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 element

wikis in H.E.

I am currently promoting and gathering support in the use of wikis at RHUL. Part of this work involves researching their use, reporting on good practice and building or own hardcore of practitioners here. Link to Wiki Powerpoint Presentation.

I will be adding to this post over the next few months and welcome comments and advice.

Apparently, Elvis Presley in the movie Blue Hawaii semed to know about wikis even back in 1961, when he said "Wiki-wiki to the beach."
