Limitations and a number of suggestions and concerns

Posted by Dana on Thursday, September 30, 2010,

The generalizability of the evaluation of the “the smiley face approach” can be threatened by a limited number of students participating in the evaluation process. This is due to a number of reasons. Apparently many Nursing and Foundation for Nursing students are mature students and have a number of other obligations and commitments and might not have enough time to participate in the survey.

Nevertheless, it has the potential to be extended to a larger sample once the piloted programm...

Learning by Evaluation with Michael Winter

Posted by Dana on Wednesday, September 22, 2010,

The teleconference session was very useful and informative during which a number of interesting concepts and phrases such as SL, SLENZ, MUVO, Researchware, PowerGramoTM and NVIVO were introduced and briefly explained.

Bronwyn had arranged for Michael Winter to present about the evaluation he conducted for the “Second Life” project.

I started my holiday last Friday (I am still on holiday) but did not want to miss the session. I joined the teleconference very early and Michael was alread...

Another Teleconference Session

Posted by Dana on Friday, September 10, 2010,

On 8th Sept. 2010, we had another teleconference session with Bronwyn. Bronwyn had invited Rachel Byars to talk about the evaluation plan she had conducted last year. Rachel Byars has accomplished a needs evaluation of the suitability of eLearning options in teaching hotel management. Unfortunately I finished work at 6:00 and it took more than 45 minutes to get home. By the time I arrived home and joined the session, Rachel had already talked about many aspects.

Although I had been doing a...

Another meeting on 2nd of Sept. 2010

Posted by Dana on Thursday, September 2, 2010,

Louise and I met again at 4:00 pm at the LSC to discuss our assignment. It seemed that Louise had completed many aspects of her assignment and just needed to put certain paragraphs and items under the right headings and titles. She later realized that she needed to edit her work again and cut and paste as appropriate. She also thought that she needed to include some visual demonstrations in her work.  I needed to do some administrative work from 4:30 until 6:00 pm as we do not have an adminis...
