This year has started as a busy one and looks as though it will continue that way. We will be delivering the first year of the second year of the programme - which is exciting. There are four new lecturers involved and I am sure the students will benefit from the greater input.
Along with EDC we have been hosting some blogging classes. Good opportunity to offer some training and help continue to build on our skill base. Those of us involved have started our own personal blogs in an effort to practise all of the things we would like to replicate on the course blogs. So let me update you:
Each our our six specialties on the programme will run with a blog - this is a way for us to keep students relevant with the latest happenings in tourism, communicate with students and link activities from the course blogs to wiki educator. Students will also be given the opportunity to post comments on the blog - we will be trialing this with second year students.
Take a look at Rachel's blog . We have also been looking at bloglines.
The best news however has been the acceptance of my proposal to present a paper to the Fifth Pan Commonwealth Forum on Open Learning in London, July 13-17. Working on getting the funds together for this??? The paper will be on "Open Education and Training in the Travel and Tourism Industry" have a look at the wiki if you want to read the full proposal.
