The Staff Journey• OCN Structuring a Virtual

Learning Environment• Why did we write it?• How was it delivered/what did

we coverCourse Link

• What did we learn from the pilot of this course? (Gaps we hadn’t considered)

Why the gaps?• Teacher Ed does not cover this content

enough – contextual knowledge of blending techniques

• CPD based more on tools rather than pedagogy

• Moodle always seen and used as a repository and not active platform

• Not enough sharing within the college of active practices using online tools. (Many didn’t

realise what you could do)

• The context of online learning with traditional teaching and learning knowledge

• Learning theory in learning design• Planning for blending learning in SOW• Using active learning methods rather than

passive repository use• What knowledge is needed before hand and

what knowledge can be developed further
