eLearning Training

eLearning is learning supported or enhanced through the
application of Information Communications Technology (ICT)

The Workshop is planning training sessions to enable tutors to make constructive use of ICT across the curriculum. ICT means computers of course, but also includes mobile phones, iPods, mp3 players, interactive whiteboards, digital cameras, camcorders, and so on. Recent web developments such as blogs, podcasts and social networking resources will also be discussed.

One example could be the use of digital cameras or camcorders to record learners’ progression over a period producing artwork, signing, or other ‘difficult to record’ achievements.

Another example could involve learners passing around a cordless keyboard to compose a joint story or other narrative which would display on the interactive whiteboard. When everyone was happy with the outcome this could then be posted onto a blog or ‘social networking’ site such as mySpace or YouTube.

An essential component of effective eLearning is that the equipment is reliable and well-supported and that the tutor is confident in their use of it. To this end the Workshop is providing training on the following dates:

Wednesday 29th November 6:30 to 9:00 pm

Saturday 25^th November 10:30 am to 1:00 pm.

To book your place please ring Thelma, Jenny or Michael at the Workshop on (0117) 955 6971, or email michaelc@bartonhillsettlement.org.uk.

Settings and windows

I've set it to show titles for posts, as the default seemed to be not to.

Also, when you click on View Blog, you can't see Create new post any more. Don't worry, though, it's opened the blog in a new window, so you can go back to the old one. If you're using Firefox, it opens it in a new tab.

This is going to be fun, isn't it?

It's very easy (if a bit slow) to add pictures to the blog. (Just click on the little blue-sky icon and browse to your pic.)

"Ah well", as my Gran would have said on a chilly morning such as this, "winter draws (drawers) on".

We don't wish to know that, kindly leave the stage!

Welcome to our blog!

Hi folks,

Here's your chance to add your ideas, comments, ravings, musings, moodlings, rants, complaints, and so on. But keep it clean - or legal, decent and honest, if you like, or we'll have to appoint a moderator!

Bye for now,
Michael
