To me I think it a great idea – what strikes me is that the collaboration technology is very similar to some of the things the OU is coming up with.

So how long before Grockit have open source competition?

I agree about Tc50 and DEMO having a lack of educational ideas – we have discussed this before.

I think the idea of BETTr is great – give me a call!

Maybe something in central London? Sure I can source us a venue.

The attendee organised fringe activity (F-ALT) at this years ALT-C worked out really well. The wiki is still in process but you can see how we did it here:

People learn not ‘enterprises’..

I understand the need for a business model but do they all have to be the same?

I think something around BETT would be cool – the BETT Fringe??

Learning products still needs a business model, Grokit have theirs nailed which is part of why its such a great idea.

If it weren’t in London I’d suggest piggy-backing off BETT in Jan. Perhaps we need a BETTer (or in 2.0 parlance a BETTr) conference in Nov/Dec?
