Are there any specialist skills that need to be learned? My first impression is that this really is a better method when it comes to giving complex explanations; ideas can be developed in real time, and lends themselves a more personalised response. Is it time/cost effective? How do students feel about audio feedback?

Apart from my work here at Bromley Colleg with Moodle and all that that involves, some time ago, I think it must be about 7 or 8 years now, I discovered 3DML and started to do some developing with buidling 3D worlds or Spots as they were called back then. Anyway I built a Spot, and trialed it with my students with really encouraging results.

I received an email recently describing a new content repository from the Worcester College of technology, its called MrCute and is intended to be an optional add-on to the Moodle Virtual Learning Environment. More specifically, it extends the functionality of the IMS Repository system originally developed by Alton College, UK.

After all lets face it, we are all in one way or another going to be learning here, and I feel this would seem a reasonable way forward for us all, so next step, use the vle to produce standard feedback, and there will be more on this in a later post.

One of the courses that see particularly heavy use of the vle here at Bromley is my BTEC National Software Development. Keen as I always am to make use of our vle for course delivery, I am also very keen to find evidence on its effectiveness with regard to student outcomes.

On the subject of all things e-learning, not just VLE’s. As part of my lecturing I teach Java to BTEC level 3 students and once we have arrived at the point where they can competently produce small GUI applications, I introduce them to Robocode, developed by Mathew Nelson, a software engineer at IBM.

Much of the theme for the event naturally centred on the subject of e-Books, which many appeared to agree, was the next natural stage in publication and distribution for learning materials. I wonder if we could learn something here from the music industries experience with i-Tunes.

I have been working on plans to encourage students to adopt the idea of virtual learning communities for the coming academic year. But to be realistic there has to be some sense of virtual value! I naturally intend being part of all this as you can see here.

Often freely available, Java Applets seem in the main to have been developed for science and mathematical type applications, have a look at this collection , though there are many others out there such as this representation of various sort algorithms , it's always good to find something that you hadn’t realised you’d lost.

This week finally saw the launch of the third phase of our Moodle vle roll out at the college with the delivery of a new 2 hour cpd staff training session Preparing for e-learning. My objective then remains very much unchanged, and that is to move learning beyond the physical boundaries and time constraints of the scheduled curriculum.

I will start with an apology for the broken links on the blog, the server that I am using here at the College has recently been moved and has since developed a problem with the fan, which eventually failed.
