For info: Managing Student Diversity using Electronic Resources Thursday 21 February An increasingly diverse student population - as well as increased student numbers - has created a dialogue around the constructive implementation of learning technologies by both tutors and students seeking an alternative to traditional teaching and learning methods. This event investigates the use of Virtual Learning Environments in Art Design and Communication and their potential role in delivering a genuinely inclusive higher education learning experience. The event will explore and explain key features of commonly used VLEs (using WebCT and Blackboard as examples). It will also consider how this technology can be applied effectively in an Art, Design and Communication context and how this would impact upon the institution. It will discuss the value of a multi-agency approach by identifying the needs of specific learner groups. The event will include discussions and presentations and will include a 'hands-on' element within it. Maximum number 30 For more information about the event and booking details, please see the forthcoming events section of the ADC-LTSN website - http://www.bton.ac.uk/adc-ltsn/events.htm or contact Peter Playdon - [log in to unmask] Geoff Minshull Direct Learn Training Online services to education, courseware development, project management, deafness/disability consultancy Web: http://www.directlearn.co.uk/ - last updated 18.11.01 Tel: +44 (0)1629 540386 Mob: 0771 264 7600 Fax: +44 (0)1629 540820 ***************** List information: ***************** Remember - replies go by default to the entire list.
