I found your point about MCQs in numerate disciplines interesting.  I entered HE (as an SL in Corp Strat) transitioning via a secondary PGCE (Bus Ed) for which I received APEL credits in part on the basis of some p/t FE lecturing I’d done for a couple of years preparing students for the exams of a finance p…[Read more]

I do want to stress that I do not see TEL or Technology Enhanced Learning and MOOCs – Massive Open Online Courses as one and the same thing. For me, MOOCs are a type of […]

Smile. I don’t get to actively continue (email) correspondence – so your two replies are something of a novelty, which, although surprising, I’m enjoying.

First, thanks for your reply. I hadn’t expected one. From anyone. I’m somewhat taken-a-back to have received one actually. Especially if you really meant it about mine being a very interesting post.

First, thanks for the reply. I hadn’t expected one. From anyone. Your response prompts several thoughts. I wasn’t aware I have ‘strong feelings about TEL’. (Which?) I get the impression you may have got the impression (R D Laing lives on!) that you may think I’m anti-TEL (?). If so I note this isn’t the case. Indeed, I’d say…[Read more]

[First time was as part of my rummaging around site ‘catching-up’ in Week 2 (or 1 as you’ve labelled it) having got off to ‘bad start’ – with confusion about enrolment, course start time, etc. – in Week 1 (or O as you’ve numbered it). Second time was after Allison (with two ‘ls)…[Read more]
