Enrol Now!
Following on from the very successful May/June course, 23 Things for Educators and Trainers is being offered again.
Have you ever asked yourself this question? There are so many tools, websites and technologies ‘out there’ that it can be hard to tell which one(s) would work to engage your students…or solve your training problem…or make your job easier….or reach out to distant clients/students.
To enrol in the course click here and click on the ‘Create new account’ button on the bottom right hand side. You will then need to fill in your details. After that a confirmation and verification email will be sent to you. Click on the link provided and this will finalise you enrolment in our emania Moodle site. There is just one more step, to enrol in the particular course. The course is shown on the bottom of the left hand column of the front page you are at. More detailed instructions with screen grabs are available here.
What is the aim of this course?
The aim of this 6 week online course (plus the pre-week) is to introduce you to 23+ tools, resources and sites that will allow you to begin e-learning, simply and quickly….or get it moving faster….or help you improve what you are already doing. The focus of this course will be on the learning and training enabled by the tools – not the tools themselves, although you’ll certainly be playing with them! J
Other benefits
As an added benefit, this course is being run in Moodle, so you’ll experience being an online student using Moodle and gain valuable knowledge and understanding of how it feels to be an online student, as well as gaining skills in online facilitation and delivery. The will also be weekly sessions in Elluminate so you will also have a live online experience.
What is the time commitment?
There are THREE levels of coursework (OK … homework) and it is up to you to decide which level is right for you:
Level 1: This is basic but will offer some understanding & skills and will take you about 1-2 hours a week.
Level 2: This will broaden your skills and capabilities, and will take 2-5 hours depending on how much time you want to spend.
Extra: For those of you lucky enough to have more time, extra links, tools, documents and resources will stretch you further.
How much does it cost?
For Tasmanian VET practitioners this service is provided free of charge.
When does it start?
The first week (the getting set up week) begins on 20 September 2010. As soon as you register however, you can go to the Moodle site and start familiarising yourself with the space and doing the pre-course set up.
This course has been designed as a ‘blended course’. In other words, there is an opportunity to actually meet at least some of your facilitators and fellow ’students’ in a face to face situation. This will help you to become familiar with the course expectations, the online environments and to ask lots of questions. All the details will be sent to you via email.
The Hobart workshop will be held on Monday 20th September in the State Library Computer Lab, which is accessed from the car park. We have currently scheduled two sessions - from 9.30 - 11.30 am and from 2.30 - 4.30 pm.
The Launceston workshop will be held on Monday 27 September in the Launceston Library Computer Lab. It will run from 11 - 1 pm.

However…because it is understood that people may not be able to make it to a face-to-face session, a 1 hour ONLINE SESSION has been scheduled for 12:30 pm on Wednesday 22 September. Please note that the main purpose of this online session is as a ‘catch-up’ i.e. an introduction to the Moodle classroom, the course program and an opportunity to ask questions.
I encourage you to attend one of these sessions and it will make the rest of the course flow more smoothly and make that initial getting started hump much less bumpy.

Vanessa Tuckfield will be giving two workshops: one about being clever with copyright and making it work for you - a little knowledge before developing resources can make a major difference; and the other about copyright issues for managers at all levels of the organisation might encounter.
