I browse back to the older entries and low-and-behold I see my old university project being used by a school in their Moodle hosting (Learning Circuits). The girl at the end of the video showing how much she likes using it just makes me so happy to be in e-learning. Thanks for sharing it, I would have never seen this otherwise. The web is awesome! :-) As a learning technologist for my institution (UCL) I was casually doing some background reading for Moodle 2 and I come to read your blog.

]]> Comment on Snow School Today by Chris http://www.synergy-learning.com/blog/elearning/snow-school-today/comment-page-1/#comment-3807 Chris Wed, 21 Dec 2011 17:39:32 +0000 http://www.synergy-learning.com/blog/?p=1354#comment-3807 The problem with believing that VLE environments can be setup to take over in case of snow days is that it would require a baseline of technology on the part of the students and the teachers. Students would always need internet access and a computer to access the content, and teachers would need it to lead a virtual class, or possibly to administer activities and standby for questions, etc. Unless said technology is provided to the students then a good portion of the students could miss the activities. Maybe this is a U.S. point of view, but building in those faults could be seen as putting certain classes of students at a disadvantage in an age where lawsuits run rampant. However, if the question was phrased leaning more toward corporate learning (my field) then it would make perfect sense that all operations except our manufacturing could continue. But that's only because all of our associates are provided the tools needed.
