My Big Question – for #ocTEL

My big question seems to reassuringly the same as that of many other people…

How do we persuade ‘reluctant’ members of staff to enage with TEL – especially those with limited skills/confidence/time?

To me the increasing issue in my role in carge of eLearning support is becoming that of ‘standarisation’ and to a certain extent fairness?

Students are increasingly starting their courses with expectations of things that will make their life easier and more interesting – course materials on a VLe, the ability to submit work online, the use of more visual an interactive learning materials…

Should we ensure all students get a ‘minimum level’ of this, whatever the skills/interests of their tutors?

Has the time come for less ‘carrot’ and more ‘stick’?
