Sylvia in her Melbourne Cup hat!
Last night I met Sylvia Edwards, Mandy Lupton and Hilary Hughes, some IL researchers and experts from Brisbane. Mandy and Sylvia have written a fascinating article – Six frames for IL education (see link above), which is well worth reading as it explains a model for understanding different perspectives of IL. It was great to meet people whose work I have admired from afar and to get their advice on my project and what value they think it will have. Sylvia also plans to introduce me to some people doing research on the First Year experience, which will be very helpful and Hilary has given me some useful info on international student issues.
