An e-learning forum today debated whether we need the "e" in e-learning. Not sure it covered anything new, but I was twittering from the back with a computing academic which at least kept me engaged.

(I couldn't but help pointing out that actually e-learning needs two ees.)

It was interesting to note that not only were a couple of people I knew following the tweets, but someone I vaguely knew from having met once at a conference last year who took the trouble to thank me for the 'coverage' as it was useful. Presumably as an unemployed librarian with a job interview it's helpful to keep up with current concerns. But it reminded me that Twitter can actually be useful.
