Edublog Awards 2010 - My nominations

I came across this last year for the first time and added my vote to whoever I thought was deserving of the award although I am fully aware of the so many excellent ones out there but I am limited to only those I use on a regular basis and of course those that have impacted on me as a person in the learning & teaching spectrum extending to those that I have shared these resources to in my context - the South Pacific region; within my institution, University of the South Pacific and educators at large in the region. This has greatly impacted the enhancement of the dissemination of knowledge and skills that has much to do with enabling a developing region like the South Pacific to achieve its targets in as far as the UN Millenium Development Goals (MDGs) are concerned.

OER Debate: Why Re-Invent the Vaka - Use OERs

EDULINK-SideCAP project - Wrapping Up

As Louise and I wrap things up for the project, we have decided to make a presentation during the CDD OPS Meeting scheduled tomorrow, Tuesday 2nd November, 2010 in which we will share, reflect on our experiences during the project that will also serve as documentation for those that may be involved in such projects in the future. This also serves as Louise's last few contributions towards the project before she takes on her new position at the SPBEA next week. I only but wish Louise the very best in her future endeavours! I will surely miss our moments together in the project.

RCDF Presentation

Louise and I made a presentation at the USP Regional Campus Directors Forum today at the Communication Conference Room. Our presentation titled, Regionalising Quality HE through OERs: EDULINK-SideCAP Experience focused on background information about OERs, a showcase of the repurposed module that we worked on; Essay Writing with Readings and how OERs can play a significant part in enhancing the campuses. Our presentation is largely repurposed from a presentation in Slideshare by Sunnie Kim, MSU Global.
