Dear Colleague
As part of their regional workshop programme, Netskills will be delivering the following workshops at the University of the West of England in March:
1. Web Quests, Treasure Hunts, Hotlists & Subject Samplers, 26th March

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.
Topics covered during this workshop include:

Web quests, hot lists, treasure hunts and subject samplers defined
Action planning and Scenario building for enquiry based e-learning
Resource gathering to underpin learning
Tools for rapid development of online enquiry based e-learning
2. Mobile Learning: Education on Demand, 27th March
-----------------------------------------------------
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.
Topics covered during this workshop include
Issues, uses and implications of m-Learning for learners, practitioners and institutions
Overview of devices and technologies
Examination of m-Learning case studies
Mobile content and communication
Current and future trends in mobile device usage
