ABSTRACT:
The CAMEL Moot will debate issues about collaboration across digital divides regarding the CAMEL communities of practice e-learning model. CAMEL was derived from the JISC infoNet/ALT HEFCE LGM-funded 2005-06 lifelong learning HE-FE project Collaborative Approaches to the Management of e-Learning (CAMEL), based on a Uruguayan farming self-help group. Symposium presenters will include: Seb Schmoller (Originator, CAMEL), Gill Ferrell (JISC infoNet CAMEL, Tangible Benefits Project), Professor Terry Mayes (Higher Education Academy/JISC Pathfinder programme), David Kay (South Yorkshire e-Inclusion Project), Cathy Ellis (Becta: the Technology Exemplar Network), Jill Jameson (Chair, JISC eLIDA CAMEL).

2. Description of approach used / Ideas to be explored (Workshop/Symposium) (100 words max.)

Panel members will present and interactively debate experiences and reflections on the CAMEL model and its relationships with digital divides issues. The original CAMEL project stimulated numerous applied e-learning implementations of the CoP approach. Each CAMEL presenter will consider issues such as:

(1) What 'works'/what doesn't work in CAMEL? Are collaborative e-learning approaches important? Why?

(2) What 'digital divide' issues emerge from CAMEL?

(3) How far can e-learning CoPs be 'created'/are they self-organising entities?

(4) What is the role of nomadic 'visits'/critical friends/ ‘calzón quitao’?

Critique and summary of arguments presented.

3. Results of work done/ Structure of session and activities (Workshop/Symposium) (150 words max.)

Panel members from different CAMEL projects will present and debate reflections on CAMEL. Five CAMEL project presenters will consider what was useful or not in their projects and how this developed the CAMEL model, while panel members and the audience query/raise issues. Timings will include: five presentations of 6 minutes each, followed by a break-out session in small groups for 30 minutes. Questions to the panel will be followed by a closing summary during the remaining 30 minutes. The original CAMEL will be considered alongside approaches adopted by the Higher Education Academy/JISC Pathfinder programme for 28 HEIs in four-institution clusters supported by a critical friend, the evaluation of South Yorkshire's e-Inclusion Project, Tangible Benefits project, Becta’s Technology Exemplar Network and eLIDA CAMEL.
