Hi everybody,
Firstly i apologise for coming in picture after 1 week.Took a while to get sorted.
I work as a Computing Faciliator for FreeB community learning department of Manukau Inst of Technology.We offer self paced ,facilitator led free courses in Office 2007.
There is never a dull moment, there is always teaching and learning.Love this experience of interchange and would like to know how to achieve teaching and learning in a e-learning environment.
Heres to my second blog,yay.
Cheers
Meena

  2. Hi Sarah
    Key point would be to make tasks simple for learners, by making it transparent.Encourage participation,be patient and set clear learning outcomes.

  5. Hi sarah,
    Guess not the facilitators, but would be a good idea to define the course outcomes,and set course schedule, so learners know how they are meant to go about.Making sense....
    Just the way it is in our course wiki
