Live elearning

This year we have quite a variety of flavours of elearning in the Elearning Innovations projects from the Tasmanian Polytechnic. Thinking in terms of icecream we have:

Not-so-Rocky-Road: ePortfolios – focussing more on the journey than the end point, more about learning process than learning product.

Choc-Chip: Info Literacy – workplace scenarios are the bursts of flavour in this Learn 23 Things inspired project

Macadamia Dream: MeInTassie wiki – for newly arrived migrants learning English, a digital campus approach (to borrow from this document on Designing Elearning

Chocollo (Chocolate icecream for when you’re not really having icecream): eTag Learning for nursing students – a simulated workplace where learning is embedded into the objects, bringing Stephen Downes’ idea of a jam jar teaching you into reality (scroll down to the paragraph headed “embedding”

With Sprinkles & Toppings : Learners will film each other performing tasks, review the footage as part of the learning process. DIY learning resources for immediate consumption.

Toffee Swirl: not just plain vanilla, this online course (the only one flagged to use an LMS hence the vanilla base) combines asynschronous and synchronous learning opportunities, blended to perfection.

Why am I hungry?
