Dearest listeners,

It’s our birthday. 

Today, The Edtech Podcast is three years old! Thank you to all of our supporters, new and old, who have helped us along the way. A quick reprise and some announcements of what we’ve got coming up here. If you’re feeling especially generous feel free to give us a rate or review at iTunes etc. where you listen in.

What’s in this week’s episode? 

Welcome to episode three of the Education 4.0 series, co-curated with our friends at Jisc, looking at where, when and how learning will happen when many of us spend lots of time online.

We worked super-hard on this episode of The Edtech Podcast, looking at Online Education. James Clay at Jisc gave us the run-down on synchronous and asynchronous, formal and informal online learning, Hattie Abretti, Digital Learning Development Manager, at a fast-growing FE college in the UK, talked about the importance of quality and community, whilst Shira Liberty, Global Director of Education, Selina and Seth Haberman, CEO, Sense Education talked about two very different ways to crack engagement online (think beaches vs. batches).
