[|Derek Chirnside] Something on Moodle maybe, on Course as Community (wanna-bee), Bounded vs //Free Range// learning, or on Staff development for Higher Education in an e-world.

This will present a slightly romantic view of using Moodle as a safe, peaceful home base for students who may be new to online learning. Learners not familiar with being online (or worse, having been put off for any number of reasons) often face issues to do with identity, insecurity, managing information flow, new tools and fear of making a mistake (etc). Providing a home base that is secure can help build confidence and security levels, able to move quickly more out into free range learning, and ultimately to reap long term benefits. We will start with a resource page: a short presentation, some links (learning commuity, user feedback, stories . . .) - and then move to an online forum in the wiki for three days. ||
