With apologies if this is not relevant to you.
Training in most areas is today hardly discussed without mention of e-
learning. If you feel you would like to explore it in more depth, then you may
be interested in taking a short training course which gives you at the same
time the vital experience of being an e-learner yourself. It is not only for
teachers or trainers, but also attracts librarians, technical staff, managers and
administrators who seek to extend their professional area.
The course is Online Education & Training, which is run online. You'll find it a
forum for rich structured collaborative learning. It argues for e-learning in
terms of a simple pedagogy framework that incorporates many styles of
learning, e.g. resource-based, problem-based, discovery-based in addition to
traditional and blended learning approaches.
It covers general issues of teaching online including social networking,
with regular practical tasks, and has a choice of optional topics on
using the internet to enhance internet teaching. These are expected to include
- online discourse and moderating
- computer-based assessment
- mobile technologies
- real-time teaching by phone, text, video-conferencing, or SecondLife
- blogging and podcasting
The next start is 9th March 2009. We suggest you register as soon as
possible.
The course carries 30 UK credits towards either a masters or a diploma and
can be taken by 10 weeks distance study online.
The fee is £Stg 654, which can be paid by bank transfer, credit card or
instalments. More information about the course is at the
