English UK conference, again

Yes, another year, another invitation to speak before my peers. This year, I'll be doing a bit of practical stuff - online records of work, with my tag-team buddy Chloe Courtenay. We had a practice run-through of what we'll be doing next saturday (15th) at the conference. Something we've all been experimenting with is using a VLE tro support the paperwork side of things , and especially the record of work where a class is shared between several people. Having a document that is readiliy available anywhere just makes it easy to do.
As you might remember, last year I was up against Adrian Underhill; This year we're going head to head with Jim Scrivener. No probs.
Anyone interested in online records of work could do worse than visit this site, where I'm playing with them, alongside other stuff.
