ParticipantWelcome Jim,
Happy to have you join this group, it seems like an ideal fit for you based on your focus. I am sure it will be a win-win situation for all involved…can’t wait to get started.
ParticipantWelcome,
It can be very overwhelming had a similar experience when I participated in my first MOOC. Don’t try to do everything focus on one or two and it will become easier to manage (just).
Do have a look at the ‘Resources and more …’ in:

ElsewhereParticipantHi Bryony – welcome.
Take your time – that is what the first week is for. I hope the information in the ‘Induction: activities’ provides you with the necessary structure to get started.

ParticipantHello Roger and welcome.
Your big question cuts to the core of the matter, it is much easier to get digital literacies embeddded into a course when the academics involved see it as being of importance and a key skill set. For the majority of my working experience this has always been seen as a bolt-on to the main activity of teaching a subject, with the assumption that everybody has the skill sets so why devote valuable teaching time to it. As we are not involved in the development stages of a course module where these could be embedded it is finding the opportunity and ways to raise awareness of this and to get buy-in by both teaching and support staff.
ParticipantWelcome Jilly.
I too am very interested in how TEL can further enhance practice and best be used to deliver both F2F sessions as well as provide a pathway to support and advice for independent users.
