Progress 1 of my own elearning project

My Project: Spicing up my online units for Cert IV / Diploma in Bus Admin
My Update: I've updated and added some more units for this semester and we are using the information for the first time this week. I've been more aware of making sure students update their online information to ensure they add their own email address - for more regular contact (motivating).
I've added a wiki for our fortnightly meetings - inviting students to add agenda items as required. How successful this will be will only come to light after a few fortnightly meetings.
I have requested a guest student login for our group to access these online units - and if one's available I will ask our Orange group to have a look and offer feedback.
I'm continuing to use my blog: http://millersmindmap.blogspot.com to keep all of my online learning in one place.
My Barriers: My most recent barrier has been the QA process through Online Educational Services (OES). It is a very lengthy, very "particular" and very discouraging process. At one point they had "misplaced" 2 of our units. None of my other face to face teaching material goes through such strike scrutiny. However, with my heart on my sleeve I will push forward and develop another two units ready for next year, and continue to improve what is currently there. I've learnt a lot this time around with OES - I'm not going to sit back and wait nicely next time - I'm going to ensure OES know I need my work by a certain date and ask them to acknowledge my requests for work submitted.
I'm glad I have this project - as it's my incentive to keep looking for new and exciting ways of making my students' learning experience more enjoyable.
