Among her many online roles, Marie is the communications consultant for the LearnScope Project, with specific responsibilities for the Virtual Learning Community(VLC).
She is particularly interested in catering for diversity in learning preferences. Marie is currently exploring the potential of using games and simulations as online learning strategies. She believes that online interactivity is a human technology!
The Event
Participants will have opportunities to explore the various ways in which users of online
learning materials actually use what is available.
Must the technology serve only as a means of delivering information? How can the Internet be used to help learners to construct their own knowledge? Is the Internet more about enhancing communication between learners, facilitators and other people?
Through a series of interactive games, in small groups, participants will address some of these key questions and be challenged to use the media to learners' best advantage.
Being a remote participant
People who register for the webcast version of this
event will participate in the workshop that Marie is facilitating using a combination of
technologies:
VECO Cafe chat room will be running to
allow interaction from the remote participants.
We expect that this event will work best with small group participation (4-5 people). Each group will need to have:
Support (online and/or telephone) will be provided in the time leading up to the event.
Why not invite a few colleagues to join you and make it a social occasion with lunch afterwards?
