     It is exciting! Did my presentation on collaborative learning, have heard that interview questions are based on it.

     Was just wondering, did you focus on your key issues throughout the whole presentation? I just read mine over there and noticed I started to get more general about teaching etc on the second and third parts.

    Well i kept it quite focussed during the second part, then proceeded to go reasonably vague on the third part. But so long as what you're saying is still relevant and they can pick up something to talk about then that should be fine.They'll probably spend most of the time talking about things from your application.

    Hi I am in the same boat as you...I generalised about the video and then discussed the more specific areas.....very difficult to keep it down to 5mins!!!! :)

     It is very hard! Mine was 9 minutes the other day- oops! The CL video is about CL obviously and AFL so there is just too much to say!

     Will let you know about all the curveballs they throw at us. It'll be at a rate of £100 per question though Devil
