A presentation as part of a Seminar Series run by London South Bank University's Centre for Research Informed Teaching.
I was really pleased to be asked to deliver this session at South Bank. Many thanks to LSBU's Marc Griffith, Head of Digitally Enhanced Education for the invitation.
In the talk I asked participants to briefly look back to 2007 (the year the first iPhone was released) but mainly we concentrated on the current picture of the use of TEL in UK Higher Education.
My overview slides with various links are available: Learning & Teaching in a Digital Landscape.
Show me the data. Sorry I can't.
I gave a presentation about the development of UWL's Learning Analytics policy at the Blackboard Teaching and Learning Conference 2017, held at Bocconi University in Milan, Italy in March 2017.
In the presentation I outlined the 10 Principles that form the foundation of our policy and the steps we took to develop and implement the policy last year. I also gave an overview of our project that initiated the need for a policy: a predictive learning analytics project aimed at maximising the continued success and retention of UWL's students.
My slides are available: Show me the data. Sorry I can't and I have also written a related article on the #ALTC Blog: 7 Tips for Developing a Learning Analytics Project.
I kicked off our second meeting of the UK Poll Everywhere User Group at City University, London with a competitive quiz using Poll Everywhere's segmentation feature.
It was a close run battle, ending in a fair 3-1/2 to 3-1/2 draw. The day as a whole went really well and I particularly enjoyed the team-based learning session expertly facilitated by Rebecca McCarter from the University of Bradford.
I have posted a full report from the day on the user group site, see 2017 User Group Meeting Resources.
I'll look ahead to the 2020s tomorrow but briefly it's useful (for me at least) to consider the last 10-years or so.
Perhaps not unsurprisingly a lot of the consultation discussion has focused on the VLE. A student's digital learning environment is, of course, much broader than institutionally provided systems (and today our institutional systems extend way beyond the VLE).
Looking back 10-years or so… could we ever have imagined today's digital learning environment?
Ten-years ago I was at the LSE and for the majority there I'd say the institutionally provided digital learning environment was very much the VLE, some library e-resources and desktop-based software. From 2005-8 we investigated, piloted and implemented Moodle (replacing WebCT). Alongside that we dabbled with blogs, elgg (remember that??) and a little later I think, Second Life.
Ten years later and the 2016 VLE is little changed. Overall usage has grown, and the VLE's use for e-assessment in particular, but what the systems actually do, look-like and enable… not so much. They are certainly recognisable. One area of change, in terms of systems, has been the arrival of new online tools and services, which have extended the institutional digital learning environment. I'm thinking of lecture recording and e-portfolios in particular.
Why not? It's easy to blame the systems shortcomings and they could be better. But innovative practitioners who want to try new things, can do, even if it requires some clunky work-arounds. The inertia and lack of change ultimately comes down to people and the approach to teaching and learning at our institutions.
The big change we (certainly I) didn't foresee in the mid-2000s was the social media (aka web2.0) explosion and the participatory nature of the Internet we have today. It was September 2006 when UK universities first got access to Facebook and not until 2008 that Twitter really took off. The bigger digital learning environment has changed dramatically in contrast to university provided tools.
A change we knew was coming, which is central to digital learning environments today was mobile. (Although personally in 2010 I suggested the iPad would never catch-on).
The 38th Heads of E-Learning Forum (HeLF) meeting was held at the University of Birmingham on 9th June, 2016. It was the first HeLF event I have organised as a new member of the HeLF Steering Group.
The focus of the meeting was Enabling Strategic Change and it included a panel discussion on TEL strategies, groups discussions on policies and frameworks, as well as 5 short presentations. There are resources from the meeting on the HeLF website. I was really pleased with how it went on the day and particularly with the large number of people I managed to encourage to present and facilitate sessions – 14 in total. So many thanks to Mark Gamble, Fiona Strawbridge, Chris Turnock, Peter Bryant, Stella Ekebuisi, Catherine Naamani, Sue Gill, Brian Irwin, Uwe Richter, Alicia Mcconnell, Sarah Hayes, Sarah Davies, Rob Howe, and Amber Thomas, for making it a successful day.
