About

I work for the Department of Internal Affairs in Wellington, New Zealand as an Instructional Designer.

I am also designing training materials for my church, Arise Church (www.arisechurch.org.nz), that will be both on and offline.

The end of something is always the beginning of something else.

I have finally finished my CeLDD course except for a review of my final e-learning course.

It's been an interesting course. I've learnt a lot about learning technologies. Along with this course and a few really good blogs I think I have made exponential growth in my e-learning skills.

Another important thing I have learnt is the importance of a good facilitator. When you don't have the opportunity to physically interact with anyone in your class it's good to know that someone is there to assist you, even though it may be asynchronously.

All along the way I have taken what I have been learning about and applied it to my work.

I am really excited to share this knowledge with my team as we do more and more e-learning. We are already miles ahead of other groups in our department and I look forward to the opportunity to showcase our new skills to them.

We are setting the benchmark and we can be proud.

It's been interesting using moodle lately to create an e-learning course. I don't usually work with it and the LMS we have at work is totally different.

It's good to be able to chunk content together into one course with many modules. At my work you have to send links to each individual 'course' for a learner to know which modules to complete.

It's quite clumsy but I think there are a few things we can do to enhance the user experience. We can assign courses to jobs and business groups and the learner can see what the 'suggested courses' for their role are. This should eliminate the need for links and learners having to look through the course 'bookcase.'

There is so much functionality in moodle that sometimes I just don't know what to do. But simple is always good. My CeLDD course will be coming to an end soon when I finally publish my e-learning course for students.
