The Future of the Flexible Learning Unit
There have been changes to FLU recently. Antony Marsh has moved from Quality and Innovation to Flexible Learning, though he continues in his role of e-learning trainer; Asim Aziz our online learning administrator has moved from Sunbury, and joins the wider team based at Newport. I myself joined FLU, as the new Head of Unit in the middle of August. I come hot footed from the UK where I was based in the Unit for the Enhancement for Learning and Teaching, at the University of Kent.
Last week we had a planning day, where we discussed our Operational Plan. This will obviously be informed by the eLearning Stategy and the TLS operational plan. I hope to get this plan out for consultation quite soon, amongst our colleagues in Higher Ed. and TAFE. Part of that plan will be around community and the creation of forums and communities of practice. A couple of examples of what we are hoping to do is the setting up of communities around e-learning, where we’ll showcase what’s new, and interesting in the area; I also hope to have a conference early next year on e-learning where we can have practitioner input from both VU and outside.
We are always happy to talk to staff about e-learning and any assistance we can give! Contact any of the team, or myself.
