H807 - Innovations in e-Learning - Day One

This is Day 1 of my new course - Innovations in E-Learning. Our first activity is a 10 question quiz. It's very much an "ice-breaker" so that students can get used to working together.

I'm in Lesley Shield's Tutor Group for the course, and in this activity I'm in Group C with:

Esther Bartmann
Fiona Hevey
Dominique-Alain Jan
Theodora Kyriakou
Yoshiko Terada

These are the questions, and my initial thoughts that I've added as part of a post:

1. What online services are provided by the Open University Library and how do you expect to use them?

NS. I could answer this quite easily if needs be.

2. Name two online journals related to elearning that provide full-text articles on an open site. Are the articles peer-reviewed before publication?

NS. I could answer this but would need to do some double-checking.

3. What websites do you know that specialise in information about elearning and in what ways are they useful?

NS. I could answer this quite easily if needs be.

4. What is Wikipedia? Name three different ways you can get involved with it.

NS. I could answer this quite easily if needs be.

5. Name two email distribution/discussion lists on matters related to elearning, mobile learning or computer-mediated communication in education. If you are a member of such a list, how useful do you find it?

NS. I could answer this but would need to do some double-checking.

6. What is the Library’s SAFARI and who do you think would benefit from using it?

NS. I could answer this quite easily if needs be.

7. What is Lyceum and how does it enable Open University students to communicate?

NS. I could answer this quite easily if needs be.

8. Name two good resources on online etiquette (netiquette). When were these resources created and why?

NS. I could answer this but would need to do some double-checking.

9. Name one type of software developed by the Open University’s Knowledge Media Institute and explain briefly how it is used.

NS. I could answer this but would need to do some double-checking.

10. Find the Open University’s OpenLearn website. Who might use OpenLearn’s LearningSpace and LabSpace?
