one-hour consultancy meeting with academic tutors
I wonder would such a thing work? Rather than lead with moodle, which has become a very easy 'trap' to fall into, a more course-centred meeting might be good starting point, especially for those who feel they should have something online because their colleagues do, without pehaps considering pedagogical reasons for adopting an e- or blended-learning approach
topics could include:
- learning outcomes and how they might be facilitated with online elements
- tutor readiness for online learning
- student readiness for online learning
- identifying 'gaps' which could be filled with technology
- choosing the appropriate tools for the job
- additionally, an evaluation of the previous year's online elementLabels: blended-learning, consultancy, course design, e-learning, HE, moodle, online learning, Royal Holloway
toolbook
We are looking at Toolbook, an E-Learning content creation tool with which tutors can create interactive content such as simulations, assessments and I hope, branched-learning - without any sort of programming knowledge. Output can be as a flash file and it makes use of JavaScript. How easy is it to use? How powerful is it? These two questions are inter-related. Is it SCORM compliant? Will it report to Moodle? I will find out and report later.

moodle & turnitin
At Royal Holloway we are currently looking at the technological, pedagogical and administrative issues surrounding the long awaited development which allows the integration of two of our e-learning services: Moodle and Turnitin. I will be reporting our findings here in late spring, in advance of a summer implementation and the design and delivery of training/support for the academic and administrative communities.Labels: e-learning, electronic submission, integration, moodle, plagiarism detection, plagiarism prevention
