May 09


May’s been quite a busy month for us here at Lewisham. Firstly we had the programme meeting at the Lakeside Centre at Aston University - a really fabulous setting and for once the weather was on our side.

It was an interesting day looking at organisational culture and strategies for change, reverse brainstorming, evaluation and measuring change.

May also was important for us as the learners got their first look at the portal through an introduction to Moodle and Mahara. The curriculum team have also set up their own blog (see Moodle Experience link on the right) to record their experiences of using this. Our aim is to let the learners engage with some elements now so that we can use their feedback to improve the portal offering we will be using from September.

We also had a major awareness raising event on 22nd May where we introduced over 100 people across the whole college to the concept of the Learner Portal. As a result of this it looks quite likely that we will be launching Moodle, Mahara and the e-ILP to a much wider audience than anticipated.
