9th November 2001 Colloquia 1.3.1 released This release fixes some bugs and adds some new features. 6th October 2001 Colloquia Software Reviewed in New Scientist Considering that we are supposedly in the "Communication Age", a lot of time is still spent travelling to meetings for that face-to-face experience. Mike Holderness, in his article in October's edition of the New Scientist, suggests that this is not really necessary and that the only reason why virtual meetings (and virtual universities) do not yet exist is because the software is not yet available. However, Colloquia, he says, has caught his attention. He discusses the pedagogical approach to Colloquia and compares it to the approach generally made by Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) writers. The thinking behind Colloquia sees students as workers rather than customers, thereby allowing them to create their own learning experience. The possible changes to the University environment which would be brought about by the introduction of VLEs and the likely infringing on authors' moral rights are also mentioned. These changes would obviously fan out to the student and their environment. Therefore, in conclusion, Mike Holderness, suggests that students at "...virtual universities will need a new excuse for moving out of home to escape parental restraints" and that "parents may develop new enthusiasm for their offspring to become archaeologists...". The article may be found on Page 48 of the New Scientist, dated 6th October 2001.
