ocTEL webinar, week 3: Digital literacies by Helen Beetham I was sadly very proud that a quote from my blog post was included in Helen’s presentation! This social networking game is still new enough for me that I am allowed to be proud of such things so I hope you will excuse my vanity, dear […]

Posted on by Sue Barnes Posted in Blog posts, Course Reader

The four suggested online readiness questionnaires (as below) cover some common area which I have classified roughly as Computing readiness, Digital literacies, Study skills, Readiness for learning, Learning background and Learning Style.

Not minding my own business

Posted on by Sue Barnes Posted in Blog posts, Course Reader

I haven’t done a lot of my own blogging since my post ‘A blogging start’ as I have volunteered to be an ocTEL tutor this week and have become fascinated in finding out what others are up to in their blogs.
