e-learning reports - introduction

Hello, and welcome to e-learning reports.

This blog has been set up by staff at UCL to illustrate, entirely unofficially, how the development of e-learning tools works in practice. We don't have any particular message, system or theory to impart. We are not experts by any means, nor are we e-learning strategists. This will be a record of our observations "doing" teaching through electronic media. Education practices are continually changing, now more than ever. Taking part in this blog is one easy way of keeping in touch.

Use the site feed for an easy way of keeping abreast of new articles. Paste this feed URL into your feedreader (Help! What does that mean?) : http://elearningreports.blogspot.com/atom.xml

The team members will be reporting on their experiences of creating courseware, adapting existing materials, and incorporating electronic tools in their teaching practices. Some of the team members may be learners, and we'll see reports on their perspective, too. The reports you'll see will be fresh from the field, reflecting the reality of teaching practice.

We'll also recommend websites, blogs and other resources that will allow you connect with other interesting e-learning topics and practitioners.

Along the way, we'll learn about what works (and a little bit about why), reveal common frustrations and difficulties -- and their solutions -- and hopefully inspire others to get involved too.

Comments from you will always be welcome; in fact, they are expected of you!
