Some, of course, will have had experience from teaching practice or otherwise. It may be that the feedback came from them, but I’d have thought such people would have sorted out any difficulties during their time in school.

In the ICT world, there’s now an assumption that people will pick up email if they want to, but that may not be valid. Perhaps there’s more of a need for email training than we think, not just among this group but among those existing staff who continue to avoid it. The peculiarities and black holes probably don’t help.

Like John, though, I was disappointed that feedback about our decision to use the time to introduce Glow, roll-out of which is now imminent in East Lothian, wasn’t more positive.

I also have noticed the comments problem, so will be having a look at that as soon as I can. It may indicate that our current comment spam system isn’t living happily with the upgraded version. I plan to change it anyway, just letting the new WPMU version bed down first.

Apart from that, I quite the new interface – thanks!
