A colleague has asked if I would forward the following information
about a MEd degree recruiting now for September 1998.
LEARNING AND TEACHING VIA THE INTERNET AN ACTION RESEARCH,
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT MASTERS COURSE
If you or your colleagues are interested in learning about the educational
use of the Internet and Information and Communication Technologies, you
might want to find out about a highly successful innovatory Master in
Education degree programme in NETWORKED COLLABORATIVE LEARNING which is
being offered by the Centre for the Study of Networked Learning, University
of Sheffield, UK.
The two year professional development course is aimed at anyone in the
School, FE, HE, adult education sectors, and trainers and developers in
public and private sector organisations.
The course is part-time and is run largely via the Internet. It will
provide you with a comprehensive grounding in the use of networked learning
in your professional practice. The focus is on learning about the new
information and communication technologies; designing online
learning;developing learning communities, and learning how to work with
online groups of collaborative learners.
The processes of the course are largely collaborative with a wide choice of
focus-areas by participants. We try to foster a sense of sharing and
community on the course. For much of the time, you work in small, action
research online learning sets led by a tutor with a major focus on issues
and problems that you define of relevance to your professional practice and
development, which are investigated by you for your course assignments.
This helps to link theory with your practice in a reflective and critical
way. In Year Two, you carry out an action research dissertation project on
an issue relating to your professional practice. Assessment is
collaborative (self/peer/tutor).
