WebCT Tutorial

Here is a 10 minute tutorial on how my workplace uses WebCT for online learning. You can also find it at http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1885674841872156869

It is mainly used for distance education and for repeating students however, this year there are a few staff that are using it a mainstream class. Next year it is proposed that all students will do at least one unit online but it yet to be decided what unit or how the students will be introduced to the use of our Learning Management System.




Have you used WebCT before? If so I would love to hear how you set it up and what tools you use.

How does WebCT differ from any other LMS you are familiar with? What are the main points of differentiation?

Do you have any suggestions on how my workplace could make better use of WebCT?

I am really interested in your comments and I am very happy to answer any questions you may have.

Keeping e-learning engaging

Below is a direct copy from "Learning technologies 2008" blog

"How do you keep elearning engaging?

Perhaps by concentrating on the learning, and not on the technology.

If you want something a bit more substantial than that trite comment, something that you could put to use, you could do worse than download a new 35-page e-booklet called Engaging Interactions for eLearning.

Written by B.J. Schone, a Kansas-based e-learning specialist, Engaging Interactions includes a lot of common sense in its ‘25 Ways to Keep Learners Awake and Intrigued’.
It’s well laid out, it pretty much applies to all learning, not
just e-learning and - best of all - it’s free."

I have had a look at the e-booklet and totally agree with the comments. What do you think?
