Roger, I have been involved in an interesting development in a flexible (ie CMC) delivery context: setting tasks that constitute a 'hurdle' in assessment - ie task needs to be done, and evidence is posted to the course website, but is not given a score to add to the total assessment. Within such tasks, directed to demonstrating basic engagement with the steps of the process, exercises can be designed that require evidence of exposure to/engagement with the material at the site/s referenced.

Subject: Re: What research mentoring support do teachers find most useful?
an interesting question.
I work mainly with teachers on Masters courses and fins that they make little use of those sites, though I provide links to them on our university Managed Learning Environment.
Of course, using these sites in sessions is a key way to encourage teachers to access these sites - are there other successful strategies?

Do you find that teachers make use of the ready-made 'academic' research
summaries that they can access on line from for example the General Teaching
Council and CUREE (Centre for the Use of Research and Evidence in Education)?
