Ric+Lopresti



Hello. My name is Ric. I'm from English language services (ELS).

My mentoring involves the following:

Introducing Moodle to ELS Staff and helping individual lecturers in the use of Moodle with their classes Raising awareness of e-learning technologies available to ELS lecturers that a suitable for use with ESL students

May try to introduce the use of wikis for students of each class to update their progress - a tool for encouraging independent learning

I've run some sessions on Moodle. Lecturers at ELS are interested in using Moodle but feel they need time and support to navigate their way through.

I'm going to run a session on Wikis today (1/12/09). I'll introduce wikis as a tool to get students to document their independent learning - a major component of the Certificate in Spoken and Written English. Wikis can also be a good way for ESL students to practise language generally, as they allow for feedback and correction

It's now 2010

I've run a session on Moodle for ELS staff and will run a session on using Wikis in a few days - There has been interest in using moodle within ELS, but there's the feeling that it's limited to use with high level ESL students only.

Wikis and similar technologies may prove useful in engaging students in communication and writing
