not that different from all things in how Canadians and Americans relate.

I've been particularly interested in eduSource, particularly the use of the eduSource Communications Language (ECL) in that project and how ECL might be fruitfully applied outside of Canada. No doubt, I'll have more to say on this topic when I sit down to do some concrete work in the area.

There is much more to say -- but I'll leave it at that given that I'm within 10 minutes of 11pm.
