E-Tools and Tips

This group has been set up for the Video in e-learning session for e-Tools and Tips September series of How To Session for 2007 E-learning Networks Community Forum.

Initially we'll be discussing video good practices however we plan to keep this site going and expand it to include other cool tools for e-learning for education and training.

This group is open and we invite you to join.

Before the online session (Wednesday 26 September at 3.30pm to 4.30pm AEST) participants will be encouraged to join the community and let me know what information relating to video in e-learning they would most like to take away from the live session.

This community will also be used during the live session - more about that later.

We live by the mottoes, "There are no dumb questions" and "We can all learn from each other."

Here we go

I am not very creative in writing and putting thoughts to paper, so Twitter I have read is good for me, I am starting to get overloaded with all the technology that is around on these sites, but I still find myself dipping in and out of forums and wiki sites, trying to gather as much information as possible so I can shortcut through the maze, as other people have trialled and written about their experiences.

First Blog post

Would it be correct to assume that topics of discussion are put forward to the forum area of the ning, which are openly commented on, but manifest to ot… Continue
