alright!!
i did that authoring course years ago and really enjoyed it
found time to write a rudimentry e-learning course which never went anywhere and then changed jobs and lost any momentum i had
it occurs to me that momentum is REALLY important in this....before using a blended learning approach becomes a habit you've got to make yourself do it
after the LeTTOL course me and geoff went on, i stopped, became wrapped up in other things and now feel de-skilled........it's upto me to become "skilled" again, but i wonder whether that skill is as much about familiarity and, as i said, habit, rather than simply knowledge
thoughts??

ReplyDeleteI agree with your comments that all these skills we pick up really are use rthem or lose them.

ReplyDeleteLearning to Teach on-Line
(don't you love these twisted acronyms?)
An on-line course from Sheffield College
As for skills accquisition and loss.
Here's some academic stuff.
On a personal note.
I thought I'd learn how to weld.
Repetition proved useless because my welding machine was rubbish (it was a gift!).
This is a useful metaphor for all this on-line stuff.
B****r!
ReplyDeleteaccquisition=acquisition
(only one 'c')
I was going to say 'a reminder to compose in word and spell check'.
But why should I?
I'm used to good browsers that do it for me.
