Flexible learning - the big picture

I am looking at the final assessment for the flexible learning course, and trying to link it into a new teaching model I discovered while searching the web, it's called the participation model by Collis & Moonen.

I would really love your feedback on my plan so give it the once over and make suggestions
I would really like to know your thoughts on the global community, does it seem something that is achievable in my lifetime
Thanks in advance

electronic portfolios post

HI Jenny and the other guys, it is interesting that some of our material requires a high standard of comprehension (i guess) and how we can assume because we can read it confidently the rest should be able to. Our students in vet nursing have a similar problem, the notes can often contain strange language and words a mile long, very of putting to students, we have done a lot of work in re-vamping our written notes to reduce terminology where we can and to introduce ideas in picture, video and interactive forms, all seem to have students engaging more in various topics, the problem we face is we are constrained by unit standards which often want us to assess using written material, where most of our teaching is done in kinesthetic styles because nursing is a 'hands on' profession, i'm sure this causes confusion for the students who learn to 'do' then have to write about doing it. not sure what the answer is?


We are now looking at using things like a portfolio to show evidence of competence, and I remember from my nursing days that attestations from other nurses and colleagues could be counted as evidence (with other bits as well) to show competence, I would be interested if an on-line portfolio might be the answer,showing students doing tasks, getting feedback and reflecting on that feedback (just like we are doing). anybody have any ideas?
