Lots of reading

Hi everyone,

I really enjoyed Bronwyn's video (although somehow I could not turn up the volume - so had to lean very close to my screen) quite an interesting experience. Have gone though most of this weeks work - by this I mean I printed and/or saved lots of readings. Being a reflective learner this means that I won't be sleeping anytime soon.... One point that really came through to me is that designing the appropriate plan is paramount - after all you only get what you ask. Methodology should be appropriate and the triangulation concept makes lots of sense. I also think that the plan should have the ability to be modified to meet changing situations. After say, a focus group panns the learning module - then go back to stage 1 to discover if it's the methodology at fault, or the course being evaluated. This is off the top of my hat - so it's away to read.

Have a good weekend
Jennifer

I am glad to hear that you got out the popcorn for the video and had some fun Jennifer. :) Too bad about the sound - I hate the way the recording makes me sound like I have a lisp. I don't!

I hope you got some sleep - perhaps the reading lulled you into willie winkie land.

Your point about flexibility in the plan is very important. For example, if the methods for collecting data are not getting much response then other means will need to be introduced and tried out.
