Ian MacLeod – Academic Chair of the Schools of Applied Arts and New Media, Business, and Health and Human Services at the Institute of Technology campus of the Nova Scotia Community College, I have an interest in problem-based learning, competency-based assessment, and alternative educational methodologies and delivery methods. I am actively exploring Web 2.0 tools and technologies and supporting faculty in the implementation of these tools and technologies into their professional practices. I believe that social networking is the future of learning-centred education. Lately I have been researching and exploring the use of social media in the development and use of PLEs- Personal learning Environments – learner created and learner-controlled – this is where I see adult education going – out of the traditional classroom and into the hands of learners wherever they may be.
