Dear Colleague
As part of their regional workshop programme, Netskills will be running the following workshops at Oxford University Computing Services in September, if you book before the end of August you will only pay £123 per workshop!
1. Mobile Learning: Education on Demand, 25th September
-----------------------------------------------------
M-Learning can free learners from the classroom and enable them to study wherever and whenever they choose. Organisations can adapt academic and administrative functions to suit the demands of their new audience: the mobile learner, already comfortable with smart phones, hand-held media devices and Personal Digital Assistants. However, what issues arise from such technologies? How suitable are they pedagogically and practically?
This workshop explores the principles and practice of m-Learning. It is for anyone who is interested in using mobile devices in education, or whose organisations already are, or those who simply wish to know more about the emerging technologies.
2. Developing Problem Based e-Learning, 26th September
-----------------------------------------------------
Fed up with passive, page turning e-learning? Engage your learners in active, dynamic, enquiry based e-learning by developing realistic problem solving activities that encourage the application of analytical, creative and critical thinking skills.
3. Effective e-Learning with Moodle, 27th September
-----------------------------------------------------
The Moodle learning environment is becoming increasingly popular in the UK education sector. It is free to use, having been developed through the Open Software model, and is designed using sound pedagogical principles. This workshop introduces Moodle, its main features and demonstrates why Moodle is different from other learning environments. You will be given access to your own installation of Moodle for 4 weeks after this workshop.
