Hello to whoever is reading this. If you are an H800 student, you'll have a good idea what this blog is about but if not, you may like to read on.
H800 is an Open University (OU) course (part of the Masters in Online and Distance Education) entitled 'Technology Enhanced Learning: Practices and Debates'. I work for the OU, sometimes teaching but more often working with tutors, and getting involved formally and informally in the development of their teaching, and since the online and distance education is the OU's 'thing', I'm studying the course.
The course has a strong participative ethos and encourages us to try out as many online educational media as we can. Hence this blog!
I have blogged a bit before - again when little short of compelled (I mean 'encouraged' of course) to do so by an OU course. It was Beginners' Italian, so my posts were short and tedious. I'm afraid my posts here may be long and tedious, but I will try to avoid that. Some students and, especially, tutors wrote loads of useful stuff and provided fantastic links, holiday photos and everything - so I did enjoy reading other peoples'.
Mostly then, I'll be posting my thoughts on various things we do as part of H800, and, given time, some tips on useful things I've found.
It's a joy to receive comments, so do please browse through and let me know you're there.
