Subject: Elearning Mailing List/Discussion Board
Please pass this on to any members of staff using any elearning/online tools to support teaching & learning - not just Blackboard,
but a wiki, blog, podcast, website, discussion forum, etc.
During recent discussions with various colleagues, it has becomeapparent that there's currently no way for users of elearning tools
& technologies at Otago (whether that's Moodle, WebCrossing,podcasting, streaming, Blackboard, clickers, a website, or
something else!) to easily contact each other, share information &new ideas, or ask for guidance from peers. As a response to this,
I would like to gauge interest in setting up either an "eLearningDiscussion" email list or discussion board (the latter could easily
be done in a Blackboard paper).
If you would be interested in either of these options, could youplease let me know which one you prefer:
1. An email list;
or
2. A discussion forum in a Blackboard paper.
Either would be opt-in. If I receive enough interest, I'll set upwhichever option receives the most "votes".
Regards,
Annemaree
