Where am I?

So I packed the cards out on the table last week, started to do the writing up of all my ideas and plans. I mentioned on someone's blog that I kept on asking myself (reflecting) what will be different from doing the traditional way of facilitating only and introducing an e-learning component to the old fashioned way. Yes, the literature is clear about "why", e.g. enhancement and opportunity to develop students' reasoning-, critical thinking-, debating-, reflecting-, participating abilities, also that the facilitator can be in almost constant contact with the students and it provides for the "silent" students who would rather see the face of the computer than the face of the faclitator on a daily basis (especially our generations X and Y - the faces of their cellphones and computers are often their best friends and they prefer this way of communication, often they cannot live without that face). Many more reasons, but this is where I am now, constantly evaluating, still formalizing the developing, but should be ready with an implementation and evaluation plan next week. Good luck to all.

Still desinging, but developing is crawling in...

I have my ideas more or less anlyzed and ready and now to start with developing. Have done the readings in the module, but not yet started to write up, which I think, I must now first catch up with, at least up to designing. Good luck for the week.

Analysis done - busy with designing

My analysis of the idea I have was done and it appears, from the survey feedbacks, as if I will be able to apply online learning, eventhough the one day training session is a very practical one. Some of the theoretical aspects can be integrated with the practical skills which will be learnt by means of online facilitation prior to and after the practical session. I also determined that video clips will be very effective to prepare the delegates for the training session.
