Thinking of next year

When you recover from getting results in and realise that next year is not far away, ( frightening thought) , if you are thinking of adding E-Learning to any of your units here are a few ideas which can be added as links to Blackboard sections.

Wiki using PB Wiki 
Blog using WordPress ( www.wordpress.com) or Blogger (like this one)
Ning Page  a cross between Facebook and an LMS( Learning Management system) where you can add discussion groups videos and slide shows. (www.ning.com)
Google docs available to any registered user of google where you can share documents including spreedsheets and word.
Elluminate A real time virtual classroom which allows you to share desktops and applications on your computer with students and vice versa.
Moodle An alternative to Blackboard which is being evaluated next year. Apply to use with LEWS.
Photostory. Create videos from you photos with voice over.
Podcast. Voice Record you lectures
Tokbox. Send video emails (www.tokbox.com) Cameras can be borrowed from IPOL.

If you want to know how any of these can help you students or how to use these please don't hesitate to contact me on 9155  or d.wilmott@ballarat.edu.au


Thanks for all the support