At the end of the meeting we started looking forward to next year with a brainstorming session for 2016-17.

Rice et al. (2004) National "English for Speakers of Other Languages" (ESOL) Strategy: mapping exercise and scoping study
Rice et al. (2004) authored a Scottish Government commissioned study which explores issues faced by non-English speakers and their teachers within an educational context. The study provides a qualitative resource drawing on discussions and interviews with a wide range of participants. The report's key findings include the recognition that there are long waiting lists for those wishing to enrol on English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) courses. In addition, there is a critical need for more qualified teaching staff and a lack of childcare facilities for parent-learners. The study also draws attention to the success of a number of small scale projects which have helped skilled migrants to gain their English proficiency certificates and to improve their employment prospects. Also see Rice et al. (2008) relating to publically funded courses, Weedon et al. (2011) for a workplace context, Wells (2012) for ESOL in the Outer Hebrides, Beadle and Silverman (2007) for a study which incorporates provider and learner perspectives and Learning Link Scotland (2007) for a study of the voluntary sector.

As Egypt looks to plug the huge demand gap in housing, Tatweer Misr has developed a unique project that will integrate housing, education facilities, a university and start-up incubators that will become a hub for living, innovation and entrepreneurship.
Steadfast development of housing, new cities and infrastructure projects have made Egypt's real estate one of the most attractive investment segments for foreign investors. With high population growth, around 500,000 new housing units are needed per year, leaving a huge demand gap to be filled both by government social housing schemes and private developers, who currently deliver around 50-60,000 units annually.
The real estate sector is poised to take off following the inauguration of 14 cities worth 22.5 billion dollars. It is projected that 700,000 units will be added in 2020 by the Ministry of Housing, which also wants to engage the private sector in the development of social housing.
With Egypt's old towns and cities too congested and unable to handle more capacity, the construction of liveable, breathable new urban centres has been deemed the way forward for the country, which still has vast swathes of unoccupied land primed for development. (Egyptians currently live on just 7 percent of the country's total land area).
"Now we have the land, we have different projects, the new administrative capital and other new cities, I think that the government spending in infrastructure is just opening the way for more investments to come in to the country," says Ahmed Shalaby, CEO and Managing Director of Tatweer Misr for Real Estate Development.
This type of integrated development, incorporating schools, universities and hospitals in new liveable spaces away from congested old population centers, is something Tatweer Misr is already doing at its Bloomfields development located just 15 minutes from the New Administrative Capital.
As Tatweer Misr has called it, Bloomfields is "a breakthrough perspective on integrated living offering new concept homes designed for every lifestyle, ranging from one up to four-bedroom residences." With education, science and innovation at its heart, the 415-acre development will also comprise an entrepreneurial university, a lively college town, internationally acclaimed schools, and is set to become Egypt's hotbed for startups and entrepreneurs.
Tatweer Misr has held talks with a number of U.S. universities and recently penned an agreement with the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) and Ocean County College (OCC) in order to establish Egypt's first American International Branch Campus (IBC) at Bloomfields.
This agreement follows the establishment of another partnership with Global Entrepreneurship Network (GEN) to launch "GEN@ Bloomfields", the first hub for innovation and entrepreneurship in the Middle East and North Africa managed by GEN.
"We decided to have the GEN hub in the heart of the university campus. Through this hub we will have all GEN activities. It will be connected with all GEN networks around the world and will enable young entrepreneurs to present their ideas, get advice and secure financing, etc.," says. Dr. Shalaby.
As one of Egypt's most innovative and forward-thinking young companies, Tatweer Misr wants to instill the ethos of innovation and entrepreneurship at "GEN@ Bloomfields", at the university campus and across the whole of Bloomfields, in order to build a thriving ecosystem for creativity and start-ups. As Dr. Shalaby points out, the next generation of Egyptians will have to be job creators rather than job seekers and Tatweer Misr aims to support that landmark shift at Bloomfields.
