The return of study – Masters thoughts, Argunaut course and beyond…
Well after yet another hiatus, yes the curse of the busy blogger I am back again to set up what will be happening over the next few months. After taking some time to settle back in England and working at ACS Egham International School it is now time to focus on my studies a little more. And believe me lots has been happening and their is now what I call a three pronged assault on my Masters course which in fact is probably an avoidance measure to actually sitting down and getting stuck into my research project.
Prong 1 – Argunaut E-Facilitation Course – a course ran as part of a research project from the University of Exeter which involves using Web CT and hopefully will be discussing issues realted to bringing successful e-learning to education. More to follow shortly.
Prong 2 – Module 5028 Research Methods – a course which I have elected to participate in so as to improve my knowledge and understanding of the best research methods to use within my main research paper in my Masters.
Prong 3 – Ideas for my Research project have began to split again after being convinced that the use of a Social Network to enhance language learning was my focus. Recently having changed schools I have found that there are many other areas that I could look at in terms of research papers and ideas. One that is beginning to take root in my mind is the idea of comparing the use of FirstClass use with teachers and students. It is the main communication tool with teachers and also for use for professional development, it is also used with all high school students as a place for resources and is in fact their only e-learning tool at this moment in time.
So I will definitely be busy in the weeks to come, and will be reporting back more soon on all three prongs…
