Without a doubt the zenith of the recent CETIS08 conference has to be the evolution of a new concept in educational technology - eduprog.

Eduprog crystalised from the domains of metadata, repositories, educational technology and unusual puddings and is set to challenge edupunk as the real underground movement of the moment. Seizing the zeitgeist by the scruff of the neck the term was coined by Peter Obee and formalised by andypowe11

Phil Barker has recently confirmed that the forthcoming LMAP report will be published with a gatefold sleeve.

the AV equivalent of restringing a 12 string electric lute going on here…
Last word has to go to one who was there at the dawn of eduprog:
I’ll get me cloak….

Erm, unlike prog rock one of the defining characteristics of eduprog is that it should never be taken seriously…
‘Scuse me. Can I have my cape back for the imminent launch of #edufunk? The afronauts will get chilly otherwise, at least until the interstellar funkufellowship lands and we can all climb on board…
