• I feel that these learning strategies will compliment most learners/users, e.g.:– Reflective (prefer working alone)– Active (kinaesthetic)– Visual learners– Auditory (uploading of videos)

• Collaboration is definitely possible.• The ning site would be created initially for

Certificate III & IV students to use as a means for forming study groups etc, and keeping in contact outside of the classroom.

• Moving forward, qualified gym instructors and personal trainers to utilise as a vehicle for sharing ideas (e.g. new exercises), posting blogs, uploading useful web links or videos etc.
