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
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."Labels: blended-learning, e-learning, Elvis Presley, good practice, HE, moodle, online learning, promotion, Royal Holloway University of London, wikis
