My first (proper) conference paper

This was as the Networked Learning Conference 2008. The paper is freely available, with all the others, at:
http://www.networkedlearningconference.org.uk/past/nlc2008/abstracts/Johnson.htm

It felt very much like a side-show at the time, but now it's there, online... This is useful as I try to build on that with some qualitative research (with the 2010 conference very much in mind).

Chris Jones mentioned to me that theory building takes time. Let's do something, even if only a fraction of my time can go towards it, worth the effort - far too much of the other sort around in e-learning. I see this recent (good) paper, in JAN by Wilkinson, While and Roberts, as a commentary on the state of things in the literature http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2648.2008.04924.x
