Action Research Cycle
I was doing a bit of Goggling about Models of Research and came across this image that I though was good. Source:Center for Enhanced Learning and Teaching (CELT) It clearly shows that you need to plan, do and review and then tweak as needed.
ePortfolio
We had a couple of weeks between out Trends in eLearning Module and our Research Module so I took the opportunity to update my ePortfolio and tidy it up. I had a bit of sole searching to do around privacy of my ePortfolio after looking at others in the class. The majority are private but […]

Moovly
My experience of trying Moovly was a positive one. I originally recorded a presentation using a voice over but after peer feed back I re-recorded it as the voice over was rushed.
