First few weeks

My new module has finally started and things have taken some time to get going. Students are used to learning inside a relatively closed and safe VLE (a University proprietory system). Using a rnage of social software tools such as blogs and wikis will be a shock, I think. However today was a start. Three of my four students have taken the plunge and started their own blogs. I look forward to see how these will develop over the coming months

Using a new range of social online tools has not been a shock, more like moving into a room with no lighting.

The room becomes lit with feedback - once that is achieved, the experience becomes manageable.
