Sharing initial findings
You will now share your findings from your initial ‘research’ in Activities 2 to 5 with the other participants on the course. Having done so you will begin to build up a picture of the contexts of other course participants, and the way in which they are going about using a VLE. In later parts of the course you will be asked to reflect on your plans with reference to published research, guidance and policy.
Activity 7 Sharing initial findings in the forum
The objective of this course activity is to share and discuss ways in which VLEs are being implemented in participants’ schools.
7.1 Go to the course forum and, in the discussion called ‘Sharing initial findings’, post a message in which you summarise your key points from the SWOT analysis and findings from Activities 2 to 5.
7.2 Read the posts of other participants and discuss the ways in which their plans are similar or different to your own. You may find you need to ask for further information in order to make sense of how another participant’s school is using their VLE.
Remember to return to this discussion every day or so to respond to any replies to your message and to engage with any new posts in the discussion.