Aside from their ambitious Bloomfields project, Tatweer has two other major developments targeting tourists, domestic and foreign second-home buyers and Egyptians on the higher-income scale.
Nestled in the mountains of Galala on the Red Sea coast, IL Monte Galala is Tatweer Misr's first project, whose design was inspired by the blend of architectural sophistication and natural beauty found in the mountains of Portofino, Italy. Named 'Best Project' at the Cityscape Global Awards in 2016, IL Monte Galala's 2.2 million square meters will offer residents and visitors a unique lifestyle proposition, boasting luxury housing, hotels, serviced apartments, retail and leisure, office spaces, and the world's first man-made Crystal Lagoon on a mountain, which will include three kilometres of white sandy beaches.
Tatweer Misr's second project, Fouka Bay on the North Coast, consists of double-decked twin houses and townhouses, standalone chalets, spacious cabins and bungalows – all of which are located facing the white sandy beachfront along the stunning Ras El Hekma coastline – and like its sister resort, includes a huge Crystal Lagoon making every home in the resort a waterfront home.
At both IL Monte Galala and Fouka Bay, Tatweer Misr has partnered with Kerten Hospitality to build a total of seven boutique hotels operated by the Cloud7 and House brands, which will also offer serviced apartments, villas and cabanas. The House Hotel Fouka will be the first of the seven to be launched in 2020.


Is your outdoor living area ready for Spring? In Sydney, as the days get longer and warmer, our outdoor spaces become our living areas.
Chances are, your outdoor living area needs a little TLC before you invite the neighbours in!
Winter can leave its mark in the form of mould and mildew. You may even have a collection of webs gracing your long-unused outdoor furniture. Give everything a wash with warm soapy water. For mouldy items, bleach and chemical removers are an option, although vinegar or lemon mixed with water is a safer non-toxic solution.
Decks, tiles, pavers – the flooring in your outdoor living area needs special attention. Polish any timber surfaces and use a bristled broom with soap solution to give your floors a new sheen. Then hit it with the hose.
Check table and chair legs, fence posts, palings, storage box hinges and anything else that might require a bit of a tune-up. Mend anything broken, loose or unscrewed and polish your timber pieces. You might even throw a coat of outdoor paint over some old pots, planter boxes or furniture to give them a new fresh look.
The Aussie sun, while glorious, can be intense. You want to make sure you have options for taking in the sunshine and blocking it out when needed. Overhead trees can provide a beautiful natural canopy, while louvered rooftops, pergolas and a good old fashioned umbrella give your outdoor area the best of both worlds.
Lights play a huge role in how we use our outdoor living space, after all, we're not always ready for bed when the sun goes down! Check your lighting is working and change bulbs that need replacing. Light up high-use areas above BBQs, dining tables and spaces where children play. Use decorative lanterns or lights to add drama and accentuate special features – a water fountain or decorative plant.
Dress up your outdoor space with coloured cushions, fabulous foliage, or some bold coloured statement furniture like these Matilda chairs. Play with colours that reflect the beauty of the season, and keep it light. Use white with aqua, lemon, tangerine and mint to say hello sunshine!
Now you can sit back, grab a drink and enjoy the sunshine!

Before we left for Honduras (stay tuned), I talked about the Love Does Project for the Ground Zero Youth Group. My assignment to the youth before leaving for Honduras was for each of the youth to "get started" on their dreams. Last night after worship, we had a check-point. To my delight, forward motion was made on most of the dreams. We also had a couple of youth that did not get to participate in the first meeting of the Love Does Project, so their assignment for this week is to spend some intimate time with the Father this week and ask Him to give them their own Love Does dream. One that is bigger than anything they can do on their own. A dream that requires us to step out in faith and God to show up in ways we can't imagine or perceive.
