a model for lifelong learning to support university staff in using and developing online resources and tools
Présentation (Abstract in English) avec Michel Herreria lors la conférence annuelle de l’association européenne des universités d’enseignement à distance / EADTU à Poitiers les 17/18 septembre prochains.
Back in July 2007 while working on the delivery of a staff training workshop at Reid Hall (Columbia University campus in Paris), Bill Koulopoulos, Stéphane Charitos (Columbia University Language Resource Center, NYC) and myself started to think about obstacles met when a unit or an institution is developing online teaching resources. Last term, I was also able to attend LSE information systems course IS470 and it helped me a lot to understand technology within organisations.
Here is the abstract of the presentation Bill and I will do at the LLAS conference on 8/9th July, York University (UK):
Terry King from UCL showed the way with ATLAS and CROSSCALL. Participants were also very interested in both voice boards (the kids’ favourite activity in LSE mentoring scheme) and in sharing a user-friendly VLE (moodle ? as opposed to WebCT). I would be keen in sharing with teachers interested in multimedia resources the E-repository for teaching material we are developing with Columbia University NYC.

Governement funded intiative “Routes into languages” aims to address the UK’s language deficits by for example increasing the take-up of languages in schools. At the moment many suggestions focus on taster days and presentations by university students as “ambassadors”. However since 2003 we have developed a mentoring scheme which really makes a difference. Students visit once a week a school to assist teenagers in learning French using a VLE. Guess what ? It works and they all benefited from it. Nevertheless, this scheme requires motivation, good communication, user friendly technology and of course… funding.
