ULCC Moodle Blogger was busying away at a number of conferences over the last week - I'm afraid very little to report back on. However, one bright spot on what was a rather dull and uninteresting week was a discussion sparked by a presentation I gave at a recent LMN event. Chaired by John Stone, CEO of LSN, and held at the University of Westminster, it was entitled
E-Learning Strategies: Assessing the Challenges. I spoke about how RSC London saw the key issues, under the following headings:
- Developing e-Learning evenly across the organisation
- Maximising benefits of existing investment
- Integrated systems
- Staff development
- Quality Assuring e-Learning
As an experiment, I requested the assembled audience to SMS text my mobile phone what they considered to be their priority for achieving e-Maturity (Mobile Learning!?). For example, perhaps you have established e-Learning in all departments, but now need to focus on how to 'Quality Assure' what is going on, or identify how to integrate the VLE with your CIS and have fully interoperable e-ILP's, etc. Interestingly the results were evenly spread across 1-4, with most not feeling quite ready to take on the 'transformational' No. 5.
(ULCC Moodle Blogger requests that you fill out the Straw Poll so we can widen this example and tell me what you consider to be your next priority - opposite)
There was some interesting discussions that followed, with one in particular - how do we measure quality, or value for money, in our Moodle. I often hear of learning providers who boast of 300 plus courses, and hundred of thousands of registered users and, indeed, that is one way of measuring, but what about activity, or indeed, learning?
