Outline finally done…
Well I have been putting off the inevitable, – yes that is starting the assignment for my Masters second module. Having first produced a Mindmap of topics I might need to cover, and then converting that into an outline. Heres a link to the Mindmap – be warned its a large file!
So I have approximately a month left to complete the assignment and finally finish the testing of the Moodle. The Heuristic testing is to say the least a nightmare and shows the difficulty of making a website let alone web learning environment truly accessible. The Open University has been doing a lot of work on this which will eventually filter through into later versions of Moodle.
Have been reading much more related to ‘Connectivism’ and how it might relate to actual learning within schools. There is a great post written over at the Education Bazaar Blog along with an interesting paper at the Bazaar.
Other interesting news is on the development of integration of Elgg – a Personal Learning Environment , with Moodle and then an eportfolio application. Its in its early glitchy technical stages but this might be a resolution to the problems I have come across within Moodle specifically related to lack of ownership by the students using the learning environment. This might be down to me being a little precious and not allowing the students to change themes to suit themselves, but there is much more than that.
Anyway, enough I need to get on with this assignment. I wonder how everyone else is doing?
