The edublog about e-Learning and Distance Education

Focus of inquiry – e-learning & the distance learner

Distance education · E-Learning Experiences




I am employed by OTEN (Open Training Education Network) which is the distance education provider for TAFE NSW. While we currently use a wide range of e-learning practices, I am very keen to explore further e-learning opportunities in order to provide learners with the best outcomes. Currently my section (Community Services) is using the following e-learning:
* Communication with students via email

* Submission of student assignments by email

* Posting announcements, current resources and links on the OTEN Learning Support (OLS) website for students to access

* Learning material on CD-rom

* Piloted a module on-line through Janison

* Piloted a web-conference with TVET students

I can see much greater applications for e-learning, which many of our learners would benefit from given the diversity of backgrounds including: rural and remote locations, caring responsibilities, work commitments, disability, detention, transportation difficulties, need for self-paced learning and preferred learning styles.

    Hi Beth

    Like your blog, perhaps you may be interested in a project out community services section is involved in http://community-services.blogspot.com

    They will be involved in a TAFE online project exploring the use of PDAs web conferencing and IPODs in the classroom. Email me at stevenraymondparker@gmail.com if you are interested in being involved.

    Warm regards
