Often when we think of ramping up the effectiveness of learning and supporting technologies, we think of the instructional designer at the centre of innovation. Wrong! Innovative practice in learning technology grows up in a community, a village, and in a social world with input and understanding from the village. The most effective impacts in learning technologies belong to and are shaped by this community.

8. Assessment & task design is critical
• Start with assessment rather than the learning resource
• Work-real tasks as close to the real deal as possible

9. Content curation rather than resource development