Christian Marathons to raise money for Charities: Red Cross chosen as a charity, researched the requirements for sponsors, emergency medical, and security personnel. Next steps: Contact Red Cross to work together on planning.
Juvenile Detention Center Ministry: Have correction office contact and will be work with them to understand the requirements and limitations of teens visiting teens in JDC.
Nursing Home Ministry: Select local nursing home and understand how youth can build relationships with the elderly in their care.
Military Ministry: Have Navy recruiter contact and will be working with him to understand how GZ can "adopt" several deployed military personnel to support via correspondence, prayer, care packages, etc.
Simms Park GZ worship: Working with the city council to secure permit and establish guidelines for meetings. Setting a date for later this month to kick-off first event.
Orphanage Ministry: Selected a children's home in Tampa. Will be contacting this week to see how we can build "big brother/sister" relationship.
Christian Rock Concerts for Charity: "Bullying Awareness" selected as the charity/cause. Next step is to write form letter to solicit local and national artists to participate and send to as many as possible.
One of the "new" dreams that one of our youth talked about was to create a local art gallery for young artists. This is in early "dream" stages. More to follow on a later update.
[11:1] Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.  For by it the people of old received their commendation.
Chapter 11 of Hebrews (often referred to as the "Hall of Faith") is filled with examples of those who stepped out in faith, believing beyond themselves in a God that is able to produce results that are beyond their own capabilities and even their understanding. A God that shows up in ways unimaginable that bring glory to Himself. This is the very same faith I see in the eyes of the GZ youth. Ready, not to accomplish things on their own, but to allow God to accomplish things bigger than themselves by doing love, in faith, knowing that God will accomplish His glorious purpose through their "mustard seed" contribution.
I eagerly await the next post in this series! I can't wait to share what God is doing to help us fulfill the great commission right here in our own neighborhood!
Next step: infecting the rest of the church with the "GO" vision the youth have caught.
Do you have a big dream God is calling you to allow Him to complete? Share your Love Does Project with us so we can pray for and encourage you in your faith walk!

This module's default exports override the core getpwent(), getpwuid(), and getpwnam() functions, replacing them with versions that return User::pwent objects. This object has methods that return the similarly named structure field name from the C's passwd structure from pwd.h, stripped of their leading ``pw_'' parts, namely name, passwd, uid, gid, change, age, quota, comment, class, gecos, dir, shell, and expire. The passwd, gecos, and shell fields are tainted when running in taint mode.
You may also import all the structure fields directly into your namespace as regular variables using the :FIELDS import tag. (Note that this still overrides your core functions.) Access these fields as variables named with a preceding pw_ in front their method names. Thus, $passwd_obj->shell corresponds to $pw_shell if you import the fields.
The getpw() function is a simple front-end that forwards a numeric argument to getpwuid() and the rest to getpwnam().
To access this functionality without the core overrides, pass the use an empty import list, and then access function functions with their full qualified names. The built-ins are always still available via the CORE:: pseudo-package.
Perl believes that no machine ever has more than one of change, age, or quota implemented, nor more than one of either comment or class. Some machines do not support expire, gecos, or allegedly, passwd. You may call these methods no matter what machine you're on, but they return undef if unimplemented.
You may ask whether one of these was implemented on the system Perl was built on by asking the importable pw_has function about them. This function returns true if all parameters are supported fields on the build platform, false if one or more were not, and raises an exception if you asked about a field that Perl never knows how to provide. Parameters may be in a space-separated string, or as separate arguments. If you pass no parameters, the function returns the list of struct pwd fields supported by your build platform's C library, as a list in list context, or a space-separated string in scalar context. Note that just because your C library had a field doesn't necessarily mean that it's fully implemented on that system.
