Today emphasis shifts from the Big Picture forums to the Learning Organisations forums. We will start the new phase at midday (GMT +2) but all the Big Picture forums will remain open for reading and posting until the end of e/merge 2006. Joseph Novak who is the pioneer of concept mapping in education is with us in the Novakian Concept Mapping Workshop. Today the "Eight Emerging Competencies of Online Interaction" workshop features Tolerance for Ambiguity.

Live events today: Teatime Chat from 11.00 - 11.30 if you want to check in with fellow e/mergers. Follow the link from the Events Schedule.

The planned keynote by the Mozambican Minister of Education will be delivered as a narrated Powerpoint since the really bad bandwidth contraints within Southern Africa would make a live event too risky. An announcement will be made as soon as the presentation is available.
