Anecdotes • Empty workshops • Never a good @me • Priori@es • Rush jobs • Unprepared • Unrewarded
@beckyharcombe men@oned that some do not want or refuse to use it. and this needs examina@on. ques@on asked; is it twi)er? or is it because it's part of a professional community?
HEGARTY & KELLY
Four main findings: 1 The staff development models in use across six ter6ary ins6tu6ons in New Zealand were very similar – training workshops for technology and learning management systems, qualifica6ons, just-‐in-‐6me, peer support, mentoring. 2 Par6cipants engaged in a wide-‐ranging amount of informal staff development ac6vi6es because of a number of factors, for example, (i) par6cipants’ interests were wider than what formal staff development had to offer, and (ii) 6me and workload constraints. 3 Exis6ng formal staff development models in the six ins6tu6ons sampled were not always adequate to assist staff to fully develop their capability and poten6al for eLearning. 4 The findings of this project were consistent with research elsewhere in the New Zealand ter6ary sector, for example, in rela6on to factors impac6ng on staff who engage with eLearning (Mitchell, Clayton, Gower, Barr & Bright, 2005) and some of the impediments which may affect adop6on of eLearning, e.g. 6me and adequate support.
HEGARTY & KELLY
Some key comments about informal ways of learning included the following:
“Having a sound knowledge of technology and pedagogy assisted as one could focus on learning the eTeaching tools and eTeaching methodology”; “Many years of par6cipa6on in e-‐lists, discussion forums and chat has shaped my understanding of on-‐line communi6es”; “I have learned a lot from working informally with an on-‐line group at a … university as a 'visitor' to the site”; “Helped to develop rela6onships which may not have been forged so easily”

MOODLE SUPPORT SITES ARE A START BUT…
A walled garden Not dynamic Not an intranet Too many clicks Not easily searchable Not enough people with rights to post Content hidden in containers (fora, glossaries) But most importantly… It’s not where people live.

FROM GUTENBERG TO ZUCKERBERG
John Naughton: “One thing we’ve learned from the history of communica@ons technology is that people tend to over-‐es@mate the short term impact of new technologies – and to underes@mate their long term implica@ons”
