    Happy to move to Facebook or Moodle – either would be easier.

    I agree with previous comments. I too checked out the webinar after the live recording and was similarly unimpressed.

    We just need a simple method of communication that is quick and easy.

    Think I might fit the bill too. This is my first MOOC, don’t really know what I’m doing yet so feeling my way. I think my first experience with TEL was probably in CALL (Computer Assisted Language Learning) labs whilst doing my first degree. Don’t remember anything about computers whilst I was at school – I think they were about the size of a whole room back then!

    My background is in teaching Linguistics and English for Academic Purposes (EAP), but I’ve been in the professional development of teaching staff for about 6 years now (3 at Essex and nearly 3 at Royal Holloway, University of London (RHUL). I love working with Moodle and am largely responsible for the site we use to support teaching staff on our PG Cert programmes. I love mastering new skills and learning about anything that can help me in my role (and which are also useful in life).

    Since starting this course I have managed to put my first blog together – it’s not very interesting yet, but I hope to develop it further as I gain ideas from this course (hopefully).

    Well, hope I can join this group; seems like it could be fun.

    I *think* that there is no specific forum for this in the forums http://octel.alt.ac.uk/forums/forum/induction-week-0/ so you can try some of the other aggregation methods, such as using your blog and linking it into the reader http://octel.alt.ac.uk/category/reader/ within your profile.

    There is also the JISCMailing list most people have found if you don’t want to use your blog, or you could use twitter with the hashtag #octel

    Most other weeks will have a forum in this wordpress site to use I *think* (for comments etc.) but why don’t you try some of the other methods in Week 0 too so you know ou have made the best option going forward.

    Yes Stephen I have. If you hover over my blank image you can see the gravatar image. I don’t understand how it hasn’t worked?

    Hi Barbara,

    I’ve just put mine on ocTEL Jiscmail list . I think this is ok. Will take a look at yours once it’s up.

    We can put something very brief on Twitter – but that doesn’t appear to be the appropriate medium for this task. I’m thinking that it should be via the Jisc mailing list?
