The course will use a mixture of media, including video, online Adobe Shockwave lectures, postings on this site, our new Wiki and Photo Album resources. This course is designed to meet the envisaged conceptual framework of Education 3.0 and as such attempts to meet UWC’s education policy. In essence the focus is on resource-based and collaborative learning, where the lecturer does not prescribe but rather facilitates the education process. This approach holds two important considerations a) lecture material does not necessarily need to be reviewed in the order presented and is not necessarily a linear progression of thoughts, and b) assignments are designed around progressively acquired skills. This of necessity means material needs to be reviewed in an integrative way and a start on all assignments should be undertaken within the first two weeks. Participants are reminded that the approach used requires transference of responsibility from the "educator to the learner". Correspondence should preferably be made via the Blog where the issues are of value for the entire class or by Private Message for personal communication. The course is designed to cover six weeks and a significant proportion (40%) of the assessment is assigned to participation on this weblog. Consequently participants are politely reminded to login for commenting so as to ensure that all their participation is reflected by the management system. All weblog articles should be filed in the appropriate category and each assignment will be provided with its own folder for submission. I hope you enjoy the course.