Interpretation of the gecos field varies between systems, but traditionally holds 4 comma-separated fields containing the user's full name, office location, work phone number, and home phone number. An & in the gecos field should be replaced by the user's properly capitalized login name. The shell field, if blank, must be assumed to be /bin/sh. Perl does not do this for you. The passwd is one-way hashed garble, not clear text, and may not be unhashed save by brute-force guessing. Secure systems use more a more secure hashing than DES. On systems supporting shadow password systems, Perl automatically returns the shadow password entry when called by a suitably empowered user, even if your underlying vendor-provided C library was too short-sighted to realize it should do this.
See passwd(5) and getpwent(3) for details.
Reworked internals to support better interface to dodgey fields than normal Perl function provides. Added pw_has() field. Improved documentation.

Home Latest News Parking Services issued more than 14,000 citations 2014-15
Parking Services issued more than 14,000 citations 2014-15
Amelia Lucas
Tina Chang '16 was in a rush to get to Earl Gregg Swem Library to meet for a group project when she parked in a faculty parking spot and received a ticket from the College of William and Mary's Parking Services in October 2015. This ticket was among 14,313 citations issued on campus by Parking Services in the past two years.
Out of those 14,313 citations, 3,328 citations were related to reserved space violations and 23 percent of all citations remain unpaid. According to Parking Services data, the majority of reserved space violations were issued for cars parked in the Morton Hall, Zable Stadium and Yates Hall parking lots.
Reserved space violations, meaning that the individual parked outside of their assigned decal type, had the highest incidence rate. Parking Services reported 2,170 first-time offenses, 698 second-time offenses and 460 offenses that were the individual's third or more offense. Out of the first-time offense fines, 12 percent remain unpaid, while eight percent of second or third offenses remain unpaid.
"People are purposefully parking out of their scheme, and I think that they're aware that they're doing that," Horacio said. "They really don't have an issue paying that citation."
According to William and Mary Police Department Patrol Lieutenant Israel Palencia, WMPD would intervene if any illegally parked cars caused safety concerns but was not aware of any instances in the past two years where such an incident prevented WMPD from doing its work.
According to Director of Parking and Transportation Services Bill Horacio, fines for reserved space violations increase after the first offense and are normally paid at a faster rate.
Additionally, Parking Services takes photographs of reserved space violations to present as evidence to individuals who want to appeal their ticket.
For unpaid tickets, the College places an administrative hold on the student's account, which can prevent them from registering for classes and receiving their diploma. Chang, a first-time offender, paid Parking Services a week after she received the citation.
"I heard that if I had holds that would keep me from graduating, so the $10 was not worth it," Chang said.
Horacio noted that there a few different methods that Parking Services uses to ensure that fines are paid, but he said the administrative hold method is the most effective. After 30 days and two reminders are issued, Parking Services places a hold on the student's account for the fine's amount. Eventually, if the fine still remains unpaid, it will go to collections through the College of William and Mary's Bursar's office and a third-party contractor. If the individual continues to accumulate fines and the value of that debt reaches $350, a wheel lock will be placed on the vehicle. The wheel lock will only be removed after at least 50 percent of the debt is paid.
Special events citations had the second-highest incident rate with 915 citations issued total. The most common special events were for football and basketball games. Parking Services towed a total of 508 vehicles, which is considered a Level III citation with a $60 fine. However, certain vehicle models require the car to be unlocked before it can be towed, which means that Parking Services must use a towing service that is locksmith certified. For that extra cost, $25 is added to the ticket.
"I don't think they should enforce parking rules at night because some people don't feel comfortable walking around campus at night," Patolia said. "I don't think they're very sensitive to that."
Expired meter violations made up the third-highest citation incidence with 698 first-time offenses, 128 second-time offenses and 58 third-time offenses.
Of the total number of citations, 36 percent were warnings without any fines. Warnings for no decals were the highest category of citations with 3,828 issued. The majority of those warnings were issued in the Zable Stadium and William and Mary Hall parking lots and on Landrum Drive.
