Download the MP3 file (1:06 mins)PresenterAndrew DoucheSynopsisIn this presentation, Andrew will explain why he believes it is necessary for educators to adopt new approaches to communicating with a new generation of learners. His intention is not to promote “high-tech” skills in teachers, but rather to encourage widespread adoption of easy-to-use technologies that are ‘high-concept’ and have the power to transform class interaction.Andrew discusses how any educator is able to change the way he or she communicates with students, taking advantage of the very same digital communication tools that Gen-Y students use. From podcasting to online forums to mobile phones, this presentation will explore the potential in digital communication technologies to challenge where, when and how class members interact, and even who the class members are.Network ResourcesConference wikiImages from the conferenceAustralian Flexible Learning FrameworkAndrew's slides as PDF Adobe Connect RecordingAndrew's website Douchy's Biology

Download the MP3 file (30 mins)PresenterKaye BowmanSynopsis Kaye’s presentation will discuss seven factors required together to sustain e-learning innovations:1. Strategy – a longer term view than any one e-learning innovation is required.2. Senior leadership – must support in ways appropriate to their particular situation.3. Business case – is a key driver for for-profit businesses, especially cost savings.4. Resourcing – external resources are short term; internal resources are required.5. Champions – to build capability especially through one-to-one mentoring on how to use technologies.6. People supports – to make it possible for teachers to focus on achieving learning using technologies thatcould be internally and/or externally located.7. Technology – both sufficient hardware and software support that could be internally and or externallylocated. An organisation’s level of e-maturity depends on how well they exhibit these seven factors.Network ResourcesConference wikiImages from the conferenceAustralian

Download the MP3 file (44 min)PresenterHoward ErreyVictorian Innovations Coordinator, Australian Flexible Learning FrameworkSynopsisEver wondered what happens on the inside of an innovator? We’d all like to think that we can empower and open our students and organisations to the new wonderful ways of the web; but it’s not always simple and straightforward. There’s the challenges on the outside such as firewalls and the risk managers; but there’s also our inner psychology to deal with as well. Innovators might be able to see a marvellous future or potential, but don’t always feel empowered about what is going on around (and inside) them right now; and often feel alone.Looking at mythology about innovations as well as examples of some notable innovators and sample E-learning Innovations projects, Howard looks at what makes an innovator and ask ‘how much fire can we steal?’ The intention of this session is that we gain insight into our own capacity for empowerment and development as an e-learning leader.Network
