The time has come to actually commit my e-learning intervention 'to paper' and construct the ideas swimming around in my head. After much to-and-fro, backwards-and-forwards, I finally have it!
My e-learning growth timeline is not nearly as impressive as this Timeline of Social Media:
My e-learning growth timeline is not nearly as impressive as this Timeline of Social Media:
Week 1-2: If I develop a really cool website that simplifies the concepts involved in the Best Care...Always! campaign, then I will promote learning;
Week 3-4: If I move the website over to a wikispace site, everyone will want to get involved by editing the content, and this will promote learning through collaboration;
Week 4-5: If I adapt some current PowerPoint presentations to flash technology, I will promote learning;
Week 4-5: If I adapt some current PowerPoint presentations to flash technology, I will promote learning;
The FINAL week: If I create a discussion forum on the website following careful instructional design, there is a very good chance that I will create an e-learning intervention that really will promote unlimited learning.
What has been quite difficult for me is the pace of learning required - it has often felt like there is a whole world out there, but not enough time to explore it within the parameters of this module. I needed to be more focussed in my learning - but having said that, it has been a fantastic journey.
I guess one could have a whole programme around e-Learning (like the M in learning technologies at UCT) - that being said, the idea of this module is not to be comprehensive. If this month has opened up one or two new avenues of learning, I would be very happy. One does not have to stop at this module of course, it is easy to keep on exploring and learning and implementing new ideas.
