Yes, there IS a lot but it’s like a buffet, you don’t have to taste all the dishes let alone clear the table (….although it’s tempting); the quantity is there to allow everyone to have the selection they want/need.

It’s easy for those of us who work in certain fields and have the tools, reliable internet connection, etc etc to forget just how important this is. Without this, nothing ease will happen!

Fortunately, this course has anticipated that people have existing commitments and their own needs in term of what they want to do. So right from the start you are encouraged to decide what you want from the course and what you want to commit in terms of time for reading, posting etc

What motivates your academics? What challenges do they have? What problems are they trying to fix?

You mentioned the influence of their peers. Do you think their students could help?

Although students taking ownership of their learning can’t help but sound like a ‘good thing’, I wonder where the push for this coming from in your organisation: academics, senior team… the students themselves? And if not the students, how will this move be presented to them?

Perhaps the knowledge that they may not know how they are going to learn something but they can and they will is the most useful message: if reading a book doesn’t help maybe talking to you will, or watching a video… I…[Read more]

That’s an interesting point about Turnitin. I agree it has to be used where appropriate but why do you think it is generally not useful in FE (rather than just not for your courses)?
