With 5-6 major projects commencing in November 98, it is highly likely that online training will also be included. Our online development team welcomes collaborative ventures. You are welcome to visit, and participate in any discussion boards but please keep in mind the HUB was developed to support TAFE SA staff only. Part of this induction is a WebCT Learner Guide that is being used at 40 sites internationally, including the home site of the WebCT development team in UBC, Canada. We often use a real time tutorial as a teaching tool.
Learners log on at a particular time, usually for one hour.
There are a variety of techniques used from simple question and answer, to three 20 minute topics, to collaborative group work with group leaders. The question and answer technique works well for more technical topics. Learners need to do activities before coming and bring their problems and queries to the tutorial. The topics style usually starts with the teacher leaving activities for learners to do before coming to the tutorial, then introducing the first topic. Learners add their comments while the teacher sits and reads.
