TALO Swap and Meet 2006: The journey begins ..

The annual TALO (Teaching & Learning Online) Swap and Meet 2006 convenes today in Dunedin. For those on the team not familiar with TALO, it's a networked learning community engaged in all things eLearning, flexible delivery, online education, networked learning, and web 2.0.

Each year we hold a f2f event where community members meet for an open source conference.
The 2005 Swap and Meet was held in the Blue Mountains in Sydney.

This year the event is being held in New Zealand with the theme of “The Future of Learning in a Networked World” It’s somewhat of a travelling road show this year beginning in Dunedin on September 18 to 20, then traversing to participating institutions to continue open space meetings with local audiences.
You can see a very cool Google Maps based web2.0 service which will chart their journey using Community Walks @

If you have a spare moment or 2 over the next over the next 12 days I highly recommend you pop in and check out the progress of the conference and participate in the online conversations.

Hey with so many web2.0 gurus and devotes in one place there is bound to be lots of interesting online social network working activity happening in the form of blogs, podcasting, vblogging, moblogging etc.

Good entry points to the network are
