Hi all,

Anyone know if there is a way to display most recent posts first on this forum? If not, viewing most recent posts is soon going to require a lot of scrolling and clicking through pages (unless I’m doing something wrong)…

I’m happy to use Google + which I’m fairly new to but would like to experiment more with. Or a closed Facebook Group’s another option.

Hi!

I’d also like to join this group. My role is Blended Learning Facilitator at London Metropolitan University. I come from a teaching background and a key part of my role is to try to help staff use technology more effectively in their teaching and learning – my current focus is on digital literacies development although I also do a lot of resource and development work for our VLE (Blackboard 9.1). We’re currently developing an online resource for staff and aim to include a lot more about digital literacies in the future: http://www.celtelearning.org/

I think the OU dig lit framework is very useful, but I’ve been thinking about how it might be possible to start developing more discipline-specific frameworks. I’m also interested in the intersection between staff and student digital literacies.

Hope you don’t mind me joining your group! – I’m starting to work closely with library staff at my institution as the communication channels between us leave something to be desired, so I’ll  be really interested to hear some of your views and expertise.

Thanks,

Jim

Hi,

My job title is Blended Learning Facilitator (still working out exactly what it means… 🙂 I’ve worked at London Metropolitan University for the last 5 years, starting out teaching on their pre-sessional courses for International students (Academic English and study skills). I’m particularly interested in staff and student digital literacies, and doing what I can to help develop these. Recently I’ve been working a lot with Blackboard 9.1  (VLE/LMS/MLE – or whatever you want to call it) with which I have a love/hate relationship…

My big questions are on my blog here

I’m also doing the OU Open Education MOOC at the moment, maybe a bit ambitious.. but I’ll try to keep up with everything on here. Looking forward to the conversations!
