Something to Share

Hi Folks

We are now into week 2. How has the first week been so far? I hope it has gone well for you and you had a good weekend. I thought I'll share with you this website www.aalf.org This foundation was set up for the idea that learning can happen anywhere and anytime. Anyway, they have a comprehensive website that you can browse through. I am directing your attention to http://www.aalf.org/News/default.aspx this is the news section where various instituitions around the world share their experiences with anytime anywhere learning. Enjoy.

Also, this week's class is on "Designing for Active Learning" which yours truly will be doing with you. See you on Wed / Thu at 2p.m. at T4A21.

Class for Next Week

Hi Folks,

It's a Friday! You have survived a week back! I saw my students for the first time today and I must say they are a all very very different and I think it will be a very interesting challenge to engage all of them. It may be a challenge but I bet it will be an interesting one. Am already thinking of how I can make them come out of their shells and be more vocal. This is quite an irony considering the fact that next week's Wednesday and Thursday's class is "Designing for Active Learning".

I will share with you some active learning strategies that some lecturers have used for both large and small groups. Don't forget to bring your laptops and don't forget to sign up for the course for catering purposes. Cheers folks and have a well-earned weekend to recharge!

See you on Wednesday or Thursday!
