A brilliant example of a 2007 NSW LearnScope poster ready for printing.
It arrived today from Steven Cutmore and team as a PDF document attached to an email.
Perfect for printing.
It clearly articulates the who, what, where, why and when for the project. It tells the journey and shows the clients to whom the project was geared to.
When this team turns up for Elearning07 it will be A3 in dimensions, laminated and in full view of industry reps passing by through the two days at the event.
These contact details may then be recorded and made available when they apply for business case driven projects next year engaging clients using relevant, engaging, sustainable practices that use e-learning for what it does best.
There will be no LearnScope in Australia next year.
The name will cease to be. The model as we know it will not exist in the form we have become accustomed to.
My job doesn’t exist as of January 31st, 2008.
There will be an exciting array of opportunities for those people and organisations who can clearly articulate why the Framework would spend even $1 on any form of enterprise related activity that an Institute or any RTO might care to forward in a contestable field of players nationally.
Consider that your poster, your Slidecast and your 3 min presentation is your ticket and “interview” for your educators and learners future.
Robyn Jay, Jo Kay, Luke Hodges and all the Framework team are here to help you in realising your day on the stage…the final Elearning07 LearnScope showcase.
Let’s celebrate this and put in the last hard yards. …..it’s your track not ours.
Phone us, email us, fax us, mail us, Twitter us, SMS us….do whatever it takes to get your three awesome examples of what you DID do to us by Friday.
Do it.
Love your work.
Love your work too Alex………….I have a group of mature aged tutors bursting at the seams to make Literacy Learning an exciting and relevant experience for the learners of the future, through the use of technologies that, a year ago, they had never heard of. Surely this makes LearnScope mega-worthwhile! Judi
Go Port Macquarie! Looking forward to seeing you guys at eLearning07.
Alex
Thank you for your comment Judi - there are moments… days…. when Alex and I seriously wonder what on earth we have actually achieved. Hearing real success stories like yours and watching people like you who are truly motivated and committed to improving learning opportunities make it all worth while.
….ditto from what Robyn said.
We spend most nights till 11 pm working…..immersed in what we love and thats empowering others to take tiny incremental steps forward , to live, to love and to get into growing knowledge in any way they can.
We do get completely overwhelmed at times with the sheer mountains that are needed to climb to allow people access to online learning and flexible delivery options beyond a print-press pack that goes to the wrong address.
It makes me sick sometimes to see people sitting on their hands while others struggle to pay time out for their enthusiastic staff. The blog post serves as a kick in the butt for those still wandering around faculty meetings with blank looks and glum web 1.0 perspectives and a massive thankyou for those on the ball and delivering the goods that Robyn and I have to answer to at the end of the day.
Your projects may well be coming to a close….our reporting schedule has just begun. Please help us to account for your brilliance and progressive capability building this year.
As one of the people who has been empowered by the support that robyn and alex have given to take those tiny incremental steps I would like to say a huge THANK YOU. Thanks to you I have gone from being a complete technology luddite to supporting students in doing digistories and podcasting as part of their workplace learning. I now often run meetings in Adobe by choice, I put videos up on teacher tube, I think more creatively about course delivery….and…I’ve only just begun…..
You go Kate
Your team has done some amazing triangulation this year and yes……your future is assured.
Just begining is all it takes.
I’m still doing it.
Fantastic work Port Macquarie IT - you are true champions!! Take a bow!
I for one have learned so much from my involvement in the Learnscope Project. Prior to begining I had no idea what Web 2.0 meant, I had never heard of a wiki, flickr and pod casting was just something that was suggested to be done at the end of some of the TV shows I watch!!!!Let alone to actually now feel comfortable using most applications. I look forward to using the technology, not only with other staff, but using it for distanced students as well…….. To all invloved in the coordination of the project….” a job well done” and many thanks. I can see why you are working till late, it’s addictive and rewarding when you know how.. and now, I, if only a little bit, know too!! To the rest of our team, lets keep up the use of these newly learnt literacies.
Great feedback Liz.
Who for a moment would have thought that we’d “hear” the words coming through a blog comment.
Yours are loud and clear.
Great poster !!!!!!!!. Covers all aspects. Champions -:)
Robyn and Jay your support has been fantastic. I learnt a lot about web 2.0 and Knwoldge sharing. Barriers to knowldge sharing has no place in this day and age.
THANK YOU
Many thanks to Learnscope! Since its beginnings it has given my colleagues and I valuable TIME to learn, explore and develop our expertise - as well as technological nouse and terrific people. All this has enabled us to supplement our teaching strategy repertoire with new and engaging, relevant material. Much appreciated : )
