Ian Usher is the E-Learning Co-ordinator for Bucks County Council. We asked him about innovation at the BETT 2007 show, the various things he had seen; he talked about the learning platform spec, Bucks use of Moodle, Atomwide, Adobe Connect and their implementation and dissemination at local level in Bucks. He also touched on pedagogy, e-portfolios and communities of use.The Bucks Grid for Learning website is a prime example of a well thought out strategic implementation of a Learning Platform. It's ongoing, innovative and increasingly popular - and it works!Ian is one of those rare people who not only has the vision but also the pragmatism to understand that to make e-learning happen takes time and perseverance to win hearts and minds - much of what he is doing is highly innovative and world beating.
