Title of session:

From online classroom to community of practice - a new elearning paradigm

Description:

E-learning to date has largely been a transferral of traditional classroom-based methods into web-based virtual classrooms. Learning takes place in a restricted space with a restricted number of learners for a restricted period of time. This learning, and any tacit knowledge captured, is usually then archived and is inaccessible to the next intake of learners.

This presentation will look at a new qualification offered by the Canterbury Tertiary Alliance that is attempting to break this mould. The qualification aims to build an ongoing community of practice where both students and other subject specialists have continued access to the knowledge captured and created as students move through their learning pathway. The philosophy behind the qualification will be examined as well as the system developments that were undertaken. A walk through the learning space that has been created will also be included.
