What follows is narrative of our experience and a procedure that any teacher can use to extend JiTT to a flipped classroom

Extremely useful article on the content and the design of the online courses. Kolb (1984) identifies four learning styles which work with the learning modes. A short description of the learning styles can be found in original work with much greater detail in this paper Implementing Kolb's Learning Styles into Online Distance Education

Learning Theories & Models for Educational Research & Practice.

An excellent example of how Peer learning communities can work effectively with minimal educator input.

Having lived abroad (in the Middle East) I had experienced multicultural society. It is a question how effective might be growing a community virtually when physical contact would help overcome some hurdles. A food for thought., IvanS

Having read around I like the people everyone likes - Schon, Moon, Gibbs - however this little blog post and recording by Jenny Mackness has helped put it into practical terms and I can now see a glimpse of what Neal has " been on about"!

I have been told twice, very recently, and quite often in the past - that I am a glass half empty person. In other words I am a pessimist and the implication is that this is not good. Good would be...

LEaD this year are developing and sharing expertise around inclusive learning - I wonder if Wolverhampton would come and do a piece at our conference learning@city in June? This project will deliver a new module around the idea of inclusive teaching that will be available for the professional development of teaching and support staff.

So, you want to learn about building online communities? Then you've come to the right place!

Thank you Sam Divall. I found this very usefull at this initial stage of TEAP.

Good breakdown and explanation of Blended Learning as an approach to learning and teaching. This combines and aligns learning undertaken in face to face sessions with learning opportunities created online.

This is the second post in a three part series on group work in online learning communities. Post one, featured why we need group work in online learning,  and post three will be on how to evaluate.

Thank you for sharing. would be useful for the final project design.

Useful guide in our attempt to put to good use the knowledge related to online communities.

A Step-by-Step Guide for Designing and Cultivating Communities of Practice in Higher Education.

Very useful page detailing items to consider in building an online community. Most interesting of all is the comment that 'good content is spread by your community'.

Sam, indeed valid points. I feel they will be useful when thinking about the project.

thanks sam - just what I need to get my blogging started - I better build up some content and a schedule !

Good example of an institutions advice to its' facility on the benefits of using technology with assessment.

Great practical resources and ideas from Curtis Bonk et al

Neal, I plan to check this when putting foundations to my Project design.

thanks Neal - I like the look of this one too - I am looking at motivation in my project so this might well be of use.

An inspirational talk about how it is possible to create free education for everyone using technology.
