Eamon Costello

Who’s Zoomin’ Who? – 12 – Eamon Costello

In episode twelve of Who’s Zoomin’ Who? Eamon Costello from DCU turns the tables somewhat and manages to ask Ken a question, talks about Springboard and DCU Connected, the challenges of assessment, the diversity of modern life, academic writing, sanctuary scholars and he even manages to mention Tipperary hurling.

Ken McCarthy is still umming and ahhing, trying to sound in some way intelligent and is still trying to ask some sensible questions.

Sometimes funny, mostly serious, but hopefully entertaining.

Tom O’Mara

Who’s Zoomin’ Who? – 11 – Tom O’Mara

In episode eleven of Who’s Zoomin’ Who?  Tom O’Mara from UCC talks about the lexicon of learning, the connected university, digital badges in UCC and the challenges of COVID-19.  Tom also looks forward to September and what the new academic year might hold while outlining some of the steps that they are taking in UCC to prepare for next semester.

Ken McCarthy is still using his new headset and it still doesn’t help with the umming and ahhing, but he is still trying to ask some sensible questions.

Sometimes funny, mostly serious, but hopefully entertaining.

Carina Ginty

Who’s Zoomin’ Who? – 10 – Carina Ginty

In episode ten of Who’s Zoomin’ Who? Carina Ginty from GMIT talks about the iNote project and the recently launched DigitalEd learning environment which aims to equip CUA (Connacht Ulster Alliance) – GMIT, IT Sligo and LyIT staff with the necessary skills to teach online. Carina also reflects on the rapid move online and ponders on what the future might hold.

Ken McCarthy did get a new headset but doesn’t think it has helped with the umming and ahhing, and he is still trying to ask some sensible questions.

Sometimes funny, mostly serious, but hopefully entertaining.

Brian Mulligan

Who’s Zoomin’ Who? – 09 – Brian Mulligan

In episode nine of Who’s Zoomin’ Who, Brian Mulligan talks about his long history of innovation and discovery in online learning and educational technology, the IT Sligo online model, their response to the COVID-19 crisis and imagines what future legacy might emerge from where we are now.

Ken McCarthy still hasn’t gotten any better at umming and ahhing, gives a somewhat damning opinion on exams and yet still asks some sensible questions. Sometimes funny, mostly serious, but hopefully entertaining.
