"A new UK-focussed report published by Childnet International aims to support teachers and lecturers who wish to explore the use of social networking services by young people. In this guest post, Josie Fraser, the report's author, explains more."

"This web site synthesises outputs from the JISC Learner Experiences of e-Learning programme. The programme spanned two phases over four years from 2005-2009. It comprised nine research projects in total (two in phase 1 and seven in phase two), employed mixed method approaches, and had the sustained involvement of over 200 learners and more than 3000 survey respondents. Five national workshops were run disseminating the methods and findings. The programme focussed on the learner voice. Learners allowed us into their worlds and showed us what it is like to study in a technology-rich age. The projects produced a huge collection of rich, detailed data that sheds light on what learners expect from the use of technology in post-compulsory education and the choices they make about using technology to support their study."

"The purpose of this post is to provide a concrete description of how curriculum mapping of a Moodle course might work.", i.e., "Map how well the activities, resources and assessment within their Moodle course aligns with a set of outcomes." Gives the example of graduate attributes.

Long post about experience of using audio feedback on student work.  Uses Wimba Voice Tools to record and distribute the feedback.

Giving students feedback on work by audio rather than text.  Blog post with some useful links to current audio feedback projects.

Very interesting post that is probably more about economics than search but nevertheless reveals the dark arts of the search provider!
