Little did I know that this first toe-dip would literally change the course of my professional, and in many ways, my personal life. Just today I received an email from one of the people who took our workshop and he wrote “I still remember your course as one of the absolute best courses in my life. Thanks to social media we have everything from formal courses to networks on Twitter to facilitate “here and now” learning This afternoon I’m spending a half hour on a Skype video conversation to share a bit of how I use social media.

What are the drivers for using technology in your course design?
Quite a few years back the answer to this was quite straightforward from my position as the leader of a post-graduate distance learning progamme, which at the time we were running like a correspondence course supported by email communication. At that time the use of technology (notably the introduction of a VLE) significantly improved communication and ensured that all the information about the course was located in one place, which meant How do you use technology in your teaching? Why do you use particular

Did you blog or post to the moodle forums, or both, or neither during the CCK08 course?
It seemed to us that there must be very few courses that offer participants the choice of where they want to communicate, and that it would be interesting, if not important, to investigate the possible reasons behind the choices that were made.
We have launched our CCK08 survey today. We have spent a month working out the design for the survey.

One of them was Moodle, introduced on their own website as: ‘a course management system (CMS) - a free, open source software package designed using sound pedagogical principles, to help educators create effective online learning communities.’ So while I was looking for something else I heard about Moodle. In the meeting On the previous face to face meeting we had with the e-collaboration community, facilitated by Kontakt der Kontinenten, we had several e-tools to be explored. I was looking for an online environment which could be used in a learning process based on face

Our experiences with Moodle in a learning trajectory on Capacity Development In the past six months we (PSO) experimented with Moodle, an online learning- and working environment we used in an action learning trajectory on ‘The how and what of capacity development’. Moodle provides participants a place to meet each other, collaborate, give feedback, have a dialogue on common topics, and share experiences. And it seems worthwhile to share some of our first experiences with you in this blog. Mainly because we find it wasn’t very easy to integrate an online platform in the

Moodle Distance modules and e-courses are part of a repertoire of blended learning methods designed to let volunteers access information at their own pace, and to maximize the distribution of shared learning. VSO has selected Moodle as our online learning environment. Moodle was selected because it supports low bandwidth and has a lot of social and interactive By Leonie Meijerink, VSO It can be challenging for VSO (Voluntary Service Overseas) volunteers to access adequate learning support once they are in their placements.

What is Moodle? According to their website: "Moodle is a course management system (CMS) - a free, Open Source software package designed using sound pedagogical principles, to help educators create effective online learning communities. You can download and use it on any computer you have handy (including webhosts), yet it can scale from a single-teacher site to a 50,000-student University." The next interview took place at June 27, 2006 with Camillo Villa from HIVOS. Moodle “At HIVOS we use D-groups very intensively, as well as Skype. I also

I have been involved in country-based online training courses run by CIARIS/ILO in the area of Social Inclusion in Lusophone African countries over the last year or so. The issue of creating links between practitioners in different countries and also maintaining links between course participants after the course finishes (normally after 6 – 10 weeks) is one that has had me scratching my head more than once, I will confess. I would like to relate what we have attempted so far and invite comments or suggestions.

The second root to the technology supporting elearning is the traditional structures of teaching, particularly of the western world, with the notion of “course” and “classroom” guided by the hierarchy of the “school” and the “teacher.” Are the tools organised in a way that reflects the content, learner and course needs?
This is the 10th and last in a series of blog posts I wrote for Darren Sidnick about communities of practice in an elearning context late last year. I

think the CCK08 course suggests that there maybe is something new to add, because the course offered participants the choice of whether to blog or not and a range of alternative possibilities. This is very unlike the way in which many blogs are introduced to students on more traditional courses, where this choice of communication possibilities is not on offer.
8230;and Thanks to John and Matthias I am still thinking about if blogs might offer a distinctive type of conversation compared to other types of online communication and if so how are they distinctive?
