May I use this list to let people know of a useful short course that may be
of interest. I know this is for Blackboard users, but you may nevertheless
be interested in something more general.
It is the certificate in Online Education & Training, from the Institute of
Education, University of London, run globally with regional groups so there
is international and local discussion. You'll find it a forum for rich
structured collaborative learning with UK and world-wide educators.
We focus very much on group collaborative learning, both in our method of
running the course and in the topics we discuss. There is also a special
option on online interaction, among a wide range for special interests.
Our "students" normally include teachers, academics and related staff that
may be part of e-learning design teams, e.g. technical specialists or
librarians. We use various multimedia materials and platforms to
consider different methods of teaching and syllabus design issues, closely
tied to educational needs. It gives a real insight into the needs of
e-learning provision from the student point of view, as well the
institutional.
It is a long established course that has now been restructured as two
choices:
either
the 10 week international online option from 30 January 2004,
or
the 4 week online course plus 5 separate days in London from 26 April 2004.
Content is the same, and both carry 20 credits that can be taken into
either an Advanced Diploma in Professional Studies or a Master's.All the
tutors have many years of experience as online tutors and trainers.
