ocTEL accreditation and mapping to CMALT

June 25, 2013

We appreciate that many people doing ocTEL want to get some credentials to evidence their learning. If we develop a revised ocTEL 2.0, then we aim to include some form of lightweight accreditation (Open Badges is favourite). In the meantime we’ve promised an electronic certificate of participation and ocTEL badge for use online.

ALT also administers the
CMALT accreditation scheme (Certified Member of the Association for Learning Technology), and we have mapped each week of ocTEL against the “core areas of work” in CMALT (thanks to Tom Franklin for doing this). The four main areas, elaborated in full in this Prospectus (PDF), are:

  1. Operational issues
  2. Teaching, learning and/or assessment processes
  3. The wider context
  4. Communication

If you’re interested in registering for CMALT, then this mapping should help you use the activities you’ve done on ocTEL as evidence of achievement in the relevant areas of work. A simple mapping follows, but for preparing your CMALT portfolio you may find the expanded version in this Google Doc more easy to use. Read more >>

I recently watched this presentation by Martin Hawksey, who is running the platform for the ocTEL MOOC (http://octel.alt.ac.uk/). It talks about how to run a cMOOC on Word Press (self-hosted site, not on wordpress.com. He talks about using Feed Word Press for blog aggregation, and also about another plugin that allows for discussion forums on Word Press: BBpress. So apparently it’s possible to have discussion forums on WP with this plugin.

He doesn’t get into tech specifics in this presentation, just general things about the tools they’re using for ocTEL. It’s really interesting for thinking of designing a cMOOC using Word Press, so if you have time, go ahead and listen to it. The presentation itself is around 30-40 minutes or so, then there’s questions after that that I didn’t find that useful for me, but you might.
