Tools/platforms come and go
We don’t have to be experts!
Honest, open dialogue is key
Learners support learners

Recognition of learner roles

TIME TO THINK ABOUT NEW
MODELS FOR SUPPORT?
Open, Social, Mobile, Networked, Responsive, Flexible

41. Email
(fire
fighNng)
Hi
all,
Thanks
to
you
lot
and
your
detecNve
work
(and
gezng
me
his
email
address
;)
I’ve
just
made
contact
with
the
mysterious
Rufi
Franzen.
Firstly,
you’ll
be
relieved
to
know
that
you
have
nothing
to
worry
about
in
terms
of
data
security
–
there
have
been
no
breaches
of
security.
I
can’t
say
any
more
at
the
moment
as
I’ve
been
sworn
to
secrecy,
so
I
need
you
to
trust
me
on
this.
What
I
do
know
is
that
this
is
going
somewhere
good
–
amazing
in
fact.
I
don’t
know
much
more
at
this
stage,
and
I’m
not
sure
I’m
going
to
be
told.
Anyway,
let’s
chat
about
it
tomorrow
–
remember
the
feedback
session
3-­‐5
in
3.34!
See
you
tomorrow.
This
is
crazy
–
but
ace.

“The

“We
could
make

get
everybody
