Dear Colleague
As part of their regional workshop programme, Netskills will be delivering the following workshops at the West of Scotland Science Park, Glasgow in January:
1. Web Quests, Treasure Hunts, Hotlists & Subject Samplers, 29th January
-----------------------------------------------------
Fed up with passive, page turning e-learning? Engage your learners in active, dynamic, enquiry based e-learning by developing realistic problem solving activities that encourage the application of analytical, creative and critical thinking skills.
2. Mobile Learning: Education on Demand, 30th January
-----------------------------------------------------
M-Learning can free learners from the classroom and enable them to study wherever and whenever they choose. Organisations can adapt academic and administrative functions to suit the demands of their new audience: the mobile learner, already comfortable with smart phones, hand-held media devices and Personal Digital Assistants. However, what issues arise from such technologies? How suitable are they pedagogically and practically?
This workshop explores the principles and practice of m-Learning. It is for anyone who is interested in using mobile devices in education, or whose organisations already are, or those who simply wish to know more about the emerging technologies.
3. Assessment Solutions for e-Learning, 31st January
-----------------------------------------------------
Assessment, when used well, has long been recognised as a key element of developing effective learning. The rise in recent years of online assessment has brought a range of assessment tools and techniques into general use. While they provide an important framework to facilitate the delivery of online assessment, questions remain regarding the effective design and development of pedagogically fit online assessment.
