 * Apologies**:

Agenda:

 * 1) What are the three major objectives you are planning for the year? Tools, training, VLE, hardware? For me it's Google Apps, eType, and formal eLearning strategy user:daibarnes
 * 2) What dates should we have in our diary this year? What dates should we be making sure are in our staff/student diaries this year? user:dneedlestone
 * 3) Shall we leave the 5 ETRU Weeklies that haven't been transformed into podcasts? user:dajbelshaw
 * 4) By my count (including me) there's four new UK-based Directors of E-Learning in my Twitter network, the others being Laura Walker (@mrslwalker), Dan Stucke (@mrstucke) and Kerry Turner (@4goggas). Nick Dennis (@nickdennis) also has responsibility for this area in his wider remit. What are they expecting? What are their aims? How will they relate to other members of staff? See my blog post [|Why I’m trying to make myself redundant.] for my thoughts! user:dajbelshaw
 * 5) Are we going to have any ETRU 'Specials' on a given topic this term? user:dajbelshaw
