Yesterday I had a lengthy catch-up talk (via Skype) with my Barcelona-based friend Gilbert Peffer. As regular readers of this blog know, we had worked together intensively in the EU-funded Learning Layers (LL) project and in the follow-up phase. For the success of the LL project it was crucial that ...

Yes, the new year 2020 has started already some weeks ago - I hope you all have had a good start of the year. For me this year will be different from all of what I have experienced so far. I have returned to Bremen as has been the case ...

Yesterday I got the message from my Dutch blogger-colleague Wilfred Rubens that he has a special working anniversary: He wrote his first blog exactly sixteen years ago (here the link to Wilfred's blog post announcing the anniversary). I immediately congratulated him on his Facebook account, where he had shared his ...

The readers of my blog may have been puzzled because of my two latest blog entries: "Why on earth has this author suddenly started to write in an unusual language?" Well, partly it was due to the fact that I was very exhausted when going to my holidays in Finland. ...

The start of this year has been far from normal to me. At the end of January I had a complete computer crash. It took quite some time to get it repaired. I was working with a replacement computer (not with the same operating system, not with the same permissions ...

This year my summer break (from blogging) was longer than I expected. Partly this was due to the fact that we had to do a lot of administrative backstage work in May and June. As a consequence, my preparation for my own conference contributions was delayed. When coming back from ...

Once again it has happened - the whole May month has passed by without a single blog entry. Sometimes these things just happen. This time there was a lot of travelling to events in other countries. And at the same time there was a lot of preparatory work for proposals ...

Pontydysgu headquarters in Pontypridd, Wales and 'Pontydysgu Studio' as its filial in Bremen - that is how we have experienced it quite a long time. The name "Pontydysgu Studio" was used by Graham Attwell and Dirk Stieglitz when they worked with projects that had a radio program as its major ...
