The Sperrins

The Sperrins or Sperrin Mountains (from Irish Speirín ‘little pinnacle’) are a range of mountains in Northern Ireland.


Features

Geologically, the Sperrins are formed mostly from Precambrian metamorphic rocks, with some younger Ordovician igneous rocks in the southern flank of the range. The Mountains are very sparsely populated and provide habitat for a diverse range of birds and mammals. Red fox, Sika Deer, Pine Marten and Red Squirrels are commonly found there alongside Peregrine Falcons, Buzzards and Sparrowhawks. Visiting Golden Eagles from the neighbouring reintroduced Donegal population have been sighted across the range from Strabane to Draperstown although no breeding population has yet been established. The Mountains also provide one of the last refuges of Red Grouse in Northern Ireland.


Politics

Sperrin was the name of a proposed UK constituency.

AMEE Vienna 2019

AMEE 2019

We attended the Technology Enhanced Learning “pre-conference”. Interesting talks and discussions on the “near future” of Technology Enhanced Learning in Medical Education.
E-learning and Technology Enhanced Learning featured a lot at the main conference itself. There was much emphasis on cutting edge areas such as AI and Virtual Reality. Our feeling is that this will take a long time to get to the mainstream of medical education – if it ever does. In the meantime medical educators are lacking the tools to get engaging content online in sufficient volume. This needs to be an everyday activity and educators will need Authoring Systems such as Causeway to achieve this.

Ulster Bank Entrepreneur Accelerator Programme

AMEE Conference, Basel 2018

AMEE was held in Basel Switzerland this year.  The European organisation has become an International Conference for Medical Educators.  For us it was a good place to meet and discuss with those who have an interest in the development of innovative eLearning solutions for health care educators.

There was much discussion, for example, about the role of Virtual and Augmented reality and it was apparent from a number of presentations that these technologies have their limitations.  Augmented reality, for example (when computer generated images are superimposed on the real world through the use of special glasses) has significant limitations with regard to the field of vision – which can be limited to 50 – 60 degrees. We will keep a watching brief on this technology but our feeling is that this is not quite ready and is still at the stage of a solution looking for a problem.  There are however many excitement developments in the use of VR for Anatomy.

In the trade exhibitions there were many companies offering solutions for anatomy teaching eg Plastination, 3D printing and video anatomy tables.  There were exhibitors offering a variety of solutions for assessment and also publishing houses offering content online.

AACE Conference Amsterdam 25th – 29th June 2018

We attended the AACE  EdMedia and Innovate conference in Amsterdam last month.
As well as great Keynote presentations from primary secondary and tertiary eduction, there was a varied scientific paper programme and a number of Special Interest Groups.  Among the latter an SIG on Learning Design proved to be particularly interesting and relevant.  Too often technologists are led by the… technology, rather than considering the Learning needs first and aspects of how these might be met by the design of the learning programme.  We hope to keep in touch with this group.
Keynotes from across the educational sectors gave much food for thought and each had a relevance for each sector. For example,  Maurice de Hond, a well known personality in Holland spoke about how primary education had to be more individualized to the learner and demonstrated software to facilitate this.

Inish Education Technology awarded a TechStart NI grant

March 2018
As a “Start-up” company, we are delighted to have been awarded a TechStart Northern Ireland “Concept Grant”
TechStart NI helps ” entrepreneurs build successful technology businesses from the ground up…… through the provision of advice, grants and seed investment”.

The grant was competitive  and the application process involved us in a written submission setting out our stall and, after short-listing, presenting how we would develop our concept to the TechStart NI panel.

It is very pleasing to not only receive funding but especially to have the recognition and support that the award affords
