Interview with Ian Mathers and Yvonne Monterroso November 23, 2009
Posted by sarahhorrigan in : Comms , trackbackA couple of weeks ago I had the opportunity to speak to our Desire2Learn colleagues Ian Mathers (Programme Manager for the Learning Repository at Desire2Learn and Technology Work Package lead) and Yvonne Monterroso (Product Manager for the Learning Repository at Desire2Learn) about their involvement with SHARE and to get an update on where they are with the project so far. Since Ian and Yvonne are based in Kitchener, Canada and we’re based in Nottingham we used Skype to conduct the interview and it was a really easy way of touching base with them both.
In this Podcast, Ian and Yvonne talk about the relationship between Desire2Learn and NTU, the way in which learning object repositories allow ‘education to broaden its horizons with so much sharing’ as well as the importance of getting the technology right to enable change in teaching practices. It comes across strongly that the benefits of SHARE will extend far beyond the project’s life and the enthusiasm from both Ian and Yvonne is infectious!
We’ll be talking to Ian and Yvonne later on in the project to see how things have continued to develop and we look forward to tracking their progress.
