All hands on deck: Developing technology enhanced distance learning for the marine industry
I also co-presented (and chaired) the first opening batch of sessions for the conference to a rough head count of 50 people.  My presentation was to do with the work I had been doing for the Hydrographic Academy.  I decided to angle it towards how we as Learning Technologists would approach such massive distance learning development project (More details are also available in 'My Projects' section about the technology choices made). The video includes the questions at the end.  This project is managed by Dr Richard Thain (Director, The Hydrographic Academy):

The official launch video for the Hydrographic Academy

I finally got time to edit the footage I took for the official launch of the Hydrographic Academy. The Academy was very pleased to share the stand with the Marine Institute during the conference, with the launch being held at our industrial partners stand (Fugro).  This video shows some highlights at the both stands and clips around the conference, plus the speeches from both Andrew McNeill (Global Learning & Development Manager. Fugro), Barbara Bond (Pro-Chancellor, Plymouth University) and Dr Richard Thain (Project Manager, Hydrographic Academy).  All attendees were treated to a Plymouth Gin and tonic, to mark the occasion. More details can be found on the Hydrographic Academy Blog post 'Making a splash...'  Hope you enjoy the video.

Those interested in the technical elements of the filming.  I used a Canon 600D, 18-55mm lens throughout. The audio gain was set to manual and a Zoom H1 attached to provide stereo sound. All editing was performed in Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5
