This is serious Luke



My E learning Journey has started with the eye-opening Facilitate E learning course. Please feel free to read my summary portfolio attached.

Please meet my Mentees!!!!

Interviews done and projects decided. Photos taken and uploaded. Let the learning begin!!!

We start with some very light reading from an extract from Clint Smith (formally of [|eWorks in Victoria]) on what eLearning actually is and the various models available. Following this reading I have asked my mentees which model of eLearning do they think will work best for their project.

The next stage of our journey consisted of one-on-one demonstrations on what moodle can actually do. The mentee's were introduced to Forums, Chat Session and the ease of linking files and websites. The general responses of these simple demonstartions was 'Wow, I didn't know Moodle could do that and how easy it is to set up'. I was fortunate that two of my mentees were doing the Diploma of Sustainability where they had participated in many forums and had experienced first hand there educational benefit. It is here that I also introduced my mentees to my favourite eLearning phrase:

"DON'T SET AND FORGET"
We also discussed the importance of site balance. We don't want to be boring and just upload a tonne of text and inflict the SCROLL OF DEATH to our learners but if we go too interactive it can be tacky and unproductive.
