[learning on screen - part deux]

Another interesting session led by Sarah Jeans, University College for the Creative Arts - Farnham

(have been searching for links to all the speakers but oddly they aren't googleable...weird)

• the blending of industry and academia - why is it important
• challenging, current industry debates, fit for purpose and inclusive experience

• difficulties for industry people coming into edu: scheduling, language, priorities, methods etc...
