Ringmaster in a Three Ring Circus

My Elluminate mentor Jonathon Finkelstein coined this phrase recently and I’ve adopted it when describing what a moderator does in an Elluminate live session.
I will be presenting a hands on workshop for teachers in Victorian schools at the upcoming VITTA conference in Melbourne next week and I will demonstrate and share the tips and tricks [...]

Two down and two to go!

The CSTP course has exceeeded my expectations and I am having a great deal of fun in the mix. Jonathan has set us some ‘fun work’ to do between each live session. Focussing these tasks on something that we need to prepare for our projects and to ‘Elluminate’ it has been a really great idea. [...]

Ingredients in the blend!

Today we took another step forward in our elearning journey by gathering in Elluminate. This environment enabled us to explore how we may blend the use of a virtual classroom with our courseware delivery. The demand for more flexibility in learning in regional communities is really growing now as our client base becomes even more [...]

Eportfolios!
After some discussion with community [...]

Stepping into an elearning journey?

I am placing the emphasis on ‘journey’ in a new program I am designing that will enable the participants to plan for improved personal capacity in elearning and create their own elearning strategy. The program structure is based on an Appreciative Inquiry approach using the Four D model: discovery, dream, design, destiny.
A journey begins with [...]

Looking back …

Today I revisited my sadly neglected Blog and realised what a rich source of learning I was missing out on by not keeping it up to date. From today, let me rectify that….
Live Blogging is my latest learning in the elearning world and I’m experimenting with its use to cover live events (either live online [...]
