Being organised and sharing resources.
Couldn't agree more with future proofing, the case study of Alicja was a good example of a teacher future proofing resources, the conclusion was striking: "Alicja believes that these steps will make the ongoing updating manageable. In the longer term she
plans to take a fresh look at her approach to teaching.
She wants to explore ways to make more and better use of modular and bite-sized resources across
multiple courses and levels of learning.
She wants to make her teaching less reliant on her collections of resources"
Sort of informative.
time saving and energy saving is at the forefront of everyone's thoughts
Good.
The idea of creating 'plug in' modules of content, usable in a range of courses is a good one, if a collaborative environment was established.
would have been useful to know how to link the resources
Good concepts that were interesting and valid.
Interesting ideas to be aware of
Video does not always compliment the questions
Simple concept well explained.
