As for the great workshops, they will always be remembered by those of us who enjoyed the engagement, interaction and motivation to do something different for learning. Sadly the area at UNITEC where you motivated the masses, has been turned into a booze barn...completly gutted in homage to the god of restructuring:-) TTFN Richard Hi Alan

Hence the "they" refers to the government, not AUT. ailsa: I’m a New Zealander - and only left about a year ago, I’m quite aware of the politics surrounding the decision.

I did about 2 days of workshops at AUT, as well as one day stops at Manukau Institute of Technology (MIT)], and Waikato Institute of Technology (Wintec). I spent 2 months there in 2000 when I had the luxury of a 6 month sabbatical (http://dommy.com/az2nzau), with visits up and down the North Island, and 2 weeks of being a tourist on the South. I would jump ay an opportunity to return; NZ is a magical place for me on many levels. Yes, I was there 3 weeks in November 2004, paid for by UNITEC and others.

Did you hit any of the other universities* while you were there? * Yes, I know UNITEC isn't actually a university, but AUT are, and they so cheated UNITEC out of it. I didn't attend either - I went to <a href="http://www.vuw.ac.nz" title="Victoria University of Wellington" rel="nofollow">VUW</a>, and worked there too for a while.
