E-tivity 1.1

Hi everyone
I am Narelle Bell. I have been a permanent teacher of library studies at Hunter TAFE for 2 years, having been part-time casual for the previous 8 years. Ever since I first started teaching I have dabbled in creating online resources and using technology such as video conferencing to reach students who couldn't attend classes in person. It's all been trial and error and getting ideas from other people. I am really looking forward to this subject as it looks like it will formalise the learning - rather than a bit here and there - and hopefully fill in gaps and offer some new ideas too. 

Our institute management wants to increase its online presence, so there is a push to put our library subjects online. We have a lot of material we have created for use in the classroom, but I don't believe in simply uploading this to moodle and leaving it at that. I would love to create material that can be interactive and instructive so that students learning on-line can be stimulated. I believe there is much more to learning than just reading information. This has become something of a mission for me - to find and/or create material to use in the e-courses we are being required to establish.
