Better late than never as I have just joined this group. ReadSpeaker provides text to speech (TTS) engines for websites and iOS and Android apps which combine text reading with word by word text highlighting on any end user hardware. The service has a growing range of early Australian adopters including Centrelink, Comcare, Dept of Health and Ageing, Dept of Human Services, FAHCSIA, and the Australian Paralympic Committee. In elearning, adopters include Gale and Cengage. I would be happy to provide information to interested elearning professionals and I can be reached on richard.ings@readspeaker.com.

The CETL(NI) has developed a Hybrid Learning Model which can be used to describe learning activities as a series of understandable and universal set of learning events where the teachers and students experience and roles are clearly defined at each stage.
