Mike,
As someone who has far less exciting things to do and can't manage
Seville, my "If I were going, what would I really want to learn from
the conference?" question goes like this (CAVEAT) - I'm not asking for
references to current work, but extensions of where "we" are at that
may be found in sunny Seville and I also appreciate the "conference
effect" of what may seem like totally unrelated sessions adding to
layers of an individual's understandings of her/his focus area (which
is an interesting area in itself):
question: How can chat help us to understand the meanings that are made
during curriculum cycles and lessons within those cycles in adult
vocational classrooms?
There are spin-offs from questions one and three (below) to mine,
methinks.
Good luck to all the lucky ones making the journey.
