I have now finished my learning contract assignment examining the differences between how science is taught online and traditionally. It can be found here, on a wiki. Overall I have found this project very interesting, eye-opening and educational. It is encouraging to see that there are a range of different and developing methods of teaching [...]

I felt it was appropriate to write a kind of goodbye post I suppose. I’m really going to miss this subject, everyone in it, and blogging for it. This is by far the most rewarding subject I’ve done in my masters thus far. I’ve learned the most from it and feel like I can walk [...]

Earlier today I was having a brief discussion with mollybob about twitter vs. facebook and it seems we both have facebook friends who are anti-twitter. She wrote an interesting blog post about it which made me decide I’d throw a few of my own thoughts down here. At first I was surprised that we both [...]

This was another thought I had in the Saturday class for a blog post when the discussion about learning to write online came up. I again wrote a note to blog about it so here it is. I can’t remember who raised the point but someone said that the older you get the more information [...]

I was thinking about UTS Online as a learning environment. This was brought up in the last block class and I made a note to write a blog entry about it when I got around to it. Kinda realising I’m never gonna “get around to it” what with everything ever being due at the moment [...]

Well, we’re about done with our wiki and what a relief to have another assignment off my plate. That said, it’s been amazing and really positive experience and an absolute pleasure to work with everyone in the edutweet team. I’m kinda sad that we’re not going be speaking every day any more but that said [...]

Having incorporated Today’s Meet as extensively as edutweet have into the group assignment, both as a means of communication for within our group and also as a back channel in last Saturday’s presentation, I started thinking about how it might be able to be used in other avenues of my life. Incidentally some friends and [...]

It’s one week to go before our wiki assignment is due and I’m quite surprised at the change in the feel of the group and the group dynamic over the last two weeks. From beginning the project completely freaked out about being adopted as the leader I no longer feel that I (or any other [...]

I’ve been thinking for the last couple of weeks ‘man, I really want to write about x’ or ‘oooh, I should blog about y’. Problem is the things I feel like blogging about are nothing to do with e-learning or even the least bit related to anything that could be related to e-learning so I [...]

I found this article interesting because it followed the same path that we took to establish our NING community and also suggets use of the same technologies. We started with the shared domain of interest as suggested by the authors, we use social bookmarking and we use NING as a place to share and collaborate. [...]
