Social media, the democratisation of knowledge and physiotherapy. Can they play nice together?

The last day of HESS 2008 has come and gone.  It was a short day, but interesting nonetheless.  I had the opportunity to see the following presentations:

• Keynote: Higher education “failing the majority”: Is a four year degree the solution?
• Keynote: Education as politics
• Principles for effective professional development in higher education institutions
• Factors impacting on student learning at UWC

All in all, this was a really exciting place to be over the past few days.  I met some very interesting people and had some great conversations, which I hope will continue in the coming months and years.  It’s going to take me some time to go through my notes and reflect on what I’ve learned.

On top of that, my first visit to Grahamstown and Rhodes University was a wonderful experience and I hope to be back this way sometime soon.
