I'm writing partly to say how very valuable this field is for people concerned 
with pedagogy, as I am.  Assistive technology websites are full of useful 
ideas.  At the same time, I wonder if anyone  might wish to consider a little 
more deeply what Web 2.0 means for e-learning and/or real distance 
education.  If you do, then it you may also value an opportujnity to 
reflect while at the same time learning online.  This is what is offered by the 
long established University of London ONLINE EDUCATION & TRAINING course.

It deals with general issues of teaching online including social networking, 
podcasting knowledge management, personal publishing, video-conferencing,  
SecondLife, and more.  There are regular practical tasks shared collaboratively 
with others with a choice of optional topics. Assessment is by a practice 
oriented essay or project.

The next start is 26th April 2010.  We suggest you register as soon as possible.

The course carries 30 UK H level credits towards either a masters or a diploma 
and can be taken by 10 weeks distance study online.  There is also a 15 credit 
5 week M level option.

The fee is  £688 which can be paid by bank transfer, credit card or 
instalments. A cheaper auditor registration is also available if you do not need 
the credits.
