Introducing myself

I can't work out how to do the blog thing on this page... when I link to the blog on the member page it doesn't have a publications group box to tick - sorry

Here I am again.   This time I am trying to respond to this post which 'appears' in the "Publications Group" subset, and the "ALARPM Website" subset of 'Groups'.

Apparently, though I am not a member of the "Publications Group", I can respond to this item since the 'Post new comment' screen appears, and I am offered the 'reply' active link. Now to see (again - first time of trying a pop-up blocker my end disconnected the process when I tried to create a link) if I can indeed post, as I did in the ALARPM website sector.

So here I am, Marg, spreading the learning too: is this too reflexive by half?

Marg,

Your above introduction clarified how 'recent' has been your move to Canberra.  What was then 'interesting' for web-based interactions and change, etc, was that following the link involved a change, and such that I am now taken to a flash web page for Online learning, which doesn't easily (to my first glance) link me to see who is on the Flexible Learning Solutions 'team'.

Dear all,

I am now working at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) in their Faculty of Design, Architecture and Building and moved here from Southern Cross University in September last year. While I was wondering what action research I will do among property managers and construction engineers  Susie Goff managed to round up action researchers at UTS for an informal get together.

Thanks to Susie's initiative we now have an action research community at UTS. We have held two meetings so far and planning one with Eileen (from NZ) on 24th August when we will also discuss about the ALARA monographs. There seems to be an across the board interest in action research and action learning.

UTS is located right in the centre of CBD (opposite the Central Station) and so if you want some 'action researching and learning company' you can let me know and I will keep you informed of any meetings or seminars that are held at the campus

Cheers

Shankar

Margaret,

You have taught me another lesson.   Post my own 'introducing myself' blog entry, and then have it appear in the various groups to which I am a member ... such efficiency!

Hi again all, and thanks Shankar for the AR invite! As a distance student, I'd certainly be looking for opportunities to connect with you and others shoud I be travelling to Sydney and UTS especially.

I get the sense there's a burgeoning AR community developing with UTS as a space or focus point, which is wonderful!

I guess it's a case of not only watch this space, but create this space further!

Cheers, Marg :o)
