May I use this list to let people know of a useful short course that may be
of interest.
It is the certificate in Online Education & Training, from the Institute of
Education, University of London, run globally with regional groups so there
is international and local discussion. You'll find it a forum for rich
structured collaborative learning with UK and world-wide educators.
We focus very much on group collaborative learning, both in our method of
running the course and in the topics we discuss. There is also a special
option on online interaction.
Our "students" normally include teachers, academics and related staff who
form part of e-learning design teams, e.g. technical specialists or
librarians. We use a range of multimedia materials and various platforms to
consider different methods of teaching and syllabus design issues, closely
tied to workplace needs. It gives a real insight into the needs of
e-learning provision from the student point of view, as well the
institutional.
It is a long established course that has now been restructured as two
choices:
either the 10 week international online option from 30 January 2004, or the
4 week online course plus 5 separate days in London from 26 April 2004.
Content is the same, and both carry 20 credits that can be taken into
either an Advanced Diploma in Professional Studies or a Master's.All the
tutors have many years of experience as online tutors and trainers.
