14. Barry Spencer Staff are allocated time to follow structured, managed and supportive development. Recommendation

15. Barry Spencer Investigate and develop the effective production, deployment, delivery and evaluation of course materials utilising the Moodle LMS combined with Learning Object content. By making use of Learning Objects the investment in developing and converting existing learning content for technology-based presentation can be reduced by an estimated 50-80 percent.

16. Barry Spencer Scorm is an acronym for Sharable Content Object Reference Model comprising a series of e-learning standards that specify ways to catalogue,launch and track reusable learning objects. Learning Objects Adaptable Affordable Assessable Accessible Discoverable Durable Interchangeable Interoperable Manageable Re-usable Reliable

21. Learning objects and assets reside in digital content repositories, where they can be catalogued and harvested by a metadata search engine. These repositories may be local or distributed.

22. Barry Spencer Rolling out Moodle

23. Barry Spencer Teachers move through stages as they adopt ICTs. Initially, the teacher adopting the technology applies it simply as a substitute for current teaching practice where technology is not used? 2003-4 UNESCO Asia-Pacific Regional Bureau for Education

24. Barry Spencer The introduction of the VLE to staff as a resource should be carried out using a phased approach, adopting the recommendations that resulted from a study carried out by Mason, which identified three models that I feel would be appropriate as phases. Mason, R. (1998) ‘Models of online courses’ Recommendation

25. Barry Spencer Gateway to online materials Communication between students, teachers and network contributors A shell for computer based learning resources Provide a platform for summative and formative assessment Foundation for student support Collaborative framework for student projects Delivery of integrated distance learning Interactivity and CollaborationComplexity Levels of use Document repository Chat rooms Forums Hyperlinks Quizzes Lessons Peer review tutorial Journals Workshops Scorm Phase 1 Content and support Phase 2 Wrap-around Phase 3 Integrated

26. Barry Spencer It is the demands of style in relation to the type of learning that needs to take place and not as is so often the perception, the acquisition of technical skills needed to generate specific content. Paraphrasing Mason, R. (1998) ‘Models of online courses’ Out of the toolbox

27. Barry Spencer Transformation of the educational process will start to emerge and may move toward more student-centred learning environments. 2003-4 UNESCO Asia-Pacific Regional Bureau for Education Course Design

28. Barry Spencer Investigate appropriate compatible e-learning educational models that will act as a framework. We know those things that we would like to achieve, the question is, how can a VLE be most successfully applied? Course Design Student-staff contact Student co-operation Encourage learning Provide feedback Task focus Motivation Diversity and innovation

29. Barry Spencer Course Design As part of change management, a framework will form the backbone for the overall production of an instructional design programme.

30. Barry Spencer collaborative learning Student-centred learning Discussion led learning Resource-based learning Course Design Accommodate proven learning styles

31. Barry Spencer Plan for sustainable course design. A VLE will allow you to deliver course materials to an increasing student base, introducing issues of scalability. Course Design

32. Barry Spencer To foster the transition toward new teaching practices, staff will need time for training, workshops and support in order realise the potential of a more student centred system of learning. Recommendation