Only following a warning for no decal can individuals receive a citation for not having a decal or temporary pass. Over the last two years, 1,505 of those citations were issued. Those citations carry a $181 fine. Out of those, 29 percent remain unpaid. For every category of violations, this is the highest percentage of outstanding fines.
Soni Patolia '17 received a warning for parking without a decal in the summer and then a ticket in October, after parking in the Earl Gregg Swem parking lot for 15 minutes during a rainstorm. Patolia said she will not pay her fine.
Palencia said in cases where a complaint about illegal parking comes in directly to dispatch and Parking Services is unavailable, either due to late nights or the weekend, WMPD will issue tickets.
The second-most frequent type of warning issued was to individuals with improperly displayed decals, with 1,029 warnings issued over the course of the time period.
According to Horacio, individuals usually receive warnings for improperly displayed decals when they forget to place the decal on their car after purchasing it.
"That transaction is not complete until you either put the hangtag on the rearview mirror or remove the previous decal and put the one that you just purchased it its proper place," Horacio said.
Additionally, Horacio said no changes to the values of the fines will be made until the Parking Advisory Committee meets to review this year's data. According to him, fines have not been increased for the last couple of years.
"Tickets are written for one specific purpose and that is to change behavior," Horacio said. "Just changing the dollar found on that amount doesn't really change the behavior."
Palencia said issuing tickets remains necessary to ensure that the limited parking spaces are used in the most efficient manner possible.
"On campus parking is a challenge," Palencia said in an email. "The parking regulations laid out by Parking & Transportation provide the guidelines necessary to maximize the efficient and safe use of the parking space we do have."

DealPoint is a key part of Rabobank's strategic investment in its re-envisioned customer end-to-end journey. As such, DealPoint integrates into the bank's ecosystem – including Customer Relationship Management, Client, Booking, Enterprise Service Bus, and Credit Approval systems. With the newly streamlined process, Rabobank creates a seamless experience for bankers that provides more flexibility and adds real-time data analysis and insight to their wholesale lending commercial engagement process.
"We are pleased to work with Brilliance, who is quite adaptive and creative in tailoring DealPoint for Rabobank.

"DealPoint streamlines our commercial processes, which is extremely important for us so we can service our clients better and faster. Working with a partner like Brilliance who really knows what they're talking about and are really specialized in digital pricing is crucial to our transformation program's success."
"Our work with Rabobank is reflective of our mission to help global banks modernize their pricing transformation journeys. DealPoint's seamless integration into Rabobank's wholesale bank ecosystem provides them with a more holistic view of performance and profitability," said Jean-Edouard van Praet, President and CEO of Brilliance Financial Technology. "Now, Rabobank is able to gain real-time insights into their customers, as well as conduct business anytime, anywhere. An integrated process is critical for future success and Rabobank is leading the way in the competitive landscape," he added.
Rabobank is exploring additional ways to leverage DealPoint's capabilities across its other divisions, products and regions.
This latest version of DealPoint adds key enhancements to the platform to drive performance in today's market landscape:

The Lagos State government has announced commencement of computerized vehicle inspection service to determine the road-worthiness of vehicles in the state.
The new inspection service will enable road users to know the status of their vehicles by going through series of tests.
Managing Director of the Lagos State Computerized Vehicle Inspection Service (LACVIS), Segun Obayendo, made this known to newsmen. He said: "We were unpopular when we started official operation in March 2017. We encountered quite a lot of cynicism and skepticism as people had issues copping with the change in the price for inspection or wondered whether their vehicle will fail or pass.
"The inspections are meant to save lives of the drivers and other road users from accidents occasioned by mechanical failure and not to punish drivers or impound vehicles as some people fear. LACVIS computerized inspection process in minutes will help to detect mechanical faults before they become disaster on the highways.
"Our computerized inspection programme ensures that vehicle owners are pro-actively contributing to a cleaner and healthier environment with an emission test as vehicle emissions continue to be a major source of urban air pollution.
