Getting my blog sorted + This weeks aims

It has taken me a while to get my blog sorted. We have various blogs on wordpress account shared by myself and my husband and the usernames, passwords and email addresses have sent me round in circles. The up shot is that I am now using a different blog from yesterday with a slightly different name. Thanks to all of you who had liked my post yesterday on the old blog.

Enough faffing around – I am ready to go.

Adding the weeks aims here so I can look back and comment on whether they have been met:

This week’s aims

This course lets you define your own aims and follow your own paths, but we set out core learning outcomes for every week. By the end of this week, you should aim to

  • have a sense of different Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL) contexts and some of their strengths and weaknesses
  • understand the range of prior experiences and expectations of the course participants, including those from different cultures, and the implications of these for this form of TEL
  • achieve basic confidence in navigating, discussing and otherwise participating in the ocTEL course.

I am a learning technology advisor at the University of Strathclyde where i deal with day to day support issues for the use of our Moodle based VLE as well as advising more widely on online learning in general.
