On the 3rd March, I had my first lesson of Designing a Fexible Delivery with Ted Clark. It was an exciting session but somehow a brain teasing one for me. Ted has shown lots of patience with all of us. I am glad to have learnt on how to create Blogs today.

Today I tried looking into the other aspects of this communication tool. I discovered that I am getting the hang of it where inititally I had lots of worry about it. Thanks to Ted for patientlt guiding me and the rest in the class on 3rd March.
I believe that this Flexible delivery module would enhance my understanding of the different approaches of teaching and learning. I am imagining now... In my health care sector, I may want my learners (trainees) to discuss their understanding in the dashboard, where I would then be able to comment and answer to their discussions or questions. Isn't it cool? However the type of learners would have to be determined. At my work place, the healthcare workers not only involve young learners like the nursing students and the newly graduated nurses. As a Clinical Instructor I also teach and train the matured group of people, mostly retrenched adults. Their age ranges between 25 to 57 years old, where this may be a big challenge for them to be in such a method of learning. As much as it may be an effective form of online learning for learners, it may also create an isolation (Manktelow, 2004) for both the young and the matured ones. I truely agree with the author after reading the article on 'Degrees of separation'. Do check these out, guys! I have read them and I am on the way to read more.

Great Fuzzy!
Nice to see you here!
Hope we learn how to use online resources for delivery in training.
See ya!
Thank you Hussain for dropping by. How are your assignments going? Me planning and re-planning. With all the other modules we are doing simultaneously, I must say lots of effort on time management has got to be given attention to. Take care!!
Well done Fuzzy. As soon as I complete some readings I'll contribute more here and at the on-line discussions.
Good Luck!
Hi! Fuzz
It is good to hear that you will be in a good position to implement online learning back at he workplace.
I agree with you that perhaps online learning should be audience driven, given the fact that we may have older, semi-literate adults in our different work environments.
We have tried to implement online learning for ABET(Adult Basic Education) learners and we did not achieve the impact we wanted.
Thanks for that, I will also check the references.