In his remarks, General Manager, LACVIS, Segun Ogunnaike, said "in the next three years, there will be at least 57 computerized inspection centers across the state.


The Israeli Government's decision not to renew the mandate of the Temporary International Presence in Hebron (TIPH), which has played an important role in preventing violence between Palestinians and Israeli settlers in Hebron., risks further deteriorating the already fragile situation on the ground.
In line with the statement issued by the contributing countries to the mission, the EU stresses Israel's obligations under international law to protect the Palestinian people in Hebron, as well as in other parts of the occupied Palestinian territory.
As reflected in successive Foreign Affairs Council conclusions, the EU is strongly opposed to Israel's settlement policy which is illegal under international law and an obstacle to peace. The European Union will continue to engage with both parties and with its international and regional partners to support a resumption of a meaningful process towards a negotiated two-state solution, the only realistic and viable way to fulfil the legitimate aspirations of both parties.

I take my fifteen minutes of naked sun in the patio, hidden by tall fences. The cats play tag in shady spots beneath my chair. Jasmine scatters scent like feather boas. A breeze winds through the red maples who hold their breath as if to conserve water against the heat. Where silence reigns, the throb of a Latin beat percolates the air. In the cadence of voices, a choir of workers at their lunch, the bubbling of a creek. I smell the sweat of warm tortillas, picture the careful unveiling of dish-toweled bundles, steam rising like hope for one more weekend with the family, a Friday round of Coronas, children splayed around the table for what might be their last supper together. On TV, a madman talks of barricading the border, building a wall. Maybe they're afraid; perhaps they think it's just a joke. For this moment, they have each other, corn tamales, and this day of good work, yellow sun, decent pay.

The Down East Humor of "Bert and I"
"Stories are the core of all art, and all art is basically stories. You can probably tell everything about a culture from its stories. They're a perfect window into its soul." – Marshall Dodge, Maine Sunday Telegram (1981)
"Bert and I come down to the dock about six o'clock in the early morning. Bert went into the boathouse to fetch the pots and the slickers and I went out to the dock to start up the Bluebird." If you're from Maine, there's a good chance you've hear this one before. It is the beginning of one of the several Bert and I skits, a collection of stories set in the coastal communities of "Down East" Maine that evolved into a cultural phenomenon, emblematic of the subtle charms of its lifestyle.
It all started at Yale University in the late 1950s, when two students Marshall Dodge and Robert Bryan started performing these bits around campus. Encouraged by the response, the two amateur storytellers recorded a short 10-inch album of 11 stories as a Christmas present for friends and family. These albums immediately resonated with people – they had found a way to articulate the inexplicable Down East charm. As the popularity of these this first release grew, they decided in 1958 to record and release the seminal commercial album of New England humor and storytelling – Bert and I ... And Other Stories from Down East.
"Bert and I" were two fishermen aboard the ill-fated Bluebird, a small boat out of Kennebunkport, which sinks after being sliced in two in the fog by the steamer Bangor Packet. As the first cut on the first album, the tale set the tone for what would come.
Though neither was from Maine, Dodge and Bryan were familiar with the state and its people and had a keen ear for dialect, along with a knack for low-tech sound effects. Their first recording, made in their Yale dorm room, featured a wastebasket as an echo chamber.
"Spiritually, my home from as early as I can remember has been Maine," Bryan told Yankee Magazine in 1976. "Though I loved Oyster Bay, New York, I could not wait to get away to Tunk Lake, Maine, in the summer. We'd go right to Simon Bunker's house because he had the key to our camp. He would detain us with a story and then another. We would spend half the night listening. These storytellers were very important to me. Though I knew their stories, I wanted to hear them again and again. During the winter, I would retell the stories to friends."
Their seminal album has now sold over one million copies and has inspired many great storytellers both in-state and beyond, including the likes of Garrison Keillor of Lake Wobegon fame. More than that, it has preserved this unique and charming slice of Down East lifestyle with stories that can be shared with generations to come.
