Janine’s blog

The latest Australian Flexible Learning framework online event kicked off today. Whilst the site requires login, a public facing e-Show nTell blog  is also happening. I believe a recording will be available and I look forward to that.

e-learning with an emphasis on learning - Ron Oliver

 I was unable to attend Ron Oliver’s opening keynote but the slides are available on the event blog together with some screenshots (1 and 2) of the audience interaction. I really like his 3 circles description of learning design - the intersection of

• learning tasks
• learning resources
• learning supports

Naturally each of these is a deep study in itself and he goes into exploration of each. 

I have been revisiting the e-learning design resource http://designing.flexiblelearning.net.au/ . I like the depth and richness of ideas. The section on learning design includes sample designs. These in turn use a generic format of providing a photo story (with audio) and a map of the learning design which I found most effective. I note that the last update appears to be August 2005 - it would be a pity if this resource were not kept up to date.
