Compulsory Blog Posts
December 18th, 2009 · No Comments · Networked learning, Tools & applications
I’m doing a whole lot of reading and research into the topic of classroom blogging at the moment, and have run into a recurring theme of compulsory student posting that I want to muse a bit about. The basic idea behind compulsory posting is that, rather than leaving topics or frequency of posting exclusively to [...]

What IS it that TELT supports?
September 3rd, 2009 · 1 Comment · Debates, Learning & teaching, Opinion

Yesterday afternoon I gave a short presentation on CCK08 to the UNSW Network of Faculty Educational Developers, focusing primarily on an overview of CCK’s distributed nature, the technical environments used during the 12-week course and the underpinning logic behind the distributed framework. Seeing as I had access to an iPod and microphone attachment I decided to record the first half of the presentation and share it here.
The talk was divided into two parts – roughly 20 minutes of which featured my presentation, and a following 10 minutes of open discussion. …

Where churn happens ….

Yesterday I attended the regular UNFED group meeting, which was established some time ago to facilitate discussion amongst a University Network of Faculty Educational Developers.
